Devin Singletary's fantasy role in Week 8

Devin Singletary goes into Week 8 of the 2026 season as a deep-league RB flyer for the NYG. He is rostered in 3% of leagues and actually started in 0% of them, and we rank him RB43 on our own weekly board at 4.7 projected points.

Interest is climbing — roster rates moved up about 1% over the last week, which usually means managers are reacting to a bigger snap or target share.

No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.

Week 8 matchup breakdown

The NYG are on bye in Week 8, so there is no matchup to grade. Anyone holding him needs a one-week fill-in from the waiver wire.

How to play it

Devin Singletary is on bye in Week 8 — replace him and revisit next week.

Use the waiver wire for a one-week plug and keep him on your bench if you are otherwise healthy at RB.

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Devin Singletary (NYG RB), our RB43 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 4.7 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 6.3 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. Nothing in the projection defends him — 57% below positional par is a bench line for me. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.

Tina's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Devin Singletary (NYG RB), our RB43 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 4.7 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 6.3 points of shortfall. 4.7 points is roughly 57% short of the RB baseline, and I honestly rank on output, not name recognition. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
