2025 Fantasy Outlook
Singleton emerged as one of the top tacklers in the league, and he peaked with 177 tackles in 2023. His 2024 was cut short by a torn ACL after only three games, but he is expected to be ready for the start of 2025. Despite his gaudy tackle totals, Singleton's production profile is fragile. He's had missed tackle rates of at least 11 percent in four of his five seasons and allowed a 110.1 quarterback rating when targeted in his career. The good news from Singleton's perspective is that the Broncos don't have many viable alternatives, as Justin Strnad struggled considerably as one of the players who stepped in for him after the injury. All told, there's significant downside for Singleton - especially given that he's coming off of a major injury -- but his track record and Denver's depth chart suggest he'll have at least a significant two-down role.

ANALYSIS
Singleton was expected to be ready for the regular season, so it's no surprise he's returned to the field for OTAs after tearing his ACL during the Broncos' Week 3 win in 2024. The Montana State product was one of the NFL's top tackles prior to his injury, recording 177 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and four passes defended across 17 regular-season games in 2023. Now that he's returned, Singleton is likely to remain one of the team's top defensive playmakers in 2025.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
Singleton has topped 120 tackles in four straight seasons, giving him a strong floor to start from. The question will be just how high his ceiling may be. We got a glimpse of that in 2023, as he topped 1,000 snaps for the first time in his career and put up an impressive 177 tackles. The Broncos did little to add to their middle linebacker corps this offseason, setting Singleton up for another big season. Singleton has proven to be strong defender against the run, but he is rarely used as a pass rusher so his fantasy contributions will come primarily in the form of tackles.
Singleton, who racked up a career-high 163 tackles in 2022, signed a three-year deal with the Broncos in March, which rewarded the team's leading tackler after he grossly outperformed the one-year deal he signed last offseason. Singleton recorded double-digit tackle totals in seven games last season, while also making at least 20 tackles in two games. In 2023, Singleton should continue to make plays on a defense that could be one of the league's strongest units, thus putting the 29-year-old linebacker in line to remain a strong IDP option.
Singleton signed a one-year contract with the Broncos in March after leading the Eagles in tackles in each of the last two seasons. The 28-year-old joins a strong defensive unit with talented playmakers at every level. Singleton should start at inside linebacker and will look to make impact plays for Denver in 2022.
Perhaps Singleton isn't a great linebacker in real-life terms, but he was golden as an IDP in 2020, and the Eagles don't appear to have the necessary linebacker personnel to take his reps away. So long as he remains in a three-down role, Singleton should once again be IDP gold. Singleton produced 88 tackles and two sacks in the final eight weeks last season, illustrating top-shelf LB1 upside. The reason he's ranked this low is due to Philadelphia's scheme change — new coordinator Jonathan Gannon could put Singleton in position to produce like last year, but it's not a given.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might be ready for camp
LBDenver Broncos
May 19, 2025
Singleton is making good progress in his recovery from an ACL tear that cost him most of the 2024 season, and the Broncos haven't ruled out the linebacker being ready to participate in training camp, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old went down in Week 3 last season, finishing his campaign with 31 tackles in three contests. The team's main goal is to make sure he's in the lineup for the season opener in 2025, and Singleton appears on track to meet that target. Denver did bolster its linebacking corps this offseason with free agent Dre Greenlaw, who is recovering from a quad injury, but getting Singleton back would be a huge boost to the defense after he averaged 170 tackles over his first two seasons with the Broncos.
