Singletary also caught one pass for a five-yard loss. The six-year vet opened the season as the Giants' starter after signing a three-year, $16.5 million contract this offseason but proved to be anything but an adequate replacement for Saquon Barkley. A groin injury suffered in Week 4 sidelined Singletary for two weeks, but that proved to be more than enough time for rookie fifth-rounder Tyrone Tracy to take his place at the top of the running back depth chart. From Weeks 7-18, Singletary rushed just 57 times for 216 yards and two scores while catching 10 balls for 52 scoreless yards. The Giants would incur a $6 million cap hit if they were to release Singletary this offseason, which is his best path to any future fantasy success. At just 27 years old, he could have some viability in the right situation, which doesn't appear to be in New York.
Tracy took over as the Giants' RB1 in Week 5 against the Seahawks after Devin Singletary was sidelined with an injury. The rookie never lost his grip on the starting job, as he saw double-digit opportunities in all but one game for the rest of the season, while posting three 100-plus yard rushing performances. His rookie season didn't come without its struggles, as he surpassed 50 rushing yards just twice over the final eight weeks, but Tracy has proven that he's more than deserving of a role heading into next season. The Giants need to add more weapons to their backfield, which could have an impact on Tracy's 2025 outlook, but there's plenty to build on for the rookie fifth-rounder.
