Game Script Dooms Devin Singletary Sunday

11 months ago

Houston Texans running back Devin Singletary was phased out of the game plan in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Cleveland Browns, taking nine carries for 44 yards with three catches for 19 yards. The final score doesn't tell the story of how overmatched this Texans appeared in Week 16 without starting quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion), as Houston snuck in a few garbage-time touchdowns. Singletary ran well when handed the chance, just as he has for the past month and a half, but he didn't stand much of a chance at ample production given the extreme level of negative game script. Still, the former Buffalo Bill can cap off his run as a difference-making midseason fantasy pickup with a strong display as the team's lead back at home versus the Tennessee Titans for fantasy-championship week next Sunday. Dameon Pierce scored on a 98-yard kickoff return but had just four touches on Sunday, keeping Singletary in the RB2 vicinity for Week 17.
