Devin Singletary a desperation-only RB for Week 9—here’s a full matchup breakdown, projection, and start/sit outlook versus the 49ers

Analyze Devin Singletary's matchup for week 9

TL;DR ❌ SIT

Even with Cam Skattebo out for the year, Singletary remains buried behind Tyrone Tracy (64% snap share) and has averaged 2.3 carries for 4 yards over the last three games; a neutral matchup versus the 49ers can’t overcome a 19% snap share and 3.0 YPC.


Matchup Overview

The 49ers allow 102.5 rushing yards per game (13th) and only 3.3 YPC, but they’ve surrendered just one rushing TD all season. New York’s leaky line and projected negative game script (NYG +2.5 at home) further cap upside, so even a modest uptick in carries likely caps Singletary under 40 total yards with zero scores.


Recent Trend

A declining snap share (starter to 19%), falling carries (3.75 → 2.25 per game) and zero touchdowns on 28 attempts highlight a season-long fade from relevance.


Deep Dive Analysis

If you’re rostering Singletary it should be as a handcuff stash only. Should Tracy miss time, Singletary would inherit 15-plus touches in a run-heavy offense and could become a volume-based RB2, but that contingency has nothing to do with this week’s matchup. Until then, any lineup spot given to him is a wasted spot better used chasing upside on the wire.
