BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3
ANALYSIS: New York Giants running Devin Singletary made his debut with the team last week, but he had fewer carries than expected and was also somewhat inefficient. The 27-year-old rushed just 10 times for 37 yards, though he salvaged his performance in PPR leagues with four receptions.
Singletary saw his production scaled back partly due to a negative game script against the Vikings. That could change this week, with the Giants expected to keep the score close against the Washington Commanders.
It would be so Fantasy Football for everyone to remove players like Zamir White, Christian Watson, & Devin Singletary from their lineups today just for them to pop off wouldn’t it…

The Commanders held White to 31 rushing yards on 15 carries last week, but he gashed them in the passing game, catching six passes for an additional 75 yards through the air. Singletary figures to carve out a decent role in the passing game this week, so a top-24 is well within reach, particularly in PPR leagues.
The biggest obstacle for Singletary is the quarterback play of Daniel Jones. He threw two interceptions and took five sacks last week. If the Giants can't stay on the field or consistently find themselves far from the line to gain, they'll have less incentive to run the ball.
New York's offensive line is also a concern. The front office spent resources to rebuild the unit this year, and while it's better than in 2023, they still have major deficiencies in pass and run protection.
Therefore, while Singletary has top-24 upside, we need to temper expectations slightly and view him as more of a top-28 or top-30 option. That puts him firmly in the mix as a startable RB3/FLEX in all leagues with at least 10 teams.
