Tosses TD in win over Pittsburgh
Singletary carried the ball seven times for 25 yards, caught his only target for 11 yards and completed his only pass attempt for a six-yard touchdown in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Steelers. He also returned one kickoff for 35 yards.
Analysis: With the Texans leading 16-6 early in the fourth quarter, Singletary took a pitch in the red zone from C.J. Stroud and tossed a TD to Dalton Schultz to put the game away. Singletary continues to take a back seat to Dameon Pierce in terms of workload, getting just eight touches to Pierce's 25, but his versatile usage offers some fantasy appeal in deep formats. Singletary will look to score a touchdown of his own in Week 5 against the Falcons.

Efficient on 11 touches in win
Singletary rushed nine times for 41 yards and brought in both targets for four yards in the Texans' 37-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: Singletary finished as the Texans' rushing leader on the afternoon while posting his best rushing yardage total over the first three games. The veteran back could potentially begin to encroach on Dameon Pierce's workload if the latter's efficiency doesn't improve, although in fairness, Sunday was the first time over the season's first three games that Singletary averaged over 4.0 yards per carry in his own right. The workload distribution between the two will be one to monitor as Houston…read more

Quiet in loss
Singletary carried four times for 14 yards and caught his lone target for 10 yards in Sunday's 31-20 loss to the Colts in Week 2.
Analysis: Singletary's 24 combined yards was an improvement over Week 1 (15 yards), and the target was his first of the season. The Texans ground game felt the negative impact of injuries across the offensive line. For a second straight week, the rushing attack was bottled up, and Houston's offense threw nearly twice as much as it ran. Unfortunately for the backs, all that passing hasn't resulted in many targets. Of 91 pass attempts through the first two games, the position group accounts for 11 targets.…read more

Stymied on ground in loss
Singletary rushed seven times for 15 yards and wasn't targeted in the Texans' 25-9 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: Singletary played a clear complementary role behind lead back Dameon Pierce, as expected. He was also less efficient than his backfield mate, with Pierce gaining 38 yards on his 11 carries. Singletary surprisingly wasn't utilized in the passing game whatsoever, but after recording 145 receptions over his first four seasons in Buffalo, that isn't likely to be the case most weeks in his new digs. Singeltary's first chance to atone for a forgettable Texans debut comes in a Week 2 home matchup…read more

Second back used Sunday
Singletary rushed seven times for 22 yards and caught his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's preseason finale against New Orleans.
Analysis: Dameon Pierce started and looked good in his final exhibition appearance, eventually giving way to Singletary and then Mike Boone (7-51-1) in the second half. The latter performed better Sunday -- albeit against backup defenders -- and figures to be involved more as a pass catcher, while Singletary may be used more as a true backup replacement in the event Pierce struggles or gets injured. All three backs figure to see action in some form early on, but only Pierce should generate fantasy value…read more

Starts preseason opener
Singletary started and rushed five times for 14 yards in Thursday night's 20-9 win over the Patriots in the preseason opener.
Analysis: Singletary worked with Houston's first team while second-year tailback Dameon Pierce was rested for the exhibition opener. Although Pierce profiles as the Texans' starter, Singletary represents an experienced alternative after topping 950 scrimmage yards each of his first four seasons in the league.

Joining Houston backfield
Singletary agreed Monday with the Texans on a one-year deal worth up to $3.75 million, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: During his fourth season with the Bills in 2022, Singletary carried 177 times for 819 yards and five touchdowns while adding 38 catches for 280 yards and a receiving score on 52 targets. With the move to Houston, Singletary will team up with 2022 fourth-round draft pick Dameon Pierce (ankle) to give the team a solid 1-2 RB punch this coming season. As long as Pierce can stay healthy, he'll likely be the lead option out of the backfield, but even in a complementary role Singletary should see…read more

Modest output Sunday
Singletary rushed six times for 25 yards and caught five of eight targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Bengals in the AFC divisional round.
Analysis: Singletary trailed quarterback Josh Allen in both carries and rushing yards in snowy conditions, resulting in struggles in the passing game. Furthermore, Allen scored Buffalo's lone touchdown of the contest, sneaking in from one yard. Although he contributed with a handful of catches, it was another lukewarm performance from Singletary, who is now slated to become an unrestricted free agent after totaling 1,099 scrimmage yards and six scores on 215 touches this season.

Leads Bills in rushing
Singletary rushed 10 times for 48 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Dolphins in the wild-card round.
Analysis: Singletary garnered two fewer carries than rookie James Cook, who also had a 12-yard rushing touchdown during the first quarter. Despite Cook's involvement, though, Singletary still led Buffalo in rushing yards. As the Bills now advance to the AFC divisional round, expect Singletary and Cook to continue to split snaps in Buffalo's backfield.

Finishes with 1,099 scrimmage yards
Singletary rushed seven times for 29 yards, caught his only target for three yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 35-23 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Singletary split carries with James Cook, which could remain the case in the wild-card round against the Dolphins. The former didn't help his chances of an increased workload with a third-quarter fumble, which set the Patriots up with an instant red-zone opportunity in a tie game. Singletary wraps up his fourth NFL regular season with 819 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 177 attempts as well as 38 catches for 280 yards and one touchdown on 52 targets.

Eclipses century mark in win
Singletary rushed 12 times for 106 yards and a touchdown and secured two of three targets for 19 yards in the Bills' 35-13 win over the Bears on Saturday.
Analysis: Singletary recorded a critical 33-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter that gave the Bills a lead they wouldn't relinquish. The fourth-year pro was efficient on his other carries as well, gaining 73 yards on his other 11 totes. Singletary has double-digit carries in six of his last seven games, but the 100-yard effort was his first since Week 17 against the Falcons a year ago. Singletary will next look to solve the talented Bengals defense in a Week 17 road showdown on Monday night,…read more

Totals 16 touches in win
Singletary rushed the ball 13 times for 42 yards in Saturday's 32-29 win over the Dolphins. He added three receptions on four targets for 28 yards.
Analysis: Singletary earned 16 touches as compared to James Cook's seven. The former wasn't particularly impressive in his capacity as either a runner or receiver, though he did help set up a touchdown late in the first quarter with a 13-yard reception. Singletary's involvement as a pass catcher was particularly encouraging, as he entered Saturday's contest having failed to earn more than two targets in five consecutive games. Singletary now has at least 70 total yards three times in that same span.

Modest numbers in lead role
Singletary rushed eight times for 39 yards and caught one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Singletary was busier and more effective than James Cook, who turned four carries and one target into 15 scrimmage yards. Neither running back was much of a factor, as Buffalo won this one thanks to its defense with an assist from the dual-threat production of quarterback Josh Allen, who led the team on the ground with 47 yards and a touchdown. Singletary remains the team's top running back over Cook, but Allen is the Bills' premier rushing option heading into Week 15 against the Dolphins.

Solid but outpaced by Cook
Singletary rushed 13 times for 51 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Bills' 24-10 win over the Patriots on Thursday night.
Analysis: Singletary still enjoyed a solid night overall from a fantasy perspective thanks in large part to his one-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter, his fourth rushing score in the last three games. However, it's worth noting rookie backfield mate James Cook logged one additional carry and 13 more yards, and he also posted a 6-41 line through the air on six targets. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how the division of labor shapes up in a Week 14 home divisional showdown against…read more

Productive Thanksgiving performance
Singletary carried the ball 14 times for 72 yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Thursday's 28-25 win over the Lions.
Analysis: While Josh Allen wound up leading the Bills in rushing with 78 yards, Singletary was at least efficient with his touches. The running back has produced at least 80 combined yards in six of the last nine games, putting him on pace for a career high in yards from scrimmage heading into a tough Week 13 clash with the Patriots.

Busy, productive in Week 11 win
Singletary rushed 18 times for 86 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 11 yards in the Bills' 31-23 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Analysis: Singletary tied backfield mate James Cook for the team lead in rushing yardage, logging season highs in both carries and yards in the process. The fourth-year back now also has his first consecutive games with double-digit totes, and he's found the end zone on three occasions over the last two games. Given the struggles of the Lions defense to stop the run at times this season, Singletary could potentially be heavily involved again in his return to Ford Field for a Thanksgiving afternoon…read more

Scores twice in Week 10
Singletary rushed 13 times for 47 yards and two touchdowns while catching one of two targets for no gain in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Singletary scored touchdowns of five yards and one yard in the first quarter. He scored seven times on the ground last season, but these were Singletary's first two rushing touchdowns of 2022. Buffalo relied on Singletary more down the stretch last season as the weather got colder, and the same pattern could be emerging again based on this performance in cold temperature. He'll look to build on this performance in Week 11 against the Browns.

Gets 12 touches in loss
Singletary rushed eight times for 24 yards and caught four of five targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Singletary finished a distant second to Josh Allen (86 yards, two TDs) on the ground. Buffalo's offense revolves around Allen both through the air and on the ground, so Singletary's volume is contingent on the Bills playing from in front, which wasn't the case in Buffalo's second loss of the season. Rushing opportunities could remain limited in Week 10 against the 7-1 Vikings.

Gets pass-catching complement
Singletary will have a new backfield mate after the Bills traded for Nyheim Hines on Tuesday, Alaina Getzenberg and Stephen Holder of ESPN.com report.
Analysis: While the Bills gave up running back Zack Moss in the deal, Moss was barely playing in recent weeks and Buffalo didn't trade for Hines to have him sit on the bench. That said, the Bills were said to be in the market for a bigger backfield name such as Christian McCaffrey or Alvin Kamara, so on some level, Singletary's value as a No. 1 back in a strong offense is at least maintained following the Hines deal. However, a scenario exists where Hines takes the field for the majority of third downs…read more

Gains 83 yards on 15 touches
Singletary rushed 14 times for 67 yards and caught one of two targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Singletary did his usual work in between the 20s to the tune of 4.8 yards per carry, but he was stood up at the goal line on an attempt to score from one yard out. It is a bit unusual how the lead back for one of the best offenses in the league has zero rushing touchdowns through seven games, yet here we are. The 24-year-old has still been a productive player with 506 combined yards from scrimmage to go along with one receiving touchdown. Singletary's fantasy managers are hoping the back can…read more

Triple-digit scrimmage yards
Singletary carried the ball 17 times for 85 yards and caught four of five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: For the first time this season, Singletary reached the century mark in scrimmage yards, although he'd topped 90 yards in two of the prior three games. While his production is trending up, the running back has still scored only one touchdown through six games in an offense dominated by Josh Allen heading into the Bills' Week 7 bye.

Limited in big Week 5 win
Singletary rushed six times for 42 yards and brought in one of two targets for four yards in the Bills' 38-3 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: Singletary was highly efficient with his rushing workload, but he had precious few opportunities to build on his success despite the Bills boasting a comfortable lead most of the game. The fourth-year back has logged double-digit carries only once this season, Sunday, he gave way to rookie James Cook once the game was completely out of hand. Singletary and his fantasy managers will perhaps see more opportunity on his behalf in a Week 6 road showdown against the Chiefs.

Solid all-around showing in win
Singletary rushed 11 times for 49 yards and secured four of five targets for 47 yards in the Bills' 23-20 win over the Ravens on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Singletary finished with a strong fantasy performance overall despite the lack of touchdowns and a first-quarter lost fumble that led to a Ravens field goal. The versatile back was once again encouragingly involved in the passing game after racking up a season-high nine receptions in Week 3, and Sunday's effort on the ground marked his first time over 4.0 yards per carry since Week 1.

Stars as receiver in loss
Singletary rushed nine times for 13 yards and brought in nine of 11 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 21-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: As the lopsided stat line implies, Singletary was absolutely stymied on the ground but stellar through the air. The versatile back led the Bills' air attack in receptions and receiving yards while tying Stefon Diggs in targets. Singletary's two-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter was his first score of any kind this season, and he's now collected 13 catches over his first three games. Singletary will aim to boost his rushing totals back up in a Week 4 road matchup versus the Ravens.

Limited impact in blowout win
Singletary rushed six times for 19 yards while catching two of four targets for two yards in Monday's 41-7 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Singletary was Buffalo's primary running back while the game was still competitive, but Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs dominated through the air during that time, leaving little left over for Singletary. Once the game got out of hand, Buffalo took the opportunity to get rookie second-round pick James Cook some reps. Singletary should be more involved in what should be a closer game against the Dolphins on the road in Week 3.

Singletary rushed eight times for 48 yards and secured both targets for 14 yards in the Bills' 31-10 win over the Rams on Thursday night.
Analysis: Singletary's rushing yardage total was second only to that of Josh Allen's, and he also was efficient on his pair of opportunities in the passing game. The fourth-year pro logged only two more carries than backfield mate Zack Moss, but he was exponentially more efficient, considering the latter gained all of 15 yards.

Backfield competition like James Cook (four carries for 38 yards, one 12-yard reception on one target) and Zack Moss (four carries for 19 yards and two touchdowns) were effective as well, and even fringe players like Duke Johnson (nine carries for 55 yards and two touchdowns) and Raheem Blackshear (five carries for 58 yards) got hot against Denver.

Competition cooking
The Bills drafted James Cook out of Georgia in the second round of the NFL Draft, and the rookie will presumably compete with Singletary and Zack Moss for playing time in 2022.
Analysis: Singletary ended the 2021 season on a tear, scoring nine touchdowns over the team's last six games (three regular season, three playoffs) while surpassing 80 rushing yards in four of them. However, the Bills mostly have run a committee system during coach Sean McDermott's tenure, and with Moss being a shaky option and Singletary being limited to one very nice hot streak in a three-year career, Cook now will fill out the room. While we imagine the No. 1 job in the committee is Singletary's to…read more

Scores again in playoff loss
Singletary rushed 10 times for 26 yards and a touchdown while adding four catches for 25 yards on five targets in Sunday's 42-36 overtime loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: SIngletary capped Buffalo's opening drive with his ninth scrimmage touchdown in the last six games. After Singletary's one-yard rushing score, the game turned into a passing battle between Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, with Mahomes coming out on top in thrilling fashion. Singletary grabbed hold of the lead role in Buffalo's backfield down the stretch, and the 2019 third-round pick out of FAU will likely pick up where he left off as the team's top running back next season.

Singletary rushed 16 times for 81 yards and two touchdowns and brought in three of four targets for 13 yards during the Bills' 47-17 win over the Patriots in an AFC wild-card matchup Saturday night.
Analysis: Josh Allen stole the show with 374 total yards and five scores in the blowout win, but Singletary capped off the other two of Buffalo's record-setting seven consecutive touchdown drives with a pair of visits to the end zone of his own. The third-year pro averaged an impressive 5.1 yards per carry, and his second scoring jaunt, a 16-yarder late in the second quarter, served as his longest run of the night.

Singletary rushed 12 times for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-21 win over the Patriots. He added five catches for 39 yards on six targets.

Singletary restored Buffalo's two-possession lead in the fourth quarter with a two-yard rushing touchdown, notably getting the call in close over Moss, who had been Buffalo's preferred short-yardage back earlier in the season.

Singletary ran for 86 yards and one touchdown on 22 carries against Carolina on Sunday. He also had one catch for 10 yards.
Analysis: With star quarterback Josh Allen managing a foot tweak, there was a lot of pressure for Singletary to step up against the Panthers and he answered the call. Allen sometimes struggled against Carolina's strong pass rush, but when the passing game went cold, Singletary often helped will the offense down the field and played a big role in Buffalo's ability to control the game despite their occasional struggles on offense.

Set to lead backfield again
Singletary's teammate Zack Moss will be a healthy inactive for the third time in four weeks Sunday.
Analysis: Singletary saw 83 percent of the offensive snaps and totaled 89 yards from scrimmage in the overtime loss to Tampa Bay last week with Moss out, even though he only had four rushing attempts. Expect Singletary to lead the Buffalo backfield once again, though the game script in Buffalo is all over the board from week to week. He could see more carries than usual -- certainly more than four -- with Moss out again and with running quarterback Josh Allen hobbled by a foot injury.

Analysis: The Bills barely bothered to run the ball in conventional fashion against the Buccaneers' nearly impenetrable front, with Josh Allen easily serving as the team's most productive performer on the ground. However, Singletary was able to rip off a 29-yard run and was highly efficient with his three other carries as well, leading to his best rushing yardage total since Week 4.

Sharing backfield with Breida
With teammate Zack Moss inactive Sunday, Singletary and Matt Breida are in line to head the Bills' backfield in Week 14 versus the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Given that Moss, who logged eight carries and three targets in the Bills' Week 13 loss to the Patriots, is out of the mix, both Singletary (10 carries versus New England) and Breida (one carry, one target) figure to see added touches Sunday, albeit while facing a rugged Tampa Bay run defense that has allowed an average of 84.3 yards per game on the ground to date.

Rushes 10 times
Singletary rushed 10 times for 36 yards in Monday night's 14-10 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Singletary led Buffalo's backfield in carries, but teammate Zack Moss returned to the lineup to match him in overall touches. Although Singletary managed three more scrimmage yards than Moss -- and both outperformed Matt Breida's eight yards on two touches -- none of the Bills' tailbacks were particularly effective amid predictable running conditions. While it was good to see Singletary lead the charge Monday, Buffalo's usual committee approach makes it hard to rely too much on him going into…read more

Clear lead back Thursday
Singletary rushed 15 times for 44 yards and brought in his only target for four yards in the Bills' 31-6 win over the Saints on Thursday night.
Analysis: With Zack Moss a healthy scratch, Singletary's only competition for carries among his fellow running backs came from Matt Breida. Singletary ultimately outpaced his teammate by six rushing touches during a contest in which game script turned favorably toward the run. The 15 carries were a season high for Singletary, who opened the season with double-digit rush attempts in his first four games before not hitting that mark again until Thursday. Whether the same backfield hierarchy applies in a…read more

Set to share backfield with Breida
With Zack Moss a healthy scratch for Thursday night's game against the Saints, Singletary and Matt Breida are in line to head the Bills' Week 12 backfield.
Analysis: Singletary still has Breida to contend with for touches Thursday, but minus Moss, he could see some added Week 12 opportunities against a New Orleans defense that has allowed an average of 89.8 rushing yards per game to date. While neither back profiles as a high-percentage lineup option, Singletary is worthy of consideration by those in need of RB help this week due to injuries or byes.

Turns six touches into 43 yards
Singletary rushed three times for 17 yards and caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 41-15 loss to Indianapolis.
Analysis: Singletary's 43 scrimmage yards landed him between Matt Breida (67) and Zack Moss (five). Buffalo's backfield was already frustrating enough with just Moss and Singletary splitting carries, but it appears Breida has now forced a three-way timeshare. All three Bills running backs will likely remain involved when the team takes the field in New Orleans on Thanksgiving.

Scores TD but so do other Bills RBs
Singletary rushed seven times for 43 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for six yards in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Singletary led the Bills in rushing yards, but his output was capped by sharing the load with Zack Moss (concussion) and Matt Breida. Moss also got seven carries and scored a touchdown, while Breida found paydirt on two of his six touches. All three members of Buffalo's backfield found success against a Jets defense that has been the most generous in the league to running backs, but the sledding will be tougher for Singletary and Co. in Week 11 against the Colts.

No monopoly on backfield
Singletary's teammate Zack Moss cleared the concussion protocols Saturday and is expected to suit up Sunday against the Jets.
Analysis: While the duo still gets a juicy matchup against the Jets' 27th-ranked run defense, Singletary hasn't been able to do much in any game where he shares the load with his young teammate. Singletary hasn't passed 100 rushing yards in any game since Moss was drafted last season, and he has just one scrimmage TD in 2021. What was looking like a great free-agent fantasy pickup early in the week has fallen back to a mediocre-at-best option, with the real hope being that the Bills take control of the…read more

Week 10 workload in flux
Singletary's teammate Zack Moss (concussion) returned to practice on a limited basis Thursday.
Analysis: Singletary has been a hot pickup all week due to the possibility that he could have the Buffalo backfield mostly to himself in Week 10 should Moss not get through all the protocols. The latter's status took an uptick with the limited session, however, as Moss still has time to clear the rest of the concussion protocols in time for Sunday's game. Singletary would be a good yardage play should Moss have to miss a game, though the former has not proven to be much of an option this season when…read more

Makes seven catches
Singletary ran for 16 yards on six carries while catching seven passes for 43 yards on eight targets against Jacksonville on Sunday.
Analysis: The Bills offense just couldn't get it going despite the favorable on-paper matchup against Jacksonville, but Singletary was one of the offense's few sources of occasional production. He had to take on a larger workload than usual after Zack Moss left with a concussion, so Moss's availability will be a crucial situation to monitor for Singletary's fantasy managers as they consider whether to start him against the Jets in Week 10. If Moss is out then it could prove a very favorable matchup for…read more

Remains No. 2 back Week 8
Singletary carried seven times for 28 yards and reeled in his lone target for a one-yard gain Sunday in the Bills' 26-11 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Though Singletary received the start and wasn't far behind Zack Moss (14) in terms of touches, the former trailed more significantly in snap share. Moss was on the field for 47 of the Bills' 73 offensive snaps (64 percent), while Singletary received 24 snaps (34 percent). Since being a surprise healthy scratch Week 1, Moss has now out-snapped Singletary in each of the Bills' last five games, a clear indication Buffalo views the former as its top option out of the backfield.

Singletary rushed five times for 27 yards and caught all five of his targets for 16 yards in Monday night's 34-31 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Singletary ripped off a 14-yard run on Buffalo's opening drive, but he wasn't featured much on the ground afterward, with both quarterback Josh Allen (nine carries) and fellow tailback Zack Moss (eight) rushing more often. Although Singletary actually still led the Bills in rushing yards and pitched in with a handful of catches, his overall production wasn't anything special. After rushing for at least 70 yards in three of his first four games this season, Singletary has now failed to top 30…read more

Worst output of season
Singletary had just six carries for 25 yards and caught one of two targets for minus-2 yards during Sunday night's win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Singletary started the year hot but is starting to take a backseat to Zack Moss, who's heating up and out-snapped Singletary, 42-15, on Sunday. With so many weapons in the Buffalo offense and Singletary at best sharing work with Moss in a pass-heavy offense, he's tough to put in a starting lineup until something changes.

Bounces back against Texans
Singletary recorded 14 rushes for 79 yards in Sunday's Week 4 win over the Texans. He added one reception for seven yards.
Analysis: Singletary split carries exactly evenly with Zack Moss, and he outgained Moss by 18 yards. Though he managed only two runs of 10 or more yards, Singletary regularly picked up chunk gains to help the Buffalo offense stay on schedule. Singletary has now earned double-digit touches in every game, and both he and Moss seem to be settling into roughly a 15-touch role per game.

Takes backseat in Week 3
Singletary rushed 11 times for 26 yards and caught one of his two targets for zero yards during Sunday's 43-21 win over Washington.
Analysis: Singletary had been off to a hot start, totaling 29 touches for 171 yards and one touchdown through the first two weeks of the season. The 23-year-old still saw his usual touch total, but he was outpaced by Zack Moss in Week 3. Moss totaled 16 touches for 91 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's win. Now, it isn't clear if this division of work was due to Moss having the hot hand or if it was because of the large lead that Buffalo held.

Singletary rushed 13 times for 82 yards and a touchdown to go with two catches for nine yards on three targets in Sunday's 35-0 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Singletary took Buffalo's second offensive play 46 yards to the house and led the team in rushing for the second consecutive week to open the season. He shared the backfield with Zack Moss, who scored two touchdowns in his return after being scratched last week.

Posts 80 total yards in loss
Singletary rushed 11 times for 72 yards and brought in three of five targets for eight yards in the Bills' 23-16 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: With Zack Moss a surprise inactive, Singletary was theoretically in line for a heavy workload. While that ultimately didn't materialize, the third-year back did finish with an efficient rushing day overall that was highlighted by a late 25-yard run. Singletary's three receptions were a nice fantasy bonus despite the fact they didn't go for much yardage, and he'll look for even better production in a Week 2 road battle against the Dolphins.

In line to be No. 1 back
Singletary is in line to serve as the No. 1 back in Buffalo against the Steelers in Week 1, as presumed backup Zack Moss is listed as inactive for the contest.
Analysis: Singletary has received nothing but praise throughout training camp, but most fantasy circles presumed some type of timeshare with Moss would be in play for much of the 2021 campaign. With Moss a healthy scratch in Week 1, Matt Breida is now the presumed backup with Singletary potentially in line for a lion's share of the backfield work. He and the Bills will take on a Pittsburgh defense that ranked 11th against the run in the 2020 season.

Enters season in great shape
Coach Sean McDermott told Ashly Holder of WGRZ this week that Singletary looks great entering this season. "He's got burst to him this year, pass protection is on point and every time he touches the ball he makes something happen," said the coach.
Analysis: It's not like McDermott is going to say bad things about his running back, but Singletary is coming off a strong preseason that followed a productive offseason, where teammates and the coaching staff have continually stated how strong and sharp he looks. He'll enter the season as the No. 1 running back in a high-powered offense, though it always comes with the caveat that it's hard to picture him getting into the end zone a ton considering that's a role more played by Josh Allen and Zack Moss…read more

Singletary started Saturday's preseason game against Green Bay and caught both of his targets for eight yards.
Analysis: Singletary caught a pass for one yard on the first snap of the game and appeared to get most of the playing time with the first-team offense, but he finished without any carries as the Bills unleashed QB Josh Allen for 26 pass attempts on three drives. Matt Breida and Zack Moss also got snaps while Allen was in the game, with the latter taking four carries for 10 yards and hauling in his lone target for a three-yard touchdown.

Singletary carried the ball twice for 21 yards and a touchdown and added one reception for five yards in Saturday's preseason game against Chicago.
Analysis: Singletary got all of his work on the team's first two drives and was particularly effective on the ground. He took his first carry for seven yards and then ripped of a 14-yard rush to the end zone to cap the team's first drive. Singletary has scored a touchdown in each the Bills' first two preseason games, which is notable given that he's scored only four touchdowns on the ground between his first two seasons in the league combined.

Singletary rushed eight times for 42 yards and caught a six-yard touchdown on his only target in Friday's 16-15 preseason win over the Lions.
Analysis: Singletary got the starting nod with Zack Moss (hamstring) sidelined, but the two are likely to work in a backfield platoon when both are healthy. Singletary was undeterred after having a 15-yard gain erased by a holding call on Buffalo's first offensive play, racking up 21 yards on his next two carries.

Singletary is currently listed as the No. 1 running back on Buffalo's unofficial depth chart.
Analysis: Singletary's placement atop the depth chart is expected, given that he has more NFL experience and is currently healthier than Zack Moss (hamstring). Nonetheless, the news is a good reminder that Singletary has engendered some positive vibes this summer, while Moss continues to struggle on the health front. Of course, Singletary simply doesn't have the size or speed in hitting the hole to be much of a goal-line factor in any scenario, so the best hope for his fantasy outlook is that he earns as…read more

In great shape
Singletary appears to be in excellent shape during the first few days of training camp after working on strength and speed throughout the offseason, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Said coach Sean McDermott, "I'm seeing a young man now that has taken the offseason and attacked it head on. He's in a great spot physically, it looks like at this point. I'm anxious to see him out here but what I saw towards the tail end of the spring, I was impressed with the areas that he was trying to be intentional about working on his weaknesses. And I think that says a lot about the young man."
Analysis: The third-year back has had his ups and downs during his first two seasons, and if there's one knock on Singletary it's that he's lacked an extra burst once breaking through the line of scrimmage. It appears he's committed to changing that, though it's also worth noting that Zack Moss, Singletary's competition for carries, seems to be quickly moving past his offseason ankle surgery. We'll add a final reminder that quarterback Josh Allen has a nose for scoring rushing touchdowns, with 25 of them…read more

Role could change weekly
Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll has stated that he'll go with the hot hand when assigning playing time between Singletary and Zack Moss, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports. "Whoever's back there is playing good," Daboll said. "Sometimes that happens. Let's say you're in a game and you just get a sense one guy's got it going a little bit more than the other guy and that's the guy you ride with a little bit."
Analysis: Singletary is reportedly in fantastic shape following an offseason of hard work, while Moss is coming off offseason ankle surgery but expects to be close to 100 percent for training camp. It's anyone's guess as to whether Singletary or Moss will provide the better value in 2021. Moss is a much bigger back than his teammate and has the ability to earn more between-the-tackle and goal-line runs, while Singletary has more experience, isn't coming off an injury, and has apparently used the…read more

Gains speed this offseason?
Singletary says he's gained a bit of extra speed this offseason after working with a personal trainer in South Florida, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports. Said trainer Nick Hicks: "We didn't sit there and try to make him into 100 meter sprinter. We just tried to make him, I guess two-tenths, three-tenths faster than what he what he what he was coming back in. We literally left no stone unturned this offseason, so yes he's going to be way faster, way more explosive than the Devin Singletary you guys are used to. Motor's got a motor now."
Analysis: Singletary, while shifty and excellent in small spaces, has really lacked breakaway speed as an NFL running back (he ran a 4.66 40 at the combine a few years ago), so even if the story is a bit overblown this can only be a good thing for the third-year running back. The Florida Atlantic product will be competing in camp with Zack Moss and newcomer Matt Breida for carries, though between perhaps the hint of extra speed to go with the fact that Moss still isn't able to practice following ankle…read more

Competition remains as-is
The Bills did not select a running back with any of their eight selections in the 2021 NFL Draft to compete with Singletary and others for playing time.
Analysis: Buffalo, picking near the end of the first round, never had a chance at Najee Harris or Travis Etienne, nor are we sure the team would have even chosen a running back had it had the chance. As it stands, Singletary is still at the top of the Bills' depth chart, but none of the options have the look of a feature back at this stage of their careers, and he'll compete with Zack Moss and newcomer Matt Breida -- plus anyone else the team might bring in -- to try to garner his share of the playing…read more

Analysis: Singletary received the opportunity to work as the Bills' lead man out of the backfield for the team's final two playoff games while Zack Moss (ankle) was sidelined, but the Florida Atlantic product was mainly an afterthought in Buffalo's pass-happy offense.

However, he was expected to experience an uptick in offensive usage with backfield mate Zack Moss (ankle) moved to IR on Tuesday. That didn't turn out to be the case, necessarily.

Ticketed for more work
With Zack Moss (ankle) expected to miss the rest of the playoffs, Singletary is set for the lead role in Buffalo's backfield, USA Today's Bradley Gelber reports.
Analysis: Moss and Singletary worked in a 50/50 split for most of the season, apart from Weeks 3-5 when the rookie was out with a toe injury. Singletary handled 89, 89 and 63 percent of offensive snaps in those three games, averaging 14.0 carries for 50.7 yards and 0.33 TDs, plus 3.3 catches for 26.3 yards on 4.0 targets. The Bills could turn to Singletary in an every-down role again, but they also might let T.J. Yeldon and/or Taiwan Jones handle some snaps this Saturday against the Ravens.

In comparison, running mate Zack Moss rushed 10 times for 57 yards and a touchdown and caught one pass for no yards. Given Buffalo's backfield rotation, Singletary's weekly upside remains capped to a degree, but with double-digit touches in now four of his last five games, Singletary's usage is enough to warrant reasonable value ahead of Sunday's season finale versus the Dolphins, a game in which the Bills may put…read more

Analysis: Both Singletary and Zack Moss (nine carries for 59 yards) were effective on the ground, but quarterback Josh Allen scored Buffalo's lone rushing touchdown.

With the team headed into its bye week, Sean McDermott and the coaching staff will get some extra time to figure out how to spark a backfield that has seen a running back top 50 rushing yards only once in the last five games.

Buffalo's first four offensive plays were handoffs to Singletary, and the fifth was a pass to the second-year running back.

Analysis: Singletary had eight carries and five targets to Zack Moss's seven carries and three targets, but the latter finished with a 72-47 edge in scrimmage yards. Considering both running backs already cede a large chunk of Buffalo's rushing workload to quarterback Josh Allen -- who led the team with 11 carries for 61 yards in this one -- Singletary can ill afford to be outplayed by Moss.

Singletary rushed 11 times for 25 yards and caught his lone target for eight yards in Tuesday's 42-16 loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: Singletary was held to a season-low yardage total on the ground, despite serving as the lead back with Zack Moss (toe) inactive for a third consecutive game. Veteran backup T.J. Yeldon ended up outplaying Singletary, with 52 rushing yards on seven carries and a receiving touchdown. The Bills' next opponent is a Chiefs team that has been vulnerable on the ground, but Singletary will face competition for carries, especially if Moss is able to return.

Scores TD vs. Raiders
Singletary carried 18 times for 55 yards and a touchdown while catching five of six targets for another 21 yards during Sunday's 30-23 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Singletary managed just 3.1 yards per carry and received a season-high 18 totes with rookie Zack Moss (toe) out of action. He totaled just 76 yards on 23 total touches but salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective with a two-yard touchdown plunge in the fourth quarter. Singletary seems to have earned a starring role in the Buffalo backfield for the time being, but the team would surely like to see him do more with his looks next Sunday against the Titans.

Teammate sidelined
Singletary's teammate Zack Moss is inactive for Sunday's game in Las Vegas.
Analysis: While T.J. Yeldon will suit up, Moss not being out there leaves Singletary as the bell-cow back for another game. Singletary didn't score last week -- in fact, no Bills running back has rushed for a touchdown since Week 9 of last season -- but he did post 121 yards from scrimmage. Expect the second-year man to be plenty involved in both sides of the offense today.

Tops 100 scrimmage yards
Singletary rushed 13 times for 71 yards and caught four of five targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 35-32 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Singletary carried the rushing load with Zack Moss (toe) out, as T.J. Yeldon (three carries for 18 yards) was the only other running back to touch the ball for the Bills. Singletary failed to get into the end zone on a direct snap from the one-yard line in the first quarter and ended up watching quarterback Josh Allen account for five touchdowns from inside the five-yard line, but Singletary's 121 scrimmage yards were eight shy of his combined total from Weeks 1 and 2. While his lack of usage…read more

Should see more work in Week 3
With Zack Moss (toe) out this week, Singletary should see added carries Sunday against the Rams.
Analysis: Through the Bills' first two games, Singletary logged 19 rushing attempts for 86 yards while adding seven catches on 10 targets for 43 yards. In that span, Moss carried 17 times for 48 yards and caught three of his four targets for 16 yards and a TD. With Moss unavailable this weekend, Singletary should see the bulk of Buffalo's backfield work versus Los Angeles, with T.J. Yeldon a candidate to be active for the first time this season and see some change-of-pace action. Though the Rams are 2-0,…read more

Paces backfield in Week 2 win
Singletary rushed 10 times for 56 yards and brought in two of three targets for 20 yards in the Bills' 31-28 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: While the Bills backfield situation continues to be a fantasy quagmire, Singletary at least slightly outpaced rookie Zack Moss in rushes during Sunday's contest and also saw two receiving touches to his teammate's none. Singletary also was the more efficient back with 5.6 yards per carry, though Moss's 4.6 figure wasn't disappointing by any stretch. The good news for both backs is that it appears it's them or bust when it comes to Buffalo's ground game, but whether Singletary can do enough to…read more

Quiet in Week 1 win
Singletary rushed nine times for 30 yards and added five catches for 23 yards on seven targets in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Singletary was bottled up by the Jets, but so was Zack Moss (nine carries for 11 yards). Moss made up for his lack of rushing production with a four-yard receiving touchdown, while quarterback Josh Allen scored the team's lone rushing touchdown and led in both carries (14) and rushing yards (57). Singletary still has time to carve out a larger role in the crowded Buffalo backfield (given Allen's propensity to run the ball), but the second-year back will need a better performance in Week 2…read more

Facing uncertain backfield split
It still isn't clear how the Bills' backfield workload will be split between Singletary and Zack Moss, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic.
Analysis: Singletary was an effective runner throughout his rookie season and showed development as a receiving threat late in the year, but he also fumbled four times and apparently wasn't consistent in pass protection. The 223-pound Moss is a better bet to handle short-yardage work, but Singletary still figures to be the nominal starter and quite possibly the lead runner. Reports of fumbling issues at camp were probably overblown, as it was only two instances through seven practices, and we haven't…read more

Fumbling in practice
Singletary has fumbled twice through seven padded practices, Matthew Fairburn and Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: We shouldn't jump to conclusions based on a small sample from practice, but this is at least worth making a note of once Singletary's recent history -- four fumbles last year -- is taken into account. On the other hand, he fumbled only five times on 765 touches at Florida Atlantic, with none of those coming in his final season. Even so, any struggles could encourage the Bills to give more work to third-round rookie Zack Moss, who has yet to fumble in practice and seems to be making a strong…read more

Doesn't show out Thursday
Singletary had a tough practice Thursday, getting bottled up on runs between the tackles and even fumbling one time, Joe Buscaglia and Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, rookie third-round pick Zack Moss thoroughly impressed, showing great vision and finishing explosive runs with his physicality. Moss has two inches and 20 pounds on the 5-foot-7, 203-pound Singletary, which could inhibit the latter from getting some early down work in 2020. In particular, though, Singletary's ball-control issues reared their head again. Last season, he was tied for second in the NFL with four fumbles, averaging one every 45 touches. With Moss swapping in for Frank…read more

New competition selected
Singletary could be in for some competition for carries in 2020 after the Bills selected Utah's Zack Moss in the third round Friday.
Analysis: For Singletary's sake, we suppose that's better than the team bringing in a top free agent such as Todd Gurley, but Moss was a top-five running back in several prospect rankings and he'll pose a serious threat for carries if he gets his career off to a good start. That said, Singletary did nothing but shine after passing Frank Gore on the depth chart last season, and with perhaps a shortened summer for Moss to get up to speed with his new team, Singletary should still head into the season as…read more

Goes over 100 total yards
Singletary rushed 13 times for 58 yards and caught six passes for a team-high 76 yards in Saturday's 22-19 overtime playoff loss to Houston.
Analysis: Singletary was the Bills' top offensive weapon aside from quarterback Josh Allen in this one, finding plenty of room to operate on the ground and as a receiver against the Texans' porous defense. The third-round draft pick finished the regular season with 775 yards and two touchdowns, but most of his numbers came in the second half of the season, when he tallied 603 rushing yards over the final eight games as the team's lead back. Singletary's 5.1 yards per carry were tops amongst qualified…read more

Bottled up by Patriots
Singletary rushed 15 times for 46 yards in the team's Week 16 loss to the Patriots. He also added one reception for two yards.
Analysis: Despite Frank Gore not recording a touch for the first time this season, Singletary was limited as the Bills possessed the ball for just 21 minutes. Even when he did get touches, Singletary averaged only 3.1 yards per carry, with his longest gain going for 12 yards. Though Singletary has shown flashes as a receiver throughout his rookie campaign, he was lightly used through the air for the second consecutive week. He'll look to end the season on a stronger note as the Bills take on the Jets in…read more

Receives 21 carries
Singletary rushed 21 times for 87 yards and caught both of his targets for two yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Singletary led the Bills' backfield in carries by a decent margin for consecutive weeks, firmly cementing his starting role after playing under the shadow of veteran Frank Gore for the first half of the season. The rookie has displayed big-play ability all year, falling below a 4.0 yards per carry mark just once (Week 7 against Miami). Singletary will face a tough matchup against the Patriots' stout run defense next week, so his ceiling may be a bit lower than in recent weeks. It's worth noting…read more

Piles up 118 scrimmage yards
Singletary carried 17 times for 89 yards and caught six of eight targets for an additional 29 yards during Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Facing a tough Baltimore defense, Singletary averaged a respectable 5.2 yards per carry while breaking off a long gain of 38 yards. He also tied for the team lead in targets and set a new career high for receptions, though his mark of 4.8 yards per catch wasn't particularly impressive. Singletary has now topped 100 scrimmage yards in three consecutive games and will look to continue his recent success next Sunday against the Steelers.

Tops 100 scrimmage yards again
Singletary carried the ball 14 times for 63 yards while catching three of four targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 26-15 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: His TD came on a nifty trick play that saw wide receiver John Brown toss a strike to a wide-open Singletary, who trotted into the end zone for a 28-yard score. The rookie RB took awhile to earn the trust of the Bills' coaching staff, but over the last five games he's piled up 484 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns, decisively supplanting Frank Gore at the top of the depth chart.

Tallies 114 yards in win
Singletary ran for 106 yards on 21 carries and added an eight-yard catch during Sunday's 20-3 win over Denver.
Analysis: The Broncos came into Sunday as one of the stingier run defenses in the league over the past month or so, but Singletary plugged away for his first career 100-yard rushing performance. The rookie has been magnificent moving the chains this season, averaging 5.9 yards per carry despite just five carries of over 20 yards and none of 25 or more yards this season. His role is continuing to increase, with at least 16 touches in three of his last four games, and he should be counted on Thursday…read more

Picks up 79 yards in win
Singletary ran for 75 yards on 15 carries and added a four-yard catch during Sunday's 37-20 win over Miami. He fumbled twice, but both were recovered by the offense.
Analysis: The rookie had a pair of big runs Sunday, including a 25-yard dash through the defense late in the first half to set up a touchdown. Singletary cut through Miami's front and turned on the jets before fumbling on a play that was recovered by his teammate. Sunday's fumbles were the first two of his career and so there shouldn't be too much concern as he he builds a stronger hold on the lead back job. Over the past four games, Singletary has 46 carries to Frank Gore's 36 and has done far more…read more

Produces with limited usage
Singletary carried eight times for 42 yards and caught three passes for an additional eight yards during Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Although Singletary gashed the Cleveland defense for 5.3 yards per carry, his team took an uncharacteristically pass-heavy approach, which limited his usage on the ground. He finished second on the team with seven targets, but he struggled to connect with Josh Allen on several occasions and finished with little to show for his efforts in that area. Singletary did significant damage on 23 touches in his previous outing and could rebound next Sunday in a favorable matchup with the Dolphins.

Stays hot in win over Washington
Singletary ran for 95 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries, while hauling in three of four targets for 45 receiving yards during Sunday's 24-9 win against the Redskins.
Analysis: After amassing 127 rushing yards and a touchdown through Buffalo's first two games of the year, Singletary was beleaguered by a hamstring injury and deemed unavailable to play between Weeks 3 and 6. Since returning Week 7 against Miami, the rookie third-round draft choice has resumed his strong debut campaign, averaging an impressive 4.7 yards per carry over the past three weeks while adding seven receptions for 75 yards. What is most encouraging in regards to his fantasy outlook is the massive…read more
