The Giants lost the focal point of their offense this offseason when running back Saquon Barkley signed with their division rival, the Philadelphia Eagles. While the team addressed the position by bringing in another back who has had some success in the league, there's no question that the talent discrepancy between Barkley and new Giants starting running back Devin Singletary is significant.
Even Barkley struggled to get things going behind the Giants' terrible offensive line in 2023, breaking the 100-yard rushing mark in just one contest and getting into the end zone just six times. Meanwhile, Singletary spent the year as the lead back in what became a high-powered Houston Texans offense, but he also struggled, finishing with fewer than 900 rushing yards despite playing in every game. To make matters worse, while Barkley has proven to be a valuable asset in the passing game, Singletary has not shown the same ability, either in Houston or during his time in Buffalo. In five NFL seasons, Singletary has never exceeded 40 receptions and has a career-high of just seven rushing touchdowns.
The "somebody has to run the ball" narrative will keep Singletary on draft boards, and he may be seen as a fallback option for zero-RB builds, but he's probably not a back to be very excited about. He hasn't proven to be a particularly valuable fantasy contributor in excellent offenses, and the Giants are expected to be below average.

 Giants' RB Tyrone Tracy suffers low-ankle sprain
Week-to-Week
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Aug 13, 4:06 pm
|  | #Giants rookie RB Tyrone Tracy Jr., who is primed to get significant playing time in the backfield and was carted off the field on Tuesday, was diagnosed with a low-ankle sprain, sources say. Much better than anticipated.
He’s in a boot and is week-to-week. But not long-term. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Tracy seemed to have the leg up in the battle for the back-up running back job for the Giants. Eric Gray should get that work for the remainder of camp with Devin Singletary slated to be the Week 1 starter.
