Devin Singletary, welcome to RB1 of the Buffalo Bills

Welcome, Mr Singletary! I have a feeling this kid is going to be very, VERY good. 

I know no one cares about other people's fantasy teams, but I'm lucky enough to live on the west coast and wake up early for work. Thus, I was able to add Singletary on waivers before my league-mates heard the McCoy release news.

I wonder if he takes #25?


Yeah. He needs to not be #40, no matter what.

Jumping the gun here I think. I wouldn't be shocked if Gore starts and actually gets more total touches than Singletary. 

I dont see Gore getting more touches than the kid

I thought Gore looked pretty good. And is the kid ready to pass protect consistently? I'd be shocked if Gore doesn't start the first game. I guess we will see where things go from there.

How’s Gore going to look after a few games though, I think he only has value in a limited role.

Just picked him up in fantasy since no one outside Buffalo has him on the radar.  Fantastic!  Get him RB1 touches!

 

Singletary was taken in the last round in my league. I took McCoy with the thought that there was a chance he could play for a different team this year and get a more consistent workload. We'll see. If he were to some how end up in Dallas or with the Chargers while Zeke and Gordon hold out it could be a nice start to the season for him. Or maybe end up in Houston with DeShaun Watson. Or maybe he could end up in San Francisco. Heck, there are a lot of places he could end up.

 

This could actually make Gore worth a pick up too now.

Call me a little old fashioned, but I still think Gore should start for a few games and work Devin into the starting role.  If he were like Barkley, I would say all in.  But I'm always nervous about a Darren Sproles sized RB on this league.

I think Gore will play a lot, esp from a blocking standpoint

I was waiting for somebody else to say it but I was wondering about this.... I’m not so sure the rookie is “the guy” right out of the gates like everyone seems to assume.

Neither one is going to be an every down back.

Darren Sproles could flat out fly. Singletary not so much. Not sure where this "top end burst" narrative is coming from.

I like Singletary a lot, he has a cool style. I'm not sure I see that translating into high end RB1 numbers though. He's just too slow.

 

Can he pass block?

 

Hes shown that he’s a legit passing weapon.   His entire college career, he just finds the end zone and he did that in the preseason.  He’s also going to turn a lot of runs from 2-3 yards to 8-12 yards.    

 

I wasnt a fan of the pick, but he’s impressed.

I would be shocked. Gore is going to get roughly 15-20% of the snaps. Singletary will get 50-60% of the snaps. The rest will be split among the other backs.

Our new Travis Henry? Our new Joe Cribbs? Terry Miller? 

I’d gladly take any one of them in Singletary!

I see some Joe Cribbs going on once he got his wheels turning.
