Devin Singletary 2019 Outlook
The Bills selected Singletary in the third round of the NFL Draft, and he will compete for the backup role behind LeSean McCoy right away. Buffalo also has Frank Gore and T.J. Yeldon on the roster, but Singletary should be given the best chance to play behind McCoy -- and possibly in tandem. As CBSSports.com noted, the newcomer looks like a McCoy clone, and he could be the eventual starter for the Bills. That could even happen this year, although McCoy, Gore and Yeldon represent a considerable hurdle (and financial investment on the team’s part). Whatever the case, Singletary was a touchdown machine in college despite his diminutive size. In his career he finished with 66 rushing touchdowns. In 2017 he led the nation with 32 rushing TDs, tied for the most carries (301) and ranked fourth in the country with 1,920 yards, a season which culminated in a second-team AP All-American award. He followed that season up with 261 carries for 1,348 yards and 22 rushing touchdowns making him a first-team Conference USA selection. So, the history of production is there even if the immediate and clear path to a workload is not. Bottom line? Singletary is gold in dynasty formats but a definite reach in redraft.
