Giants' Devin Singletary: Sees little action in return
Rotowire
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.
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 Week 8 against a stingy Steelers defense.

Giants' Devin Singletary: Cleared from injury report
Rotowire
Singletary (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
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.

Giants' Devin Singletary: Will share work with Tracy
Rotowire
Coach Brian Daboll expects Singletary (groin) to return for Sunday's game against Philadelphia but said Tyrone Tracy will get significant playing time, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Daboll said Tracy "earned it" with his impressive performances in Singletary's absence the past two weeks. Daboll also suggested third-stringer Eric Gray will play some, noting that the Giants want to ease Singletary back into action. It remains to be seen if the team lists Singletary with a game designation on the final injury report.

Giants' Devin Singletary: Another limited practice
Rotowire
Singletary (groin) was limited at Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Singletary still is in search of an ever elusive first full practice since the Giants' Week 4 loss to the Cowboys on Sept. 26. He's missed two games in the meantime due to a groin issue, but he at least has been listed as limited on six consecutive injury reports. If Singletary remains sidelined Sunday against the Eagles, Tyrone Tracy will continue to lead New York's backfield.

Giants' Devin Singletary: Remains limited at practice
Rotowire
Singletary (groin) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Stretching back to Week 5 prep, Singletary now has been listed as limited on five consecutive injury reports, but he's been sidelined the last two games due to a groin issue, which has allowed rookie fifth-round pick Tyrone Tracy to burst onto the scene. Singletary will have two more opportunities to log a full session this week before the Giants potentially hand him a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Eagles.

Giants' Devin Singletary: Will not play Sunday
Rotowire
Singletary (groin) has been downgraded ahead of the Sunday night game against the Bengals and will not play in the contest.
Head coach Brian Daboll was noncommittal when asked about Singletary's status earlier in the week, which said all fantasy managers probably needed to know entering the primetime contest. As a result, rookie fifth-round pick Tyrone Tracy is set to operate as the team's starting running back in a juicy matchup against a Bengals defense that has been pitiful all year long. A converted collegiate receiver, it's entirely possible Tracy will get more involved through the air after seeing only two targets in the Week 5 win.

Giants' Devin Singletary: Questionable for Sunday night
Rotowire
Singletary (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Coach Brian Daboll said, "We'll see," when reporters asked him about Singletary's Week 6 availability earlier Friday, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. A game-time decision is possible, which would put a lot of fantasy managers in a tricky spot with the Giants playing on Sunday Night Football. Tyrone Tracy and Eric Gray came out of the gate splitting snaps and touches in Singletary's absence last week, with Tracy then dominating the workload after Gray lost a fumble near the goal line at the end of a lengthy opening drive. Tracy ended up taking 62 percent of snaps and 19 touches for 130 yards, making him a reasonable fantasy starter for Week 5 if Singletary is out again.

Giants' Devin Singletary: Remains limited in practice
Rotowire
Singletary (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Singletary now has cobbled together back-to-back capped sessions to kick off Week 6 prep, which is one more limited practice than he managed last week before he was deemed doubtful and eventually inactive this past Sunday at Seattle due to a groin injury. Friday's practice report ultimately will unveil whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.
Singletary (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
A groin injury contained Singletary to one limited session (Friday) last week, resulting in a doubtful designation and eventual inactive status for this past Sunday's game at Seattle. Rookie fifth-round pick Tyrone Tracy paced the Giants backfield with a 62 percent snap share and 19 touches for 130 yards from scrimmage, while Eric Gray handled seven touches for 54 total yards on 36 percent of plays. Head coach Brian Daboll told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com on Wednesday that Singletary is "trending in the right direction," but the sixth-year pro will have two more chances this week to get back to full participation before the team potentially clears him for Sunday's contest against the Bengals.

Giants' Devin Singletary: Slated to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Head coach Brian Daboll said that Singletary (groin) will participate in practice Wednesday in some capacity, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
The expectation is that Singletary will be listed as a limited participant, but the extent of his activity won't be known until the Giants publish their first Week 6 injury report later Wednesday. After missing New York's first two sessions of Week 5 prep, Singletary handled limited reps last Friday, then was inactive for the team's upset win over Seattle on Sunday. Rookie fifth-round pick Tyrone Tracy impressed with 18 carries for 129 rushing yards versus the Seahawks, and he may have earned himself a larger role out of the backfield in Week 6 even if Singletary is healthy enough to return for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Giants' Devin Singletary: Inactive as expected Sunday
Rotowire
Singletary (groin) is inactive for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Seahawks, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Singletary entered the weekend listed as doubtful after only managing a limited Friday practice this past week, and his expected inactive status is now official. With Singletary unavailable, rookie fifth-round pick Tyrone Tracy is expected to helm New York's ground attack versus a Seattle defense that's allowed just 82.0 rushing yards per contest in its two home games thus far. Meanwhile, Singletary will turn his attention to a potential return to action in a Week 6 home matchup against the Bengals next Sunday night.

Giants' Devin Singletary: Doubtful for Week 5
Rotowire
Singletary (groin) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at Seattle, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Singletary returned to drills Friday after sitting out the first two practices of Week 5 prep due to a groin injury, but the activity seemingly won't be enough for him to suit up this weekend. His status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but his likely absence should mean Tyrone Tracy gets extended run out of the Giants backfield. Aside from Tracy, Eric Gray is the other option on the active roster, while Dante Miller is a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad.

Giants' Devin Singletary: Returning to practice
Rotowire
Singletary (groin) will return to practice Friday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
It gives him a shot to play this Sunday at Seattle. Singletary didn't have any apparent limitations in last Thursday's loss to Dallas, taking 69 percent of snaps on offense, but he's been held out of practice this week due to a groin injury. The Giants may try to get him more involved in the passing game if he ends up playing, as WR Malik Nabers (concussion) and his 38 percent target share have been ruled out for Week 5.

Giants' Devin Singletary: Sitting out another practice
Rotowire
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Singletary (groin) won't practice Thursday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Singletary has now opened Week 5 prep with consecutive absences from practice, though the running back told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com prior to Thursday's session that he believes he has a chance to play Sunday in Seattle. In order to make that a reality, however, Singletary will likely need to take the field in some fashion Friday for the Giants' final Week 5 practice. If Singletary is a limited participant in that session, he would still likely carry a questionable designation into Sunday.

Giants' Devin Singletary: RBs to Start
Rotowire
Singletary was a huge dud in Week 4 against Dallas with 14 carries for 24 yards and one catch for 14 yards on one target. He scored just 4.8 PPR points, which snapped a two-game streak of him scoring at least 14.5 PPR points. I expect him to get back on track in this matchup with Seattle. The Seahawks are beat up defensively with linebackers Uchenna Nwosu (knee) and Boye Mafe (knee) and defensive linemen Byron Murphy II (hamstring) and Leonard Williams (ribs) missing Week 4 at Detroit, and safety Julian Love (thigh) injured against the Lions. Three running backs this season have scored at least 15 PPR points against Seattle, and Singletary is worth trusting as a No. 2 running back in all leagues.

Giants' Devin Singletary: Misses practice with groin injury
Rotowire
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Singletary will not practice Wednesday due to a groin injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
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. Tyrone Tracy and Eric Gray would likely lead the New York backfield if Singletary sits out this weekend.

Giants' Devin Singletary: Stymied by Cowboys in loss
Rotowire
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.
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.

Giants' Devin Singletary: RBs to Start
Rotowire
Singletary is getting hot, and it comes at the right time with a great matchup against the Cowboys in Week 4. He's scored at least 14.5 PPR points in each of the past two games against Washington and Cleveland, and he had four catches for 43 yards on four targets against the Browns, which is the second time this year where he had four receptions in a game. Dallas is No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs after Jerome Ford (18.9 PPR points in Week 1), Alvin Kamara (44.0 PPR points in Week 2) and Derrick Henry (30.4 PPR points in Week 3) tore this defense apart. Let's hope Singletary follows suit in Week 4, and he's worth using as a No. 2 running back in all leagues.

Giants' Devin Singletary: Rushing TD in back-to-back games
Rotowire
Singletary rushed 16 times for 65 yards and a touchdown, caught all four of his targets for 43 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 21-15 win over the Browns.
Singletary scored a first-quarter rushing touchdown for a second consecutive week, this time getting across the goal line from one yard out. He finished the first half with only three rushing yards on six carries, though, and Singletary lost his second fumble in as many games on his first carry after halftime. After being bottled up on the ground for most of the game, Singletary broke through for a 43-yard burst on the final play before the two-minute warning but unselfishly slid down at the 1-yard line, which allowed the Giants to kneel out the clock and clinch their first win of 2024. Singletary also finished third on the team in targets, catches and receiving yards behind wide receivers Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson, so the running back's contributing in all facets on offense heading into Thursday's home game against the Cowboys.

Giants' Devin Singletary: RBs to Sit
Rotowire
Singletary was great last week at Washington with 16 carries for 95 yards and, a touchdown, and one catch for 1 yard on one target for 14.5 PPR points. He scored 9.2 PPR points in Week 1 against Minnesota, and I expect that to be closer to his production this week at the Browns. Cleveland has allowed a rushing touchdown in each of the first two games against Ezekiel Elliott and Travis Etienne, but no running back has more than 58 total yards in two games against the Browns. If Singletary doesn't score this week, then his production could be minimal, and he should be considered a flex at best in all leagues.
