Leading rusher on MNF
Singletary rushed 12 times for 68 yards and a touchdown while adding three receptions (on three targets) for 34 yards in Monday's 33-15 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Singletary made his mark on Monday Night Football when he lined up in the Wildcat formation and ripped off a 22-yard score on the first play of the fourth quarter. The 27-year-old finished as the game's leading rusher a week after being overshadowed by backfield mate Tyrone Tracy. The latter finished with 33 net yards on 11 touches Monday, but Tracy also left the game in the fourth quarter with a hip injury and didn't return. Singletary has quietly entered the mix as a flex option in standard…read more

Outplayed by Tracy in Week 12
Singletary rushed 14 times for 47 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 34-27 overtime loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Singletary had 14 touches to Tyrone Tracy's 23. Tracy churned out 130 scrimmage yards and has pulled away from Singletary as the busier and more effective part of the Giants' running back platoon. It won't show up on the stat sheet, but Singletary also touched the ball on Wan'Dale Robinson's 39-yard touchdown catch on the opening drive, tossing the ball back to Jameis Winston on a flea flicker. Whether the Giants get Jaxson Dart (concussion) back or give Winston a third straight start under…read more

Records pair of rush TDs in loss
Singletary rushed 16 times for 44 yards and two touchdowns and brought in his only target for three yards in the Giants' 27-20 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: Singletary wasn't efficient on the ground, but he made up for the modest yardage with five- and two-yard touchdown runs in the first half. The veteran back logged just three fewer carries than Tyrone Tracy, but the latter managed to double up Singletary in rushing yardage and also contributed 51 receiving yards. Consequently, Singletary projects to continue serving in a No. 2 role during a Week 12 road matchup against the Lions.

Gets 11 touches in Week 10
Singletary rushed eight times for 20 yards and caught all three of his targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Singletary ceded most of the rushing workload to Tyrone Tracy (14 carries for 71 yards), but the former finished with a two-yard advantage in scrimmage yards (73 to 71). Most of Singletary's yardage came on a 41-yard catch on a fourth-quarter pass from Russell Wilson, who came into the game after Jaxson Dart suffered a concussion in the second half. Singletary should continue to platoon with Tracy, but expectations for the Giants' offense would be low if Dart doesn't play in Week 11 against the…read more

Leads Giants RBs with 10 touches
Singletary rushed eight times for 43 yards and caught both of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Singletary outplayed Tyrone Tracy in the first game after Cam Skattebo's season-ending ankle injury. Tracy turned five carries and four targets into 37 scrimmage yards. The Giants' only rushing touchdown of the game was scored by Jaxson Dart, who also led the team with 56 rushing yards. The rookie quarterback will likely remain involved in the rushing attack against the Bears in Week 10, but Singletary and Tracy both look poised to maintain significant roles while splitting carries in the…read more

Likely to move into larger role
Singletary appears likely to serve as the Giants' No. 2 running back moving forward after starter Cam Skattebo suffered a season-ending ankle dislocation in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Eagles, Art Stapleton of NJ.com reports.
Analysis: Skattebo's injury will likely thrust Tyrone Tracy back into the No. 1 role, while Singletary should settle in as Tracy's backup. The Giants also seem likely to add another tailback to the 53-man roster, which could mean that Dante Miller will get elevated or signed off the team's practice squad. After Skattebo was hurt in the second quarter Sunday, Tracy logged seven carries and drew two targets on a 64 percent offensive snap share while Singletary tallied two carries and one target on a 19…read more

Continues to have minor role
Singletary rushed twice for two yards in Sunday's 33-32 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Despite the fact that New York entered the fourth quarter having built a 19-0 lead, Singletary continued to spend almost the entire game on the bench. His two carries came on consecutive plays late in the second quarter, and he logged just one additional offensive snap in the contest. The veteran running back got some extra looks when Tyrone Tracy was sidelined with an injury in Weeks 4 and 5 (and for part of Week 3), but while Tracy and No. 1 back Cam Skattebo are healthy, Singletary will be…read more

Gets limited looks in Week 6 win
Singletary rushed three times for 10 yards and didn't log any receiving targets in Thursday's 34-17 win against Philadelphia.
Analysis: Singletary continued to get a bit of work even with the return of Tyrone Tracy to New York's backfield, but neither Singletary nor Tracy did anything of note. Meanwhile, rookie Cam Skattebo continued to cement his status as the team's workhorse back with 19 carries for 98 yards and three touchdowns along with two catches for 12 yards. Skattebo was on the field for 71 percent of the Giants' offensive plays, followed by Tracy at 30 percent and Singletary at a modest six percent (four total…read more

Held in check Sunday
Singletary rushed six times for 20 yards and caught one of two targets for four yards in a Week 5 loss to New Orleans on Sunday.
Analysis: For the second straight week, Singletary worked as New York's No. 2 RB behind Cam Skattebo. That role didn't yield much production for the veteran ball carrier, however, as he totaled a modest 24 yards on seven touches. Singletary's six carries and 20 rushing yards were actually third on the Giants -- Skattebo ran 15 times for 59 yards, while QB Jaxson Dart rushed seven times for 55 yards -- though no other tailback on the team took an offensive snap. Singletary's time as Skattebo's backup may…read more

Runs for 28 yards in Week 4 win
Singletary rushed seven times for 28 yards and was not targeted in Sunday's 21-18 victory versus the Chargers.
Analysis: With Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) sidelined, Singletary was the only Giants RB other than Cam Skattebo to get action on offense. While Skattebo was deployed as the clear lead back -- he logged 57 offensive snaps to Singletary's 19 -- the latter finished with season-high marks in both touches and yards. Singletary remains an unappealing fantasy asset in most formats, but he figures to continue seeing a slight uptick in usage for as long as Tracy is unable to suit up.

In line for increased role
Tyrone Tracy is slated to miss time after dislocating his shoulder in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, so Singletary likely will move up to the Giants' No. 2 RB role.
Analysis: It's unclear at this point how long Tracy will be sidelined, but it's likely that he'll miss at least next Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Chargers, and there's a very real possibility that he'll be sidelined beyond that contest as well. Rookie Cam Skattebo was impressive in racking up 121 yards from scrimmage (60 rushing and 61 receiving) while taking on the bulk of the backfield work Sunday night, and he's the obvious choice to move up to the RB1 role while Tracy is sidelined (and…read more

Nets zero yards in minor role
Singletary rushed once for four yards and caught his only target for minus-4 yards in Sunday's Week 2 overtime loss to Dallas.
Analysis: In a significant development for Singletary's role on offense, rookie Cam Skattebo led New York with 11 carries and 45 rushing yards while starter Tyrone Tracy netted 51 yards on nine touches (five rushes and four receptions). Skattebo's effectiveness Sunday will likely earn him more work going forward, while Tracy isn't likely to be phased out of the offense, especially given his skill set as a receiver. That presumably leaves Singletary to fend for scraps, diminishing what was already minimal…read more

Nets only nine yards in opener
Singletary rushed three times for nine yards in Sunday's Week 1 loss to Washington.
Analysis: Singletary didn't get his first carry until the second quarter. He gained eight yards on his second rush attempt but combined for just one yard on his other two carries. Tyrone Tracy was New York's clear lead back with 50 offensive snaps Sunday, while Singletary got 10 and rookie Cam Skattebo logged eight. Both Tracy and Skattebo gathered two catches in the passing game while Singletary didn't even get targeted, so among the trio, Singletary emerged with the least encouraging performance. The…read more

Scores TD in exhibition
Singletary rushed two times for five yards and one touchdown in the Giants' 31-12 exhibition win over the Jets on Saturday.
Analysis: After Tyrone Tracy was stuffed on his goal-line carry from the one-yard line in the first quarter, Singletary came on for the next play and cashed in the short touchdown. Singletary turns 28 years old next month and averaged a career-low 3.9 yards per carry last season. He's competing for the likely RB3 role in New York behind Tracy and rookie Cam Skattebo (hamstring), though Skattebo has missed both preseason games and multiple practices this month.

Valued as veteran presence
Singletary is likely to remain on the Giants' roster despite Tyrone Tracy's role as the primary ball carrier and the addition of Cam Skattebo in the 2025 NFL Draft, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: Tracy and Skattebo provide promise as a young and talented one-two punch, which could lead to Singletary taking on a reduced role in New York's offense. However, the veteran still appears to be a lock for the roster, both because his experience is valued on and off the field and, perhaps more importantly, because the Giants wouldn't gain any cap savings if they were to release him. After signing a three-year, $16.5 million contract with New York in March of 2024, Singletary ceded lead…read more

Unproductive in season finale
Singletary carried seven times for 22 yards and caught his only target for a five-yard loss in Sunday's 20-13 Week 18 loss against the Eagles. He concluded the campaign with 113 rushes for 437 yards and four touchdowns along with 21 receptions (on 24 targets) for 119 yards over 15 games.
Analysis: As has been the case for the majority of the campaign, Singletary worked well behind rookie RB Tyrone Tracy, who logged a 60 percent offensive snap share to the veteran's 30 percent mark. Singletary was brought in during the offseason to potentially serve as a workhorse back after the departure of Saquon Barkley to Philadelphia, but Singletary didn't log double-digit carries in any game after Week 4 and tallied 30 or fewer total yards in six of his final seven contests. Instead, it was Tracy…read more

Tallies 30 total yards in Week 17
Singletary rushed five times for 21 yards and caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 45-33 victory over Indianapolis.
Analysis: Singletary once again worked well behind rookie Tyrone Tracy, who out-touched the veteran back 22-6. Singletary was mostly bottled up on his five carries, with the exception being a 13-yard rush in the second quarter. The 27-year-old has logged 25 or fewer rushing yards in each of his past six contests, giving him a low ceiling heading into next weekend's season finale versus Philadelphia.

Gets just four carries in Week 16
Singletary rushed four times for 12 yards and didn't collect a target in Sunday's 34-7 loss to Atlanta.
Analysis: The Giants went with a pass-heavy approach in the contest, especially after falling behind in the second quarter, and had only 13 rushing attempts as a team while Drew Lock threw 39 passes. As a result, Tyrone Tracy's modest seven carries paced the squad, and Singletary finished with fewer than five totes for the third time in five games. Given the sorry state of New York's offense and Tracy's emergence as the lead back, Singletary's fantasy relevance rests almost entirely on his chances of…read more

Scores fourth rushing TD in loss
Singletary rushed eight times for 25 yards and secured all three targets for 16 yards in the Giants' 35-14 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: Singletary tied his highest carry total since Week 4, the last game in which he was still considered the lead back before Tyrone Tracy usurped him for the role. Singletary logged only two fewer carries than his backfield mate Sunday, and his two-yard rushing touchdown late in the first half was his fourth of the campaign. The veteran back should retain a solid complementary role at minimum in a Week 16 road matchup against the vulnerable Falcons defense.

Tallies season-low two touches
Singletary carried twice for eight yards and didn't receive a passing target in Sunday's 14-11 Week 14 loss to New Orleans.
Analysis: Singletary opened the campaign as New York's starting running back, but he's since given way to rookie Tyrone Tracy in the backfield. Tracy carried 16 times Sunday and was targeted 10 times, while Singletary was barely heard from with his two rushes, which went for four yards apiece. Given his increasingly limited opportunities, Singletary would likely need Tracy to miss time in order to be a viable fantasy asset again, even in deeper leagues.

Gets seven rushes in Week 13
Singletary had seven carries for 23 yards and didn't haul in his only target during Thursday's 27-20 loss at Dallas.
Analysis: Singletary started the game and earned the first two carries on the Giants' initial possession, perhaps due to Tyrone Tracy having lost fumbles in both of the previous two contests, but the former's last touch occurred late in the first half while the latter finished it out as the team's main RB en route to 11 touches for 65 yards from scrimmage and a rushing TD. Singletary has remained a part of the offense since sitting out Weeks 5 and 6 due to a groin strain, but he's averaging just 6.2…read more

Scores team's only TD in big loss
Singletary rushed twice for three yards and a touchdown while bringing in both of his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 30-7 Week 12 loss to Tampa Bay.
Analysis: The entire Giants offense struggled Sunday in its first game this season under the guidance of quarterback Tommy DeVito, and game script led to just 20 total New York rushing attempts in the contest. Rookie Tyrone Tracy continued to receive the bulk of the backfield work with nine carries for an efficient 42 yards, but it was Singletary who recorded the team's only score on a one-yard plunge into the end zone early in the fourth quarter. That opportunity came with Tracy briefly benched due to…read more

Works as backup again
Singletary rushed the ball eight times for 40 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Panthers. He added one reception on one target for five yards.
Analysis: Singletary remained the clear backup to Tyrone Tracy, though his eight carries were his highest mark since returning from a groin injury in Week 7. He was fairly effective with his opportunity, ripping off significant gains of nine and 14 yards. Tracy lost a key fumble in the loss but was otherwise impressive, so Singletary is likely to continue to serve in a limited role moving forward.

Gets seven carries to Tracy's 16
Singletary rushed seven times for 33 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Tyrone Tracy cleared concussion protocol Friday and reprised his role as the Giants' lead back, limiting Singletary to a change-of-pace role. New York's running game is well positioned for success in Week 10 against the generous Panthers defense in Germany, but Singletary will likely continue to cede the majority of carries to Tracy.

Minimal role again Monday
Singletary rushed twice for 11 yards and secured two of three targets for 12 yards in the Giants' 26-18 loss to the Steelers on Monday night.
Analysis: As his scant workload indicates, Singletary took a clear back seat to rookie Tyrone Tracy (head), who excelled with 145 rushing yards and a touchdown on 20 carries despite exiting the game twice with injuries. Singletary saw only five carries in his Week 7 return from a groin injury after Tracy impressed during the former's two-game absence, and unless the head injury that forced Tracy's second and final exit from the game Monday lingers into Week 9, the minimal role for the veteran back should…read more

Sees little action in return
Singletary carried the ball five times for 18 yards and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: After missing the last two weeks due to a groin strain, Singletary saw little action in his return, but that was largely due to game script. Tyrone Tracy was only slightly busier out of the backfield, turning nine touches into 32 scrimmage yards. It's impossible to draw any conclusions on the New York backfield situation given the nature of Sunday's rout, but Singletary seems headed for a timeshare with Tracy given the rookie's success in his absence. However, both backs could struggle again in…read more

Cleared from injury report
Singletary (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: Singletary will return from a two-game absence but makes for a risky fantasy play after coach Brian Daboll said Friday that Tyrone Tracy has earned a larger role going forward. Daboll also said he wants to keep an eye on Singletary this Sunday, and the veteran RB never quite progressed to full practice participation, instead logging limited sessions Wednesday through Friday, per Leonard.

Analysis: The groin injury is a new concern for Singletary, though Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News relays that the running back ran on Monday, and the issue isn't considered a long-term concern. Still, Singletary now has just two more chances to get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's road matchup in Seattle.

Stymied by Cowboys in loss
Singletary rushed 14 times for 24 yards and brought in his only target for 14 yards in the Giants' 20-15 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday night.
Analysis: Singletary's 1.7 yards-per-carry average underscores the brick wall he ran into the majority of the night. The veteran back's yardage total was his lowest of the season by far, and it came on the heels of a two-game stretch where he accumulated 160 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries alongside a 5-43-0 receiving line. Singletary's first opportunity to bounce back from the season-worst performance comes in a Week 5 road matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 6.

Nearly reaches century mark in loss
Singletary carried the ball 16 times for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Commanders. He also caught his only target for zero yards.
Analysis: The veteran running back scored his first TD as a Giant late in the first quarter on a seven-yard run. Singletary has dominated the backfield touches for New York through the first two weeks of the year -- Tyrone Tracy was the only other RB to see the ball, taking one carry for two yards -- and while the team's offense as a whole hasn't been particularly effective so far, that volume does give him a solid fantasy floor. Singletary will look to put together another strong effort in Week 3…read more

Gets 14 touches in Week 1 loss
Singletary rushed 10 times for 37 yards and caught four of five targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Singletary worked as the lead back in his Giants debut, getting 14 touches while Eric Gray and Tyrone Tracy combined for just six. He's a noticeable downgrade in the backfield from Saquon Barkley, who accounted for 10 of New York's 25 offensive touchdowns last season and scored three in his Eagles debut Friday. Singletary's a near-lock for double-digit touches on a weekly basis, but getting into scoring range looks like it will be a slog for the Giants, who will face the Commanders in Week 2…read more

Finds paydirt in preseason loss
Singletary carried the ball 10 times for 20 yards and a touchdown and failed to catch his only target in Saturday's 28-10 preseason loss to the Texans.
Analysis: The Giants' first-team offense played the entire first half, but Singletary wasn't able to gain much yardage against a stout Texans front seven. The veteran back did manage to punch in a one-yard touchdown in the second quarter, however. He's set to begin the season as the Giants' top option in the backfield, and with rookie Tyrone Tracy (ankle) potentially on the shelf for Week 1, Singletary could wind up seeing more work as a receiver than anticipated early in the year. His experience in…read more

Likely to play Saturday
The Giants' healthy starters, a group that includes Singletary, are expected to play about a half in Saturday's preseason game against the Texans, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It is possible Singletary plays less than a lot of the other starters given the demanding nature of his position, but he'll likely be out there in some capacity early in the game, if nothing else. He was held out of the preseason opener last Thursday against Detroit, giving Eric Gray, Tyrone Tracy (ankle) and Dante Miller (hamstring) an opportunity to shine on a strong night for the Giants' running game. Tracy and Miller appear in danger of missing the upcoming exhibition with Houston,…read more

Observes backups in preseason win
Singletary didn't play in the Giants' first preseason game Thursday versus Detroit, and New York's running game produced 155 ground yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries.
Analysis: That Singletary didn't play in the team's initial preseason matchup further emphasizes what was already a given, which is that he'll take over the lead-back role for the Giants with Saquon Barkley now in Philadelphia. The extent to which Singletary serves as a workhorse, though, could depend on how effectively the team's other ball carriers perform. If Thursday was any indication, second-year back Eric Gray could earn a healthy workload, as he gained 52 yards and scored twice on just four…read more

Joining New York's backfield
Singletary is slated to sign a three-year deal with the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Per Schefter, Singletary's looming three-year pact with New York is a $16.5 million agreement that could be worth up to $19.5 million. The 26-year-old, who had 216 carries for 898 yards and four TDs to go along with 30 catches for 193 yards in 17 regular-season games with the Texans in 2023, steps into a situation where he'll be called upon to help fill in for the departure of Saquon Barkley (Eagles).

Effective as pass catcher
Singletary rushed the ball nine times for 22 yards in Saturday's 34-10 loss to the Ravens. He added five receptions on six targets for 48 yards.
Analysis: Game script and a tough matchup combined to mute Singletary's production on the ground. However, he finished third on the team in targets and was effective as a pass catcher, with two of his five receptions going for double-digit gains. With the performance, Singletary recorded at least three receptions in five of his final six games. He's set to hit free agency this offseason and helped his market by tallying 1,091 yards from scrimmage with four total touchdowns across 17 games with the Texans.

Tallies garbage-time score
Singletary rushed the ball 13 times for 66 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 45-14 win over the Browns. He added three receptions on three targets for four yards.
Analysis: The Texans relied on C.J. Stroud for their scoring in the first half, as the rookie quarterback had three touchdowns. That, combined with a tough matchup against the Browns' run defense limited Singletary's production for much of the game, even though he out-touched Dameon Pierce 16-3.

Scores vital touchdown
Singletary rushed the ball 24 times for 63 yards in Saturday's 23-19 win over the Colts. He added one reception on one target for two yards.
Analysis: Singletary was the only Texans running back to record a carry in the game. He was highly inefficient with the opportunity, as he averaged only 2.6 yards per rush and his longest gain went for only seven yards. Nevertheless, he scored the game-winning touchdown with just over six minutes remaining on a three-yard scamper into the end zone. Singletary will enter the postseason as Houston's clear lead back and should get a heavy workload regardless of the team's wild-card round matchup.

Totals 86 yards
Singletary rushed the ball 16 times for 80 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans. He added three catches on three targets for six yards.
Analysis: Singletary's volume bounced back relative to his Week 16 performance, though he was once again affected by game script. He saw only half of the Texans' 14 rushing attempts in the final two quarters with the team in control of the game, which limited his final stat line. While Singletary will maintain a lead in touches over Dameon Pierce, he has now been held under 100 total yards in five of his last six games.

Limited workload in Week 16 loss
Singletary carried the ball nine times for 44 yards and caught all three of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: The running back was effective on the ground once again, with his longest gain going for 17 yards, but Singletary's workload dwindled as the game got away from the Texans. Since his breakout performance in Week 10, Singletary has amassed 689 scrimmage yards in seven games with three rushing TDs and a 4.8 yards per carry average. He should be more involved in Week 17 against the Titans.

Tallies 170 total yards
Singletary rushed the ball 26 times for 121 yards in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Titans. He added four receptions on five targets for 49 yards.
Analysis: Singletary dominated work out of the Texans backfield, as Dameon Pierce saw only one total touch. Singletary took advantage of the absence of Jeffery Simmons (knee) along the typically stout Tennessee defensive line, ripping off three runs for double-digit yards. His biggest gain of the day came on a 41-yard reception in overtime, which set up the game-winning field goal.

Singletary rushed 13 times for 65 yards and a touchdown while failing to catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Jets.

Stroud threw for only 91 yards before exiting in the fourth quarter to be evaluated for a concussion, while Dameon Pierce had just four carries for nine yards.

Role slips in victory
Singletary rushed the ball eight times for 36 yards in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Broncos. He added one reception on one target for four yards.
Analysis: Singletary entered Sunday having seen double-digit touches in six straight games. However, that streak ended as he fell behind Dameon Pierce in terms of workload Sunday, with Pierce drawing 15 touches to Singletary's nine. The Texans held a comfortable lead for much of this matchup, which led to a game script that fell more into Pierce's style. In games that Houston falls behind, Singletary may see his role increase again, but his volume appears to be unreliable for the time being.

Splits with Pierce in Week 12 loss
Singletary rushed six times for 18 yards while catching six of seven targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Jaguars.
Analysis: After a three-week run as Houston's lead back, Singletary split carries with Dameon Pierce (ankle) in Pierce's first action since Week 8. Neither running back found much rushing success, as Pierce finished with just 14 yards on five rushing attempts.

Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik suggested earlier in the week that Singletary will likely "share the load" Sunday against the Jaguars with Dameon Pierce (ankle), who is active after missing Houston's last three games, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Pierce served as Houston's starting running back for the first seven games of the season but was one of the NFL's least-efficient runners, averaging a paltry 3.0 yards on 109 carries. While Pierce has been out the last three games with a high-ankle sprain, Singletary has given life to Houston's ground attack, taking 65 carries for 288 yards (4.4 average) and two touchdowns while adding five catches for 17 yards.

Singletary also added his second touchdown in as many weeks with an 11-yard run in the second quarter, rounding out his fantasy production nicely.

Another start on tap
Singletary again will operate as the Texans' top running back Sunday against the Cardinals with Dameon Pierce (ankle) ruled out for that contest.
Analysis: Singletary is slated for a third consecutive start with Pierce sidelined, and the former is coming off a career-best 150 rushing yards in this past Sunday's win at Cincinnati. Another 30-carry performance may not be needed this weekend versus Arizona, but he at least will be taking on a defense that has conceded the second-most touchdowns (14) to opposing running backs in 10 games this season.

Analysis: Singletary filled in for Dameon Pierce (ankle) for the second straight game, and on this occasion, he was the only Texans running back to log a carry. Singletary consistently exploited running lanes throughout the afternoon, with his long gain going for a modest 22 yards. He also recorded his first touchdown in a Texans uniform on a six-yard run midway through the third quarter, the perfect punctuation mark on the career-best performance.

Analysis: Pierce will miss his second straight game.

Tough sledding as lead back
Singletary rushed 13 times for 26 yards and netted no gain on two catches in the Texans' 39-37 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Singletary paced the Texans in rushing yards while serving as the de facto lead back in the absence of Dameon Pierce (ankle). Singletary found precious little running room against Tampa Bay's standout run defense, however, leading to minimal production relative to opportunity. The fifth-year pro could revert to a complementary role as early as a Week 10 road matchup against the Bengals.

Set for lead role with Pierce out
Singletary's expected to handle the bulk of the backfield workload Sunday against the Buccaneers, as Dameon Pierce (ankle) has been ruled out.
Analysis: Singletary started the season as Pierce's backup but worked his way into a timeshare over the past two games, due in large part to Pierce's struggles. With Pierce sidelined, Singletary will get a chance to showcase his skills in a lead role, though he'll be doing so against a Tampa Bay defense that has allowed just one scrimmage touchdown to a running back all season. Mike Boone and Dare Ogunbowale will round out Houston's Week 9 backfield depth chart.

Analysis: Dameon Pierce and Singletary each saw 12 touches on the day, and neither was able to reach 50 scrimmage yards despite a matchup with a Carolina defense that came into the game ranked 31st in rushing yards per game allowed.

Outplays Pierce in Week 6 win
Singletary rushed 12 times for 58 yards and caught one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Saints.

Pierce is averaging just 2.9 YPC to Singletary's 3.9 on the season, so while neither running back has found much success, Pierce's struggles have opened the door for Singletary to take on a larger role.

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.

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.

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.

Furthermore, Allen scored Buffalo's lone touchdown of the contest, sneaking in from one yard.

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 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.

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.

Paces backfield in Week 1 win
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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Moss was on the field for 47 of the Bills' 73 offensive snaps (64 percent), while Singletary received 24 snaps (34 percent).

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.

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 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.

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.

Effective as starter
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. Third-stringer Matt Breida also mixed in during the second quarter after Singletary had the backfield to himself in the first, but Singletary still provided the second quarter's biggest…read more

First on depth chart
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

Limited impact as lead back
Singletary carried six times for 17 yards and caught two of three targets for nine yards Sunday in the Bills' 38-24 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.
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. He logged just 13 carries between the Bills' divisional-round win over the Ravens and the loss to Kansas City, mustering only 42 yards.

Logs 10 touches in divisional round
Singletary registered 25 yards on seven carries, securing all three of his targets for 12 receiving yards during Saturday's 17-3 divisional-round win against the Ravens.
Analysis: Singletary entered the playoff bout with just six combined carries for 28 yards over his two preceding outings. 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.

Six touches in playoff win
Singletary rushed three times for 21 yards and caught all three of his targets for 23 yards in Saturday's 27-24 wild-card round win over the Colts.
Analysis: Singletary played second fiddle to Zack Moss (seven carries, four catches) for most of the game but took over as the lead back after Moss was carted off with an ankle injury early in the fourth quarter. The running back position is an afterthought in a Bills offense that relies mostly on quarterback Josh Allen in all situations, as evidenced by Allen's 35 pass attempts and team-high 11 rushing attempts. That said, Singletary should see an uptick in workload in the AFC divisional round next week…read more

Limited Week 17 action
Singletary carried the ball three times for just seven yards in Sunday's win over Miami and caught his only target for six yards.
Analysis: The Bills rested most of their starters for the second half of the regular-season finale, so Singletary should be fresh when the Bills meet the Colts to open up the playoff slate Saturday. Even though he was healthy just about the entire season, it was a terrible campaign by fantasy standards for the second-year back out of Florida Atlantic. Singletary played every game and still didn't hit 1,000 yards from scrimmage, often ceding important work to rookie Zack Moss. Singletary finished 32nd…read more

Tops 50 scrimmage yards
Singletary rushed 10 times for 36 yards and caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Monday night's 38-9 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Singletary had a couple gains of 10-plus yards, but otherwise was held in check. 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

Breaks off 51-yard TD run
Singletary ran for 68 yards and a touchdown on eight carries, corralling all three of his targets for 16 yards during Saturday's 48-19 win against the Broncos.
Analysis: Singletary led the Bills' running back committee with 39 snaps, but Zack Moss paced the team in both carries (13) and rushing yardage (81) during a dominant road win. A 51-yard TD run with 1:40 remaining in regulation salvaged a solid fantasy day from Singletary, simultaneously providing the back with his first rushing score since Week 4.

Quiet in SNF win
Singletary rushed seven times for 32 yards and caught his lone target for two more yards in Sunday's 26-15 win over Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Singletary saw his share of carries nearly halved in favor of Zack Moss, despite the former averaging 4.6 yards per carry compared to the latter's sub-par mark of 3.3 yards per carry. Perhaps it was based on the matchup, but the role reversal did not jeopardize the outcome for the Bills, only the outcome for those who were relying on Singletary to contribute his usual 12-15 touches.

Heavy workload in win
Singletary rushed 18 times for 61 yards and secured three of four targets for 22 yards in the Bills' 34-24 win over the 49ers on Monday night.
Analysis: Zack Moss was part of a fumbled exchange with Josh Allen at the Bills' three-yard line early in the first quarter, a miscue that led to the 49ers' first touchdown of the night. Singletary essentially became the exclusive back from that point forward, tying his highest number of carries on the season. The second-year back also logged three receptions for the second straight game and third time in the last four contests.

Singletary rushed 11 times for 82 yards and caught all three of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Chargers. He also lost a fumble.
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 both Allen and Moss cutting into his production, Singletary has mustered just one touchdown heading into a Week 13 date with the 49ers. On the bright side, Singletary topped 100 scrimmage yards for just the second time all season.

Poor effort in loss
Singletary gained 15 yards on four carries and caught only one of five targets for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: As poor as Singletary's performance was, Zack Moss was just as ineffective, netting 17 yards on eight touches, and Josh Allen wound up leading the Bills in rushing yards. 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.

Singletary carried two times for one yard and caught all three of his targets for an additional 33 yards during Sunday's 44-34 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Singletary received his lowest total of carries on the season, as Zack Moss and Josh Allen did most of the work on the ground. Singletary topped 30 receiving yards for just the second time this season, but that wasn't enough to propel him to useful fantasy production. This was concerning for Singletary's fantasy outlook, considering he carried the ball 14 times last week and his team played from ahead for most of this one.

Near-even workload split with Moss
Singletary rushed 14 times for 86 yards and caught his only target for another six in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Singletary was heavily involved from the get-go with blustering winds creating run-friendly conditions. Buffalo's first four offensive plays were handoffs to Singletary, and the fifth was a pass to the second-year running back. Singletary mustered only 18 yards on those five plays, however, and the pendulum swung Zack Moss's way from there.

Under 50 yards against Jets
Singletary rushed eight times for 29 yards and caught two of five targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 18-10 win over the Jets.
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. The second-year back out of FAU will look to bounce back in Week 8 against the Patriots.

In the end, Buffalo attempted a season low amount of passes, yet quarterback Josh Allen outgained Singletary with 42 yards on his eight rushes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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).

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.

Picks up 79 yards in win

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.
