BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Devin Singletary initially became a popular waiver wire option after he paced the Texans’ backfield in snaps (31) and rushing yards (58) in Week 6. He also averaged 4.8 yards per attempt, while also leading the backfield in routes (13) and targets (two) during that matchup.
Singletary and Dameon Pierce operated with similar snap totals (Singletary (24), (Pierce 23), and rushing attempts Pierce (12), Singletary (10) in Week 8, while Singletary and Mike Boone led the backfield in routes run (eight).
However, Pierce was contending with an ankle issue that sidelined him in Week 9. That launched Singletary into lead-back duties during Houston’s matchup with Tampa Bay. Singletary unsurprisingly led the Texans’ backfield in snaps (54) and rushing attempts (13), while also pacing Houston’s backs in routes run (27).
Pierce’s health should be monitored as the week advances and could return for the Texans' Week 10 visit to Cincinnati. However, Pierce is averaging just 3.0 yards per attempt, and his ongoing inefficiency should open a runway for Singletary to continue operating with favorable touch totals. Singletary is still available in 50% of all leagues and is among this week’s top priorities from the waiver wire.
