Devin Singletary piled up 21 carries for a measly 31 yards against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9, a stat line that had New York Giants fans shaking their heads. It was a tough afternoon for the running back, who also caught two passes for a grand total of eight yards. Talk about being stifled!
The Numbers Just Don’t Lie
Twenty-one carries and only 31 rushing yards. That’s just barely over a yard per carry, which is brutal, especially when you consider Singletary had the Giants’ backfield all to himself. Injuries meant he was the bell cow, and while you love to see a guy get that kind of workload, the production just wasn’t there. The Eagles defense absolutely smothered him, bottling him up play after play, making every single yard feel like a battle. It was a grind for Singletary, and honestly, a hard watch for anyone hoping for some offensive spark from the Giants.
Volume Is There, But Where’s the Production?
Despite the truly frustrating output, there’s a tiny glimmer of what *could* be good news for fantasy managers out there. Singletary still managed to handle 23 touches in the game. That’s a ton of volume, and if Cam Skattebo isn’t able to get back on the field for Week 10, Singletary is probably going to be in the same position, getting all the carries. If that happens, he could still be a volume-based flex option, even if the efficiency isn’t exactly lighting up the scoreboard. But let’s be real, the Giants need more than just touches if they want their run game to actually make an impact.
Next up, we’ll all be watching to see if Cam Skattebo makes it back for Week 10. If not, Singletary will get another shot to prove he can translate those touches into some actual yardage.
