Devin Singletary is staring down a massive Week 9 opportunity, and it all hinges on Cam Skattebo’s hamstring. Giants coach John Harbaugh said Friday they are “keeping the door open” for Skattebo to play against Philadelphia, but let’s be real, it “doesn’t sound promising.” If Skattebo is out, Singletary is looking at a hefty workload as the Giants’ No. 1 running back, and you need to pay attention.
Singletary’s Time to Feast Against the Eagles’ Run D
Seriously, this is the week for Singletary if Skattebo can’t go. The Eagles’ defense has been straight-up giving up points to running backs all season. We’re talking five different backs already scoring at least 12.6 PPR points against them, including three in a row with Chuba Hubbard, Javonte Williams, and Rachaad White. And get this: in all but one game this year, a running back has hit at least 10.8 PPR points against Philly. That’s not just a trend; that’s an invitation.
Singletary’s past performance when he gets the rock is exactly what you want to see. This season, he’s only played four games, but in the two where he saw at least eight total touches, he delivered a minimum of 13.8 PPR points in both! Go back to 2025, and he had eight games with at least 10 total touches. He scored 10.3 PPR points or more in six of those, including three outings with at least 17 PPR points. The dude produces when he’s the guy. With Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hamstring) on IR and Greg Desrosiers Jr. likely stepping in as the No. 2, Singletary is primed. Keep an eye out for any practice squad moves with Eric Gray and Phil Mafah, but the main point is clear: Singletary is Jamey Eisenberg’s favorite sleeper for Week 9. If he’s the starter for the Giants at Philadelphia, you absolutely have to start him in most fantasy leagues.
Quarterback Sleepers You Can’t Ignore for Week 9
Beyond Singletary, there are a couple of quarterback sleepers who could explode this week. First up, Malik Willis. This guy has been on a tear, scoring at least 18.6 Fantasy points in each of his last three games against Cincinnati, the Jets, and New England. Now, he gets the best matchup you could ask for: the Detroit Lions. The Lions are dead last, number one, in Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Every single quarterback who has faced Detroit this season has scored at least 20.9 Fantasy points AND thrown for at least two touchdowns. Willis has top-10 upside in all leagues for Week 9; you’d be crazy to pass him up if you need a QB.
Then there’s Tyler Shough, coming off his Week 8 bye. Before the bye, he had a bit of a slump, scoring 17.9 Fantasy points or less in three of his past four games. That was disappointing, especially since he had previously scored at least 24.4 Fantasy points. He’s at home against the Browns, and this is his chance to get back on track.
This Week 9 slate has some huge opportunities if you know where to look. Get these guys in your lineups and watch them go!
