Practice notes from Thursday: RB Devin Singletary practiced for the first time since injuring his hamstring against the Giants in week 2. It didn't appear to be in limited fashion but either way, it's an important development for one of the Bills' best offensive playmakers ...

We'll know later when the team has to issue their official practice report, but I'm not sure how a reporter would know whether he was limited or not as the media does not have access to much beyond warm-ups and a few individual drillshttps://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41078079-4

Hope they're not rushing him along for NE. It's so early, and there are playoffs to be had.

Great news.
I wouldn't start him this week anyway.
I also wonder how much usage Gore will get moving forward as I have both (and don't wanna keep both).

Agreed, but it's a huge divisional game for the Bills with both teams at 3-0, and Singletary is clearly a playmaker.

Footballguy
I have them both, too. The way they've been using Gore, as ageless as he is, he's going to hit the wall pretty soon at this pace IMO.

I have a spot I own him in where I also won't start him, but only because I have other better options. Otherwise if he is healthy and plays it would seem like a good week to start him.

Oh yeah, sure, but as someone who rosters him I'd hope they'd listen to my voice in the wilderness telling them it wasn't really that important of a game.

The Bills have been pretty conservative dealing with injuries this year so far. If they play him, I would feel pretty comfortable assuming there's no risk of further injury.

Cool. I'd imagine they're thinking of the long haul. Or, I hope they would, not even jokingly for my fantasy team, but for their playoff hope's sake.

Yeah, I'm actually shocked by this. I was hoping to have him back for TEN the following week but even pessimistic on that one because the bye is so close.
Edit: It looks like Feliciano (RG) might be able to go too, which helps the whole offense.

In the same boat in a couple of leagues, it sucks. They're going to limit each other's upside and you have to use 2 roster spots on the Bills backfield. I don't see Gore going away until later in the season though. I just hope McDermott gets creative and finds way to get the ball into Singletary's hands through the ground or the air even if he's only playing around 50% of the snaps. 10+ touches a game with an uptick to 15+ down the stretch would be ideal.

Agreed, but it may have been last week with him capable of playing and they decided to give a full week and be 100. And if he is without limitation today, how he feels tomorrow and Saturday are huge.rockaction said:

Yeah seems like he picked something up yesterday. I don’t know if I love just hoping the chargers blow them out and rest ekeler early enough for Jackson anyways. Especially with MG3 coming back soon
rockaction
Footballguy
Yeah, I can see that. I'm not pushing you in any way, by the way, I was just making sure you knew his status.

Just read he’s in a walking boot. So it’ll be a true coin flip for me if singletary plays. Him or Darrel!

Bills RB Devin Singletary (Hamstring) not Expected to Play Vs. Patriots
Singletary is likely to miss his second straight game due to a hamstring injury. In the rookie’s absence last week, the ageless Frank Gore was efficient on his 14 carries, turning them into 76 yards and a score. Gore and T.J. Yeldon are less attractive today vs. the Patriots, however, who rank first in rush DVOA in 2019. With the Bills projected to score just 17.75 points, these RBs are not viable DFS options this week as seven-point dogs vs. an elite defense.

Good for him and the bye.
Would be looking to acquire him everywhere before he gets back.

Not expecting much but I am kinda forced to use him if he plays Sunday.

This really feels similar to the Chubb situation last season. He got very few carries early on even though he was clearly the best back in the team. Hopefully, Singletary takes over just as Chubb did.

He's out, and I believe it's because of the rain. I think we all expect him to be good to go after the bye.
The General

I assume he's back now? Any updates.

He should be back. That's the hype at least here in Buffalo. Nice schedule coming up. Trying to buy where I can. Somebody wanted Brandin Cooks and a defensive player for him in my one league though.

It crossed my mind. My issue was it left me dangerously thin @ WR. I haven't declined yet.

We think this guy gets more involved right?

He was trending that way before the hammy.
If he’s back for real back, he’s flex-worthy for his receiving game potential alone. Kid’s a talent & a threat to score any time he touches the ball, so 8-12 touches has potential.
Stompin' Tom Connors
Footballguy
Has anything official about his playing status been released?
Agree that he'll be worked back slowly, but think he may be primed for a solid second half.
Was just offered Singletary for Sutton, so wondering about any further news of Singletary's progression.

no, but returning to practice is a big sign for this kind of injury. With a hammy or groin, I’ve always found it’s all or nothing. If he’s on the practice field running around he’s likely past the injury. They held him out longer than I’d expected, which is probably smart for the nature of the injury.
agreed. Gore is not ageless, and while I don’t really expect him to break down because he’s superhuman, even he gets bumps & bruises. They were a full blown committee, with Singletary looking like the better PPR play before the hammy.
not sure if they dive right back into that, but he gives then another receiving weapon. I don’t need him this week, but I’ve got some BYEs coming up & he should make a solid flex or RB2 play.
That’s super close. I have Sutton in dynasty & love the dude. He’s held back by Flacco a bit this year. In this case it depends entirely on your depth at WR & need for a RB. If Sutton is your WR3-4 & you have a suitable replacement, I think you make that deal.
if you need a guy this week, I’d wait to see the practice reports first. If he’s full, go for it. If he’s still limited, maybe wait a week.

There is one week that due to byes I may need to play both Gore and Singletary. Could be a worse matchup for that.
