2024 Fantasy Outlook
By now it is easy enough to see what Singletary is -- a high-motor runner who will never go down easy, but also one who lacks long-range speed and struggles to produce as a pass catcher. The question of Singletary's 2024 fantasy upside depends on how much the Giants value his solid but somewhat limited profile and whether they can field a competent offense. The lack of experienced alternatives or early draft picks in New York's backfield suggests Singletary has a chance to top his career highs of 216 carries (2023) and 52 targets (2022). Saquon Barkley saw 247 carries and 60 targets in 14 games last year, and Singletary might have a similar volume ceiling despite being an inferior player. It's fair to worry that a 5-foot-8, 203-pound back might wilt under such a heavy workload, though Singletary had no such problems in college at Florida Atlantic, taking 562 carries in his final 26 games (21.6 carries per game). He's also held up well in the NFL with smaller workloads, playing every possible game four straight seasons. Of course, the 2024 Giants offense will likely be significantly worse than the offenses Singletary played in with the Bills and Texans, so this probably won't be the most efficient season of his career.

RANKS
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 continue against the Commanders in Sunday's divisional battle.

At 5-8, 203, with a 4.66 40 time, Singletary never had the conventional profile of an NFL running back -- not even a backup. That he stuck as long as he did as a starter in Buffalo, which is to say most of the last four years, is in itself a testament to Singletary's mettle. His relentless motor allows him to catch defenders off guard, getting under their pads and knocking them backward despite his weight disadvantage. Over a long sample, though, Singletary's lack of speed and brute strength eventually shows up, leading to the conclusion that he might be best suited as a backup. Signed by the Texans in March to a one-year deal, Singletary should be an effective firecracker off the bench after starter Dameon Pierce tenderizes the defense, and he might even have more ability as a pass catcher than what he showed in Buffalo. Singletary struggled as a receiver with the Bills, but so did James Cook and Zack Moss, both plus pass-catchers in college. The Houston system might improve Singletary's pass-catching efficiency to somewhat offset his playing time decrease.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to return in Week 6
Singletary appears likely to return from his groin injury for a Week 6 matchup against the Bengals, Jordan Ranaan of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Singletary was inactive for the Giants' Week 5 win over Seattle, though he did manage a limited practice session Friday. That sets him up to ramp up his activity in the coming week and suit up against Cincinnati, though his role upon his return has come into question. Singletary has performed reasonably well early in the season for the Giants, but rookie Tyrone Tracy delivered an explosive performance in his absence, potentially pushing the duo toward a backfield timeshare.
