The New York Giants will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Devin Singletary.
Is Devin Singletary Playing in Week 8?
Since the Giants play on Monday Night Football, the first injury isn’t released until Thursday afternoon. Check back Thursday evening for the latest updates.
We’ll continue to monitor the Giants’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Devin Singletary in Week 8?
After missing nearly a month, Singletary returned just in time to see his offensive line get bullied for 60 minutes. His six touches against the Eagles totaled just 21 yards against the Eagles, but that’s not my primary concern. The touch count was the result of the game flow, but the fact that he didn’t get a carry until New York’s fourth drive was a red flag.
I don’t think there are many usable weeks left for the Giants’ backfield and even fewer for Singletary. Tracy is my highest-ranked NYG RB this week, but neither of them ranks inside of my top 30 at the position.

New York Giants at Pittsburgh Steelers Insights
New York Giants
Team: The Giants haven’t won a Week 8 game in a decade (seven straight losses), but their last such win came in the state of Pennsylvania – the three-headed monster of Eli Manning, Peyton Hillis, and Victor Cruz led New York over Matt Barkley’s Eagles in 2013.
QB: Daniel Jones’ out-of-pocket completion rate sits at a career-low 44.4%, with just 16.7% of such attempts resulting in a first down.
Offense: The Giants have scored a touchdown on just 11.8% of their possessions this season (12.6% last season), putting them on pace for their worst showing since the 2003 team scored a touchdown on 11.2% of drives.
Defense: The Giants have intercepted just 0.5% of passes this season, a rate that is better than only the Jaguars (0.4%).
Fantasy: Malik Nabers didn’t produce for his fantasy managers in his return to action last week, and this is a tough matchup, but 72.8% of yards gained against the Steelers come through the air, the third-highest rate in the league).
Betting: New York has covered three straight long-rest games, and over tickets have come through for all three.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Team: The Steelers are starting drives, on average, on their 32.4-yard line, the fourth-best average starting field position in the NFL.
QB: Russell Wilson averaged 0.23 EPA per dropback in his Steelers debut. Justin Fields has hit that mark just five times in 46 career games (his high-water mark in his six Steelers games was 0.17).
Offense: The Steelers have scored 32 and 37 points in the last two weeks after averaging 18.4 PPG over their first five weeks. Pittsburgh will try to score 30+ points in three straight games for the first time since 2015 (had a six-game streak from Weeks 9-15 that year).
Defense: The Steelers have yet to allow a point in the third quarter this season (outscoring teams 46-0). Pittsburgh is the only team that has not allowed a point in any quarter this season.
Fantasy: Russell Wilson scored 24.9 fantasy points against the Jets on Sunday Night – his most fantasy points scored in a game in 400 days and the most a QB has scored against the Jets in 1,388 days (Tom Brady, Week 17, 2021).
Betting: The Steelers have covered seven of their past eight long-rest spots (average cover margin: +4.5 points).
