Bills Devin Singletary takes advantage of Zack Moss absence

  • July 25, 2022
    Devin Singletary entered the Bills' first preseason game listed as the team's top running back, but his spot atopwas far from secure. Second-year running back Zack Mo s was breathing down his neck after a solidrookie campaign.

    Singletary, though, got Nick Martini Jersey anopportunity to stake his claim for the starting job Friday. Mo s was out for the Bills' first preseason game because of a hamstring injury. That gave Singletary a chance to pull ahead in the position battle.

    Singletary did not mi s his chance. He started the gamewith a slippery 15-yard run andcontinued to rip off chunks of yardageincluding a 16-yard gain that Tony Gwynn Jersey was wiped out by a holding penalty in the first half.He also caught his only targetof the night and turnedit into aneasy touchdown.

    Singletary finished with 42 rushing yards on eight carries and the 6-yard TD reception. He was smooth and dynamic as he demonstrated a form that was closer to that ofhis 2019 rookie season, when he racked up 775 rushing yards and averaged5.1 yards per carry. It wasjust the performance he needed to take advantage of Mo s' absence.

    FANTASY:

    Mo s came into this season looking for a bigger role, and he had a case for one. He hadsimilar production to Singletary in 2020 but played just 37 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps compared to Singletary's 57 Dave Winfield Jersey percent.

    Mo smi sed three games with ankle and toe injuries, so that was part of why he saw fewer snaps than Singletary.That's also why it was expected that a healthy Mo s could split carries with Singletary in 2021.

    Mo swas feeling healthy entering campas he moved farther away from the injuries that troubled him as a rookie. He felt he was ready to take a step forward.

    "I just want to get better overall," at the beginning of training camp. "I think I did a lot of good things last year and I did things that I wasn't so happy about Cal Quantrill Jersey last year. I definitely want to take all those things and just kind of just mash them together and just overall try to Fernando Tatis Jr. Jersey help this team get over that hump."

    But after mi sing the preseason opener, the pre sure will be on Mo s to return to the field and match Singletary. While the end result may be a backfield-by-committee approach, Singletarylooks like a feature back with the first third of the preseason in the books.
