- Cam Skattebo has not practiced this week with a hamstring issue, but Giants coach John Harbaugh said Friday the team was “keeping the door open” for him to play at Philadelphia in Week 9.
- Devin Singletary has top-15 upside as the Giants’ No. 1 running back if Skattebo cannot play, while Philadelphia has allowed five backs to score at least 12.6 PPR points, including Chuba Hubbard, Javonte Williams and Rachaad White in three straight games.
- Devin Singletary has played only four games this season, but produced at least 13.8 PPR points in both games with at least eight touches; in 2025, he reached at least 10.3 PPR in six of eight 10-touch games and had three games above 17 points.
- Tyrone Tracy Jr. is on IR, Greg Desrosiers Jr. is projected to be the Giants’ No. 2 back behind Singletary if Skattebo is out, and Eric Gray and Phil Mafah are also on the practice squad.
- Jonah Coleman is Jamey Eisenberg’s “Start of the Week” and a $6,300 FanDuel running back at Carolina, where the Panthers rank No. 2 in most fantasy points allowed to opposing RBs; CBS Sports’ Week 9 PPR cheat sheet likewise places him in borderline must-start territory.
- Devin Singletary is Eisenberg’s top Week 9 sleeper, is listed at $4,600 in DraftKings at Philadelphia, and should be started in most fantasy leagues if he starts for the Giants.
Why it matters: Devin Singletary’s fantasy role hinges on one Week 9 roster decision: if Cam Skattebo cannot play, the Giants’ No. 1 back has top-15 upside against a defense that has allowed five 12.6-PPR-or-better running-back games. The recommendation is to start Singletary in most leagues, but only when he is the starter.
