Devin

Singletary

Singletary also had one target that wasn’t caught. He ended up receiving just two touches less than Tyrone Tracy in the contest (9 carries for 32 yards), but neither was effective against the Dallas front seven. Singletary will remain off the fantasy radar against the Saints for Week 14.

Putrid, though Singletary’s score came the drive after Tyrone Tracy coughed the ball up inside the Bucs’ five-yard line on New York’s opening possession of the second half. Singletary then operated as the closest thing the Giants had to a lead back until Tracy returned for the final series. Although Tracy has now lost key fumbles in back-to-back contests bookending the Giants’ bye week, it’s difficult to believe a team in evaluation mode will feature Singletary over Tracy against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

Singletary caught his only target for an additional five yards. Tyrone Tracy Jr. saw 18 carries and was targeted twice. Singletary is nothing more than a backup at this point. Even with Tracy coughing up a game-losing fumble, we don’t expect his workload to decrease after the team’s Week 11 bye. Singletary is not worth holding through the bye for fantasy mangers.

Tracy was sporting a non-contact jersey in Thursday’s practice and will have an outside chance to clear the league’s concussion protocol before Sunday’s game against the Commanders. He’ll have solid RB2 appeal if he can play, but if he can’t go, that RB2 upside would shift to Devin Singletary, who would handle most of the Giants’ running back touches in Tracy’s absence.

Tracy suffered the concussion late in New York’s loss to Pittsburgh and did not return. Per Daboll, he will do some work off to the side with trainers for Wednesday’s practice, officially beginning the week with a DNP. Tracy could return to practice later in the week and suit up on Sunday, but the odds of that aren’t high. Devin Singletary will likely get the start versus Washington in Week 9.

Tracy exited Monday night’s loss to the Steelers after sustaining a brain injury in the fourth quarter. He had shredded the usually-tough Pittsburgh defense for 145 rushing yards and a touchdown in what amounted to a backfield takeover for the explosive rookie. Tracy entering the concussion protocol on Monday night likely means he’ll miss New York’s Week 9 game against the Commanders. Devin Singletary would operate as the team’s lead back if Tracy sits.

Singletary saw just four touches to the 22 of rookie Tyrone Tracy, the latter of whom operated as the clear lead back for the second consecutive week with both backs healthy. That said, Tracy departed on the team’s penultimate drive with an apparent head injury, which could spell trouble for his availability on a short week in Week 9. If Tracy enters the league’s concussion protocol and can’t clear it in time for the team’s Week 9 game against the Commanders, we could see another shuffling in the depth chart in New York.

He earned six total opportunities on the day, which was just three fewer than what Tyrone Tracy saw after Tracy led the backfield in Weeks 5 and 6. Neither back was particularly effective, but Singletary’s fantasy value will take a massive hit if this backfield split in a bottom-five offense continues into Week 8 against the Steelers.

This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise after Brian Daboll said on Friday that Singletary will play. Rookie Tyrone Tracy is still expected to see plenty of playing time while the Giants work Singletary back into the mix, with both running backs ranking as RB3’s in RotoPat’s Week 7 rankings. While Tracy is active, the Giants did declare OT Christopher Hubbard, P Jamie Gillan, CB Adoree’ Jackson, S Anthony Johnson, LB Boogie Basham, and QB Tommy DeVito inactive for Week 7.

Daboll said the Giants plan to monitor Singletary, who is returning from a groin injury after a two-game absence. They may opt to give him a light workload in his first game back, especially with Tyrone Tracy rumored to “get plenty of playing time” as well. Tracy has totaled 237 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown over the last two games while averaging a solid 5.6 YPC. From a fantasy perspective, both backs will be hard to trust in Week 7, but Singeltary’s usage remains a complete mystery given his injury and Tracy playing well.
