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
Nearly reaches century mark in loss
Singletary carried the ball 16 times for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Commanders. He also caught his only target for zero yards.
ANALYSIS
The veteran running back scored his first TD as a Giant late in the first quarter on a seven-yard run. Singletary has dominated the backfield touches for New York through the first two weeks of the year -- Tyrone Tracy was the only other RB to see the ball, taking one carry for two yards -- and while the team's offense as a whole hasn't been particularly effective so far, that volume does give him a solid fantasy floor. Singletary will look to put together another strong effort in Week 3 against the Browns.

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
Set for significant workload
Singletary is set to handle a massive workload in 2024, Jordan Ranaan of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Singletary joined the Giants this offseason and has remarked that his decision was dictated primarily by the opportunity to lead the backfield. The rest of the team's running back corps has 18 carries combined in the NFL, making Singletary the clear leader. His efficiency may be limited by an already banged-up offensive line, though the Giants did invest heavily in the trenches this offseason.
