With Cam Scott doubtful and Tyrone Tracy on IR, Devin Singletary is expected to get approximately 18 touches against Philadelphia Eagles; the source ranks him as a clear starter this week. Coming off a 14-point game with 5 rushes and 3 targets, Singletary benefits from a negative game script where the Giants will have the ball all game and Joe Milton likely struggles, setting up multiple drive opportunities and goal-line touches. The source projects him to score around 15 points in full PPR.

Unexpectedly featured in Week 9 running back rankings after emerging as a key contributor. With Cam Scott doubtful and Tyrone Tracy on IR, Singleary is expected to get approximately 18 touches against Philadelphia Eagles and is ranked as a clear starter. Coming off a 14-point game with 5 rushes and 3 targets, Singleary benefits from a negative game script where the Giants will have the ball all game and Joe Milton likely struggles, setting up multiple drive opportunities and goal-line touches. The source projects him to score around 15 points in full PPR.

Singletary, 29, has 1,100+ career carries and 5,000+ NFL rushing yards. Head coach John Harbaugh said Singletary's lack of playing time was 'on me' and that he was 'the odd man out' through no fault of his own, telling him 'your time will come.' Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy praised Singletary's professionalism during the benching period, noting he 'never became negative' and 'was as great of a professional player as there was,' suggesting Nagy and Harbaugh have high confidence in his ability to produce when given opportunities.

After being inactive Weeks 3-5 and carrying only 13 times in Weeks 1-2 and 6 during a four-man backfield competition, Singletary scored the game-winning overtime touchdown against Houston in Week 7 on the final play. With Tyrone Tracy on IR (hamstring) and Cam Skattebo potentially unable to play Sunday against the Eagles, Singletary is likely to be the lead back going forward.

Singletary is entrenched as the clear-cut backup to Skattebo and would get a lion's share of New York's backfield workload if Skattebo cannot play. The 29-year-old veteran is in his third season with the Giants and has played sparingly to date with 80 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. He produced exactly 437 rushing yards in each of his first two seasons with the Giants while serving largely as a backup or third-string option, and posted three seasons with at least 1,000 scrimmage yards from 2021-23.

Scott Pianowski predicts Singletary tops 100 yards or scores a touchdown in Week 9. Pianowski notes the Eagles are an injured and bad football team that can't stop anything on defense (25th in DVOA run defense, 23rd in DVOA pass defense). Singletary is an ordinary back but likely the last man standing with Cam Skattebo hurt. The Giants would prefer J.J. McCarthy manage the game rather than dominate it, especially if Malik Nabers isn't 100%. Volume hunting is a big part of the fantasy equation, and Singletary is positioned to be a volume win in Week 9. He's lagging as a mid-30s RB in industry ECR but should correct in the next few days.

Devin Singletary is an excellent value play at $4,600 DraftKings/$5,200 FanDuel if Cam Skattebo can't play. Singletary may not see high rostership due to general skepticism around the Giants backfield situation.

Singletary is positioned as a primary option in the Giants' backfield against the Eagles, with Tyrone Tracy on injured reserve and Cam Skattebo's status uncertain due to hamstring injury. The source notes the Eagles' run defense is decidedly mediocre with high Run Stop Win Rate but average YPC and high rushing EPA allowed (+11.45, 28th in the NFL), suggesting they're prone to giving up explosive plays on the ground. Singletary scored the game-winning 30-yard touchdown run against the Texans and figures to see increased volume.

Singletary is positioned as the Giants' primary healthy running back option alongside newly-added Greg Desrosiers, with practice squad backs Phil Mafah and Eric Gray as possible depth additions. He scored the game-winning 30-yard touchdown run against the Texans and is now the lead option in a depleted backfield. The Eagles' run defense has been mediocre this year with high Run Stop Win Rate but average YPC and high rushing EPA allowed (+11.45, 28th in the NFL), suggesting they are prone to giving up explosive plays on the ground.

Alex Cupps ranks Singletary RB32 for Week 9, +6 above Fantasy Life consensus (RB38). With Cam Skattebo still not practicing after a hamstring injury and Najee Harris released, Singletary profiles as a mid-range RB3 at worst. The Giants face the Eagles (13th in DvP against RBs), who allow the third-most rushing yards per game. Cupps identifies Singletary as a spot-start with upside if Skattebo doesn't play or is limited.

Singletary scored the walk-off touchdown in the Giants' overtime win against the Texans and is now under pressure to deliver as the primary running back with Tyrone Tracy Jr. on IR and Cam Skattebo dealing with a hamstring issue that could make him a game-time decision.

With Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hamstring) being sent to IR, Singletary will share the backfield with Cam Skattebo on Sunday in Philadelphia. In Week 7, Singletary scored a season-high 14.5 points, rushing for 41 yards and a touchdown on five carries, plus he added 14 receiving yards on three receptions. He can be played as a flex this week, bringing receiving value to the lineup.

With Cam Skattebo tracking to miss Sunday and Tyrone Tracy on injured reserve, Singletary is positioned as a lead option in Giants backfield alongside Gregory Desrosiers.

If Cam Skattebo cannot play Sunday against Philadelphia, Devin Singletary is on the 53-man roster and positioned to receive carries in the Giants' backfield. Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy emphasized the importance of maintaining the run game regardless of personnel: 'It's going to be the utmost importance to keep the run game going. You can't be one dimensional and just be dropping back, throwing. You've got to be able to keep that run game going. So, no matter who's back there with the carries, we've got to be efficient with the run game.'

Listed as a streaming pick for medium-depth leagues (under 35% rostered) in Week 9 against Philadelphia; RB2 if Skattebo is out, RB3/4 if Skattebo plays.

Recommended as a start instead of Kenny Gainwell in Week 9 at Philadelphia.

If Cam Skattebo (hamstring) doesn't play, Singletary could get 50 snaps and 20-25 touches with only undrafted rookie Greg Desrosiers or practice-squad callups (Phil Mafah and Eric Gray) as competition, making him a high-end RB2 for Week 9 with the Giants favored by a field goal over Philadelphia. Even if Skattebo plays, Singletary has deep-league appeal facing a Philadelphia defense that allowed 465 rushing yards over the past three weeks against weak rushing attacks (Panthers 126, Cowboys 204, Commanders 135).

Devin Singletary could rush into a massive workload with Cam Skattebo (hamstring) still not practicing, Tyrone Tracy on IR, and Najee Harris released; this should be Singletary's backfield this week against the Eagles, who have faced 27.0 RB carries per game (league average 22.4) and allowed 24+ carries in seven of eight games. The Eagles rank last in EPA per rush, 3rd-worst in rushing success rate (44.4%), and gave up 196 RB rushing yards on 36 carries in Week 7 and 112 on 24 carries in Week 8, making this a great matchup for Singletary.

Devin Singletary could rush into a massive workload with Cam Skattebo dealing with a hamstring injury. The content is truncated, but the setup indicates Singletary has significant upside if Skattebo is unavailable or limited.

May become a $4,600 workhorse back in Week 9 if Cam Scataboo is ruled out with his hamstring injury. The source is willing to play Singleary at that price even though he is not a preferred talent, given the volume opportunity against a terrible team. Also identified as pretty playable in a backfield that will likely feature him, Greg Droers, and Phil Mafa as depth options.

Adam Pfeifer predicts Devin Singletary finishes as a top-15 RB in Week 9 if Cam Skattebo (hamstring) doesn't play. With Tyrone Tracy on injured reserve and Najee Harris released, Singletary would be the Giants' lead running back facing a reeling Philadelphia run defense. Since Week 4, the Eagles surrender 4.5 yards per carry (10th-most) and 1.34 YBC/ATT (11th-most), with a bottom-five 56.6% rushing success rate on defense. Philadelphia is allowing 20.6 rushing fantasy points per game over the past five weeks (ninth-most in the NFL). Even if Skattebo plays, Pfeifer believes Singletary can finish as a top-30 fantasy option with FLEX consideration, as the Giants aren't fully committed to giving Skattebo a massive workload, especially if he isn't 100% healthy.

Devin Singletary could be New York's workhorse this week if Cam Skattebo misses the game due to his hamstring injury.

With Tyrone Tracy Jr. on injured reserve and Cam Skattebo taking the lead-back role, Singletary will handle most of the passing-game work. He found the end zone in Week 7, positioning him as the team's primary receiving back.

With Tyrone Tracy on IR, Singletary would climb into driver's seat; low-end RB2 with high-end RB1 upside if Skattebo doesn't play. Available in 87% of Yahoo leagues as SICKO start.
