Penn State Nittany Lions
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Singleton had an excellent freshman season where he saw a good amount of work and did not disappoint. The freshman has explosive potential, racking up 22 plays of 10-plus-yard rushes and 16 carries of 15 yards or more. That breakaway ability was on full display in his 87-yard Rosel Bowl run, and he should see a healthy share of the workload again in 2023 alongside Kaytron Allen. Singles closed out 2022 with a total of 156 carries, 1,061 yards, 12 touchdowns on the ground and another 11 grabs for 85 yards and one touchdown as a receiver. He also was consistent as a returner, where he had 14 attempts for 349 yards and a touchdown. His 4.17 yards after contact per attempt also ranked 12th-best in the country, highlighting Singleton's ability to shed tacklers and continue to grind out yardage. There's little reason to anticipate a dropoff in production in year two, and it wouldn't be shocking if he improves on his freshman output. Read Past Outlooks
Logs 136 yards and touchdown
January 4, 2024
Singleton posted eight carries for 50 yards and gathered in 4 of 5 targets for 86 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-25 loss to Mississippi.
ANALYSIS
Singleton had a big day during Saturday's Peach Bowl, but the Nittany Lions came up short against Mississippi. The 6-foot sophomore will close out the 2023 season with 171 carries for 752 yards and eight touchdowns, along with 26 receptions for 308 yards and two additional scores. Singleton is expected to explore the NFL Draft process this offseason.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Our highest-rated true freshman, Singleton has a chance to be a fantasy force right away. The consensus No.1 back in the 2022 class, Singleton enters a backfield that is sorely in need of a go-to player after combining for 1,150 yards on 3.9 YPC last year. The second-leading rusher, Noah Cain, is gone, so there is ample opportunity up for grabs. It’s unfair to lob Saquon Barkley comparisons at Singleton, but he is uber-talented and should push for the starting role behind a strong offensive line. He’s not just the top freshman back, but he’s viable as an RB2 in drafts.
