News: 1 day agoSingletary rushed twice for three yards and a touchdown while bringing in both of his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 30-7 Week 12 loss to Tampa Bay.

Spin: The entire Giants offense struggled Sunday in its first game this season under the guidance of quarterback Tommy DeVito, and game script led to just 20 total New York rushing attempts in the contest. Rookie Tyrone Tracy continued to receive the bulk of the backfield work with nine carries for an efficient 42 yards, but it was Singletary who recorded the team's only score on a one-yard plunge into the end zone early in the fourth quarter. That opportunity came with Tracy briefly benched due to losing his second fumble in as many games early in the third period, but he later returned to the field and finished out the contest, so Singletary will likely work in a backup role again Thursday when the Giants face Dallas in a Thanksgiving matchup between teams with a combined 6-16 record.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Singletary signed a three-year deal to join the Giants and essentially replace Saquon Barkley. Good luck. While Singletary delivered seven double-digit fantasy efforts for the Texans last season, he is not close to Barkley's level. Singletary averaged only 9.8 fantasy points per game. He is undersized and not a speed burner, but he has been a fairly consistent, durable contributor for five NFL seasons. The Giants may be poised to give him his best opportunity for touches, even though they drafted Tyrone Tracy Jr. late, but in a below-average offense with issues galore, it makes Singletary an RB3, at best.
