Bottom Line

Singletary signed a one-year deal worth just $2.75 million. That alone isn’t enough to guarantee a big role.

But he’s well set up to grab a significant share of work as the Texans’ likely No. 2 RB. And how big that share can be depends on multiple unknowns, including:

  • New coaching staff, including first-time OC
  • Offense with many new players, including QB and multiple RBs
  • Team success

As long as his ADP doesn’t climb out of RB4 range, Singletary makes sense as a reserve option across formats.

What We Learned Last Year
  • Singletary closed out four years as a work-share back with the Bills.
    • His career high (so far) in carries per game was the 12.6 of his rookie year.
    • Singletary then hit his low mark of 9.8 in 2020 before averaging 11.1 each of the past two years.
    • He averaged 2.4 receptions per game each of his four years.
  • Singletary posted his two best Pro Football Focus rushing grades the past two years. His rankings by year in that category (among 70+ carry RBs):
    • T-14th
    • 35th
    • 11th
    • 10th
  • He has proved consistently solid as a runner by other metrics as well. That includes finishing in positive territory in rushing yards over expected each year.
    • Singletary ranked 17th among 48 qualifying RBs at 0.43 RYOE per carry in 2019.
    • The three years since produced rates of 0.29, 0.28, and 0.15.
    • Dameon Pierce went for 0.37 last year (24th of 48), albeit in a different offense.
  • Singletary hasn’t rated well as a receiver.
    • His Football Outsiders’ receiving DVOA has rated below the average level in each of his four seasons.
    • Singletary’s career-best yards-per-route (0.89) tied for just 53rd among 59 RBs with 20+ targets back in his rookie year (2019).
    • His best PFF receiving grade came last season, and tied for just 38th among 61 RBs with 20+ targets.
  • Singletary did dramatically improve his pass-blocking grade in 2022.
    • After ranking no higher than 34th at the position through three seasons, he checked in 10th. And Singletary did so on the third-most pass-blocking reps among all RBs.
What to Expect in 2023
  • This year’s Texans are sure to spread the backfield work more than last year’s version. Dameon Pierce drew 74% of carries over his 13 games. That would sit at or near the top of the league any season.
  • Houston is also likely to lean at least a bit more toward the run than last year. The 2022 Texans ran on 39.2% of plays, the league’s eighth-lowest rate.
    • New HC Demeco Ryans and OC Bobby Slowik come from Kyle Shanahan’s 49ers staff. Just one of the six Niners teams they helped coach ran on less than 41.8% of plays.
    • Overall, those teams averaged 43.8% run.
    • This year’s rushing volume in Houston will also depend some on the success of the Texans’ offense and team overall. More leading/winning = more rushing.
  • Singletary’s most likely edge vs. Pierce comes in the passing game. Neither has impressed as a receiver so far, but Singletary is coming off a good year in pass protection. That should prove especially attractive to a coaching staff breaking in rookie QB C.J. Stroud.
  • Pierce did, at least, impress coaches and teammates with his improvement in pass protection through early workouts this spring.
  • Mike Boone is the other backfield import. He signed a two-year deal, but that includes just $300,000 in guarantees. Boone has flashed ability at times but has just 99 carries and 18 catches through five pro seasons. He’s unlikely to be a significant factor.

Devin Singletary, RB HOU

12:14am EST 11/27/23

Devin Singletary continues to lead receiving work

Texans RB Devin Singletary remained the backfield leader in fantasy scoring in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. But it came from his lead in receiving work. Singletary ranked second on the team in receptions (6) and receiving yards (54) and third in targets (7) in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. He split the rushing work near-evenly with Dameon Pierce in the latter's return from injury. Pierce carried five times to Singletary's six and drew 1 target. (He caught it for 4 yards.) The receiving lead makes Singletary the play over his backfield mate. But the split makes Sinlgetary unattractive as a fantasy option.

Texans RB Dameon Pierce (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. He was a full-go in practice all week, so we’re not expecting the ankle to be much of an issue. OC Bobby Slowik said this week that Pierce and RB Devin Singletary will go back to sharing the workload, although we’re expecting Singletary to lead the way coming off two strong outings. See where the Texans RBs sit in the Week 12 Rankings.

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Texans RB Dameon Pierce (ankle) is expected to play vs. the Jaguars today. Pierce is listed as questionable but was a full-go in practice all week. We're expecting Pierce to return as the 1B in Houston's committee backfield. See where Pierce and Devin Singletary sit in the Week 12 RB Rankings.

Texans RB Dameon Pierce (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. He was a full-go in practice all week, so we’re fully expecting him to play. OC Bobby Slowik confirmed earlier this week that Pierce and RB Devin Singletary will go back to sharing the workload. Singletary deserves to lead the backfield after his strong play the past two weeks, but he’s just a RB3 in fantasy lineups assuming Pierce plays on Sunday.

Texans RB Dameon Pierce (ankle) was a full-go in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. It's tough to imagine Pierce being reinstalled as lead back considering how awesome RB Devin Singletary has been the past two weeks. But Pierce will certainly cut into Singletary's workload. See where both guys sit in the Week 12 RB Rankings.

Dynasty Write-up
The Bills tried to sign J.D. McKissic last offseason and then drafted James Cook in Round 2. While Singletary proceeded to keep his grip on the lead role for most of 2022, Buffalo allowed him to test free agency in March. The 26-year-old (in September) inked a 1-year deal with Houston, where he'll likely be the 1B alongside Dameon Pierce.
