Scouting report

BUF RB Devin Singletary - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Tennessee
With Zack Moss on the shelf with an injury, Devin Singletary had a season-high 23 touches and the Bills will ride him that way until Moss gets healthy. He had 77 yards from scrimmage with a touchdown and although those numbers aren't top 5, the touches give him the potential to have big fantasy output.

Singletary will face Tennessee who is 26th in aFPA to running backs for far this season. The issue will be if they play the game. With a scheduled TUesday kickoff now, there is the risk of the game being cancelled so if you play Singletary, you will be rolling the dice.

However, if the game goes on as scheduled, start Singletary as a high-end RB2 for Week 4. We like the matchup and the amount of touches he has been getting. He should have better numbers than last week.

BUF RB Devin Singletary - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Las Vegas
Devin Singletary rushed 13 times for 71 yards and caught four passes for 50 yards in the win over the Rams. It was his best fantasy outing of the season and was aided by the fact that Zack Moss was out. Moss is not expected to play again this week so that raises Singletary's stock.

It will also help that he is facing the Raiders who are 30th in aFPA to running backs. Las Vegas has struggled with backs so far in 2020 which makes Singletary even more valuable.

Start Singletary as a low-end RB1 for Week 4. As long as Moss is out, we can expect him to be the primary offensive weapon on all three downs, the passing game and short yardage. He should have a minimum of 20 touches against Vegas.

BUF RB Devin Singletary - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Los Angeles Rams
Devin Singletary's touches fell from 15 to 12 from Week 1 to Week 2. He is still playing the most snaps of any running back, but it was closer to a 50/50 split this week with Zack Moss. Singletary has yet to score a touchdown or really get involved in the passing game while averaging 9.5 carries per game.

The Rams have been average against running backs through two games, ranked 13th in aFPA to running backs. Buffalo will always have to worry about Aaron Donald up front, but if they can minimize his impact, they backs can have a decent day.

Singletary ranks a high-end RB3 or Flex for Week 3. Although he is the No. 1 back for the Bills, he hasn't been used enough to move up to an RB2 status plus Buffalo likes Moss, especially in short yardage and goal line situations.

BUF RB Devin Singletary - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs Miami
Devin Singletary had a decent opener against the Jets. He did have 15 touches for 53 yards. That included five receptions which could be sign of things to come for him in the passing game. He did play 59% of the offensive snaps which is where he expected him to be. Although he is the No. 1 back this season, he will be spelled by Zach Moss a lot.

The Dolphins are up this week. Miami is 26th in aFPA to running backs. Singletary had 75 rushing yards in the second meeting with the Fins in 2019. It could be another big day for the Buffalo offense because the Dolphins defense is still not very good.

Singletary ranks a RB3 or flex for Week 2. After looking at this first game numbers, he probably has some more value in PPR leagues. The Bills offense looked much different so far as QB Josh Allen has improved which means players like Singletary will benefit.

BUF RB Devin Singletary - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. New York Jets
Devin Singletary had a strong rookie season and now with veteran Frank Gore gone, Singletary will be main ball carrier for Buffalo. We expect the running game to be a focus for the Bills offense this season and Singletary will get the bulk of the carries, although rookie Zack Moss will get some touches and could be the goal line back.

Singletary will face the Jets who were 11th in aFPA to running backs in 2019. He faced New York in his NFL debut and ended up with 70 yards rushing and five receptions for another 28 receiving yards. New York's defense is not expected to be much better in 2020.

Although we think Singletary will have a good second year in the NFL, he is not a premier running back at this point. He is good enough to start in Week 1 as a solid RB3 or flex. He has a little more value in PPR leagues.

BUF RB Devin Singletary - 2020 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Devin Singletary was a solid back as a rookie for the Bills and led the team in key rushing categories. He ran the ball 151 times for 775 yards for a healthy 5.1 yards per carry in only 12 games. Frank Gore had more carries but less production. The plans are for Singletary to be featured more this season and Buffalo's offense should be improved across the board with upgrades made in the off-season. He also had 29 receptions for 194 yards so there is room to grow in the Bills' passing game.

Fantasy Downside
Despite a solid rookie season, Singletary only ranked 24th in the league in rushing yards. With the possibility of playing four more games if he stays healthy, you might think he has a chance to have his stats go up significantly. However, the Bills did draft Zach Moss in the third round and he is expected to take touches away from Singletary, especially in goalline and short-yardage situations. Another negative from Singletary was he had four total touchdowns in 2019 - two rushing and two receiving.

2020 Bottom Line
Singletary is a valid fantasy option who will raise his rushing yard total to over 900 yards and should be more involved in the passing game. His ADP has him the 21st running back taken in the preseason, but that is actually higher than we value him. His value should have him going no earlier than the fifth round as he is ranked 27th in the running back rankings. Singletary will have a good season, but most see him as an RB2 going into the season, but he should be treated more like an RB3 or flex in 2020.

BUF RB Devin Singletary - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs New York Jets
Devin Singletary dropped down to 16 touches last week against the Patriots. He ended up with 48 total yards from scrimmage.

Singletary faces the Jets in the regular-season finale, but don't expect a heavy workload as the Bills are locked in 5 seed in the AFC. The Jets are 10th in aFPA to running backs so even if he were to get the ball 20+ times, it would be a challenge for him.

Start Singletary as a low-end RB3 for Week 17 as the touches won't be a lot for the rookie this week.
