Devin Singletary 2021 Outlook: Decreasing Opportunities in Crowded Backfield
4 years agoThe Bills didn't add a running back via the 2021 NFL Draft, but they did bring in Matt Breida via free agency. While he's not likely to take on a bulk of the work, he's certainly capable in pass protection and as a pass-catcher, which could eat into Devin Singletary's opportunities this season. Singletary saw fewer carries and targets per game last season with Zack Moss in town than he did as the team's primary ball-carrier in 2019. Singletary averaged just 9.8 carries and 3.1 targets per game in 2020 compared to 12.6 carries and 3.4 targets per game in 2019. With the emergence of Moss as the early-down back, plus all the carries Josh Allen handles (6.4 per game) and now Breida in town, Singletary's opportunities could tick down even further. He should be viewed as a back-end RB3 with limited upside this season.
