sjm76 769 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 What are the thoughts on Singletary in a 0.5 PPR league? Where would you take him? I ended up taking him in the early 5th as bench depth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hunt is 5'11" 216 lbs and built like a feature back while Singletary is only 5'7" 200 lbs. Both have good ability but Singletary isn't built to take an every-down pounding and will likely be in a committee with the rookie Zack Moss this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlayTheWaivers 1,886 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 When the entire world has a take that Singletary will get low calorie touches, lack of goal line, maybe even lack of receptions (and I mean the entire world, and every fantasy "expert"), I think we should all draft him. He's being drafted at his floor right now. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's a bit reckless. Let Devin take a quick drop-off in for a score. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daethfromabove1979 874 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Singletary is an excellent running back and should have a solid year, no doubt about that, but I am avoiding him at his current ADP. Here is why: - limited TD upside with Josh Allen and Zack Moss in the mix. Allen is still going to get a lot of rushing TDs, he's quite good at running it in when he's in the red zone. Sounds like Zack Moss could be more of a short yardage back due to his size. - Singletary could lose receiving work to Moss, Singletary had quite a few drops last year so not super reliable when receiving. Moss is actually a decent receiver too. - I see people always say the Bills are a run first offense but Josh Allen is slinging the ball quite a bit. They should really run the ball more often but I think we will see more passing this year, they will want to get Diggs involved. - doesn't have home run ability, he is super shifty and can miss tackles but his top end speed is poor. He will have lots of chunk runs but probably no big 70 yard TDs or anything crazy. -Zack Moss, the Bills have been so good at drafting recently that I can almost promise this guy will be quite good, they were quite high on him at the draft and nearly traded up to secure him.

The bad practice for Singeltary plus the hype train out of control for Zack Moss (rotoworld isn't helping but they love to pump their own bias). Feeling like my keeper of Singletary will prove to be a waste if he's wally pipped...we'll see though. Kept him for 9th round price so that was whatever. His current ADP is going to fall in the next week or two due to training camp news being overblown. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sjm76 769 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 DEVIN SINGLETARYRB, BUFFALO BILLS The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia reports Devin Singletary has been having "fumbling issues" in Bills camp. Buscaglia has charted Singletary with only two coughups, but they have occurred in "only seven padded practices and not a whole lot of team drills and rushing attempts." Coach Sean McDermott stressed ball security when talking about Singletary on Monday. Singletary had the league's worst fumbling percentage as a rookie. The report comes as rookie Zack Moss continues to generate hype. These are small sample sizes, while Moss needs to do more than just look good in practice, but there is no question that Singletary is a wild card in the RB2/3 range. SOURCE: The Athletic Aug 27, 2020, 4:46 PM ET More negative news about Singletary. I've made sure to take Zack Moss later in recent drafts that I've done as I think he has a chance to take over as the main guy later in the season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magoo 1,504 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I'm not necessarily doubting the writer's repeated Moss is amazing and Singletary meh takes per se but boy do they seem extreme on a certain level. Singletary proved himself last year. And Moss is an unproven rookie. Singletary may be a timeshare back but by the 6th/7th round where he clearly will fall who isn't? For some reason reading these reports makes me think of frozen orange juice stock manipulation and a sh*t eating grin on Dan Akroyd's face. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A plus reference. Two camp fumbles is not going to keep Singletary on the shelf, but he damn sure needs to be secure once the season starts. Moss has some momentum it seems, it might be very little, but if he gets a larger share early in the season he might just be talented enough to hang onto it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeremyt7 101 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I agree, the fumbles are a worry for sure. But I feel the writer on those articles may be Zach Moss father in law or something the way he's pushing Moss. Like I stated before just he seems to be regurgitating old news. I saw somewhere online they created a nick-name for Devin Singletary after this news broke. It was Devin SingleCARRY & Devin FUMBLEtary lmao not gonna lie it made me chuckle. Anyways, I have faith in Singletarys production last year but I urge that he tighten up QUICK or this writer "speaking it into existence" is going to come true. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I'm just in denial? lol Moss no doubt will have a role to begin but I think people are over hyping it so much right now. Some people act like Singletary is just a bum. Lets not forget, Singletary was good second half of the season when he got the reins. My hope is Singletary starts the season fast cause if he doesn't it'll spell trouble cause Moss will be nipping at his ankles.

Magoo 1,504 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) Moss' stature is definitely moreso that of a *feature back* than Singletary but I don't think that necessarily means that he's going to be the automatic guy on 1st or second. Buffalo is creative with their RB usage so instead of this *who is going to be the lead guy* it's probably safer to view this backfield as a red flag volume wise for either guy (and more for Moss unless he explodes). Singletary had the 5th highest yards per carry. And will continue to get room in space because of Allen. I've mostly seen him go in the 6th recently. I feel like the groupthink fade is based on a faulty premise that he's going in the late 4th which is not accurate in recent drafts.

daethfromabove1979 874 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Moss is now ranked higher than Singletary in Yahoo, did not see that coming. I'd rather have Singletary at their current prices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd rather have Singletary at their current prices. Got him for $18 in an auction. In comparison, Bell went for $17 lol no one wanted him at all- can't blame them. To also compare, I got Gordon for $16 and Carson for $33 (this auction was all over the place..) Think he can greatly outperform it, especially if he's upped in the passing game.

PlayTheWaivers 1,886 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 As much as I like Singletary, all of these blurbs are incredibly discouraging. Unless the beat writers have a hard-on for Moss and are trying to pump the breaks on Singletary, I'm really not getting it. Starting to regret paying $19 out of $200 for an auction of him, when Moss went for $4. Although I do think he's a good start Week 1 against the Jets...that Jets offense is going to have immense trouble moving the ball and the Bills project the run the ball a lot that game.

Exactly, the dude keeps reporting about the same fumbles that happned 3/4 weeks ago making it seem like Devin is fumbling every practice lol. I stopped reading about any blurbs from that Beluciaga douche bag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
