Nicholas Singleton a Mid-Round Pick with Upside
Penn State running back prospect Nicholas Singleton projects as a mid-round pick in this week's NFL Draft, but he has additional upside that could make him a sleeper in 2026 rookie fantasy football drafts. Singleton was a standout running back during all four years of school, including his freshman season in 2022, when he totaled 1,146 scrimmage yards and 13 touchdowns. His best season was 2024, as he exploded for 1,099 rushing yards, 375 receiving yards, and 17 total touchdowns. Singleton leaves Penn State with a whopping 54 NCAA touchdowns to his name, and he should continue to be a scoring threat in the NFL. While he should get plenty of goal-line opportunities, there's a little less optimism about his ability to rack up yardage or occupy an every-down role. That's why he'll be more of a mid-round pick than an early-round pick. As a result, he's likely going to fall to the second round of rookie fantasy football drafts. As it stands, he ranks No. 22 overall (and No. 7 among running backs) in RotoBaller's latest rookie rankings. However, he has top-10 rookie upside if he ends up in a landing spot where he'll be able to handle double-digit touches per game.
