Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary find themselves in another new running back room situation after the team lost Cam Skattebo to injury. Not only are the two locked in a battle to win over Brian Daboll for starting rights, but they are also in a competition to win your favor to start in Week 9. With many moving pieces, it can be hard to keep up.
Luckily, Sportskeeda is here to help. Here’s a look at the New York Giants running back situation and a recommendation for who you should start in Week 9.

According to Sportskeeda’s Who Should I Start Tool, Tyrone Tracy Jr. is in for a usable contest, but far from a breakout performance. The running back is set to rush for 46.3 yards with a 30% chance of a touchdown.
He is also in line to haul in about two catches for 15.7 yards with a 10% chance of scoring a touchdown through the air. Overall, the running back should be looked at as a flex option. However, how does he stack up against Devin Singletary? Let’s take a look.
Is Devin Singletary a good fantasy pick in Week 9?
Devin Singletary might have seen some run at moments in his career, but the running back is not seen as an option in New York. Singletary failed to log a single rushing yard in Sunday’s battle against the Philadelphia Eagles and is on deck for another statistically empty game.
At least, that is what Sportskeeda’s Who Should I Start Tool has projected. The tool expects Singletary not to log a receiving yard, a rushing yard, or a touchdown in any form. As such, he should be on the waiver wire, not your fantasy football team if you have Tyrone Tracy Jr. The choice is obvious, but let’s dive into just how big the discrepancy between the two is expected to be.
Should I start Tyrone Tracy Jr. or Devin Singletary in Week 9 fantasy football?
Tyrone Tracy Jr. is projected to earn 10.3 points in Week 9 against the San Francisco 49ers. With Singletary expected not to log much of anything by fantasy football standards, the choice for this week is clear.
Put simply, go with Tracy. You may wish to try trading Singletary to an unsuspecting manager, but beware: it might be the last trade offer they take from you.
