Fantasy Football: Buffalo Bills Top 4 options in 2020

3. Devin Singletary

The third fantasy option from the Buffalo Bills is running back Devin Singletary, entering his second season in the NFL. While Singletary did not crack the Top 100 fantasy scorers his rookie season, he did finish as the 32nd highest fantasy scoring running back in 2019, according to ESPN Standard Scoring. This placement retrospectively warrants Singletary as a consistent FLEX option from the 2019 season, but based on his 2019 stats, there is a strong chance he could be a strong RB2 option for 2020 fantasy owners.

In 2019, Singletary managed to average over five yards per carry on just 151 carries, but the real value of Singletary comes in the passing game where he was targeted 41 times with 29 receptions, 194 yards and 2 touchdowns. To finish 2019 where Singletary did with only four total touchdowns just goes to show how efficient he was in fantasy play without getting those crucial six points per touchdown. Singletary is a consistent contributor for the Bills offense and the addition of Zack Moss in the draft should not shy fantasy owners away from drafting Singletary. In comparison, Singletary finished the 2019 season with 15 less carries than the established veteran Frank Gore but managed to score 53 more fantasy points.

For Devin Singletary, 2019 was about acclimating to the NFL, staying healthy and carving out his role on the team. To be as efficient as he was during his rookie season should make fantasy owners confident that he can get even more points in 2020. Zack Moss will take some carries away from Singletary, but with this unorthodox off-season, Moss shouldn’t eat into Singletary’s workload too much until the second half of the season. Even if Singletary does split work in the backfield from the get-go, his absolute lowest floor would still be as a FLEX option.
