Devin Singletary fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sit Devin Singletary for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3
ANALYSIS: New York Giants running Devin Singletary made his debut with the team last week, but he had fewer carries than expected and was also somewhat inefficient. The 27-year-old rushed just 10 times for 37 yards, though he salvaged his performance in PPR leagues with four receptions.
Singletary saw his production scaled back partly due to a negative game script against the Vikings. That could change this week, with the Giants expected to keep the score close against the Washington Commanders.
It would be so Fantasy Football for everyone to remove players like Zamir White, Christian Watson, & Devin Singletary from their lineups today just for them to pop off wouldn’t it…

The Commanders held White to 31 rushing yards on 15 carries last week, but he gashed them in the passing game, catching six passes for an additional 75 yards through the air. Singletary figures to carve out a decent role in the passing game this week, so a top-24 is well within reach, particularly in PPR leagues.
The biggest obstacle for Singletary is the quarterback play of Daniel Jones. He threw two interceptions and took five sacks last week. If the Giants can't stay on the field or consistently find themselves far from the line to gain, they'll have less incentive to run the ball.
New York's offensive line is also a concern. The front office spent resources to rebuild the unit this year, and while it's better than in 2023, they still have major deficiencies in pass and run protection.
Therefore, while Singletary has top-24 upside, we need to temper expectations slightly and view him as more of a top-28 or top-30 option. That puts him firmly in the mix as a startable RB3/FLEX in all leagues with at least 10 teams.

Rashod Bateman - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Bateman looked solid in training camp, though then again, so do players like WR Elijah Moore, and they end up not doing much in real games. […]
Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
Caleb Douglas- Start or Sit?
Baller Move: Bench in standard leagues, mid-end FLEX in deeper leagues Positional Value: WR4 Analysis: One of the big mysteries in fantasy football this offseason was how the Miami Dolphins’ offense would look in 2026. Miami signed quarterback Malik Willis to a big contract in free agency, but his pass-catching group was filled with unproven […]
