Devin Singletary Takes Backseat To Tyrone Tracy Jr.
2 months agoNew York Giants running back Devin Singletary handled two carries for 11 yards in the team's 26-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. He added 12 yards on 2-of-3 receiving. Singletary was the clear second option for New York in this one, as rookie RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. has evidently seized control of the backfield. Tracy racked up 145 yards and a touchdown on his 20 carries, matching Singletary's reception and target total in what was an official changing of the guard for the Giants. Both backs looked good against one of the league's top defensive units, averaging more than 5.0 YPC a piece. Still, while the snap counts were closer than the box score indicates -- 41-to-28 in favor of the rookie -- Singletary's usage was way down on a per-play basis in comparison. With a home matchup against the Washington Commanders on tap in Week 9, the 27-year-old is nothing more than a handcuff -- unlikely to garner standalone value with Tracy leading the way.
