Titans' Nicholas Singleton: Logs zero offensive snaps Sunday
Rotowire
Singleton didn't get a carry or a target in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Giants.
Though head coach Robert Saleh suggested near the end of the week that Singleton could get more carries in Week 3, the rookie running back didn't end up seeing any action at all on offense. He did record 10 snaps on special teams, but that probably wasn't what fantasy managers had in mind if they picked him up based on Saleh's statement. It appears that Singleton isn't immediately going to have a significant role in the backfield in games during which Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are both healthy.

Titans' Nicholas Singleton: Could see more involvement Week 3
Rotowire
Head coach Robert Saleh indicated Friday that the Titans will give Singleton more carries in the team's Week 3 road tilt against the Giants on Sunday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
The rookie fifth-rounder has taken a back seat to both Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears, with Singleton being a healthy scratch Week 1 before logging four carries for 10 yards during the Titans' Week 2 loss against the Eagles. Spears is questionable for Sunday's game due to an ankle injury, and his absence would open the door for Singleton to operate as the Titans' RB2 behind Pollard. That said, even if Spears is cleared to play, it sounds like the Titans' coaching staff wants Singleton more involved in the offense.

Titans' Nicholas Singleton: Inactive for Week 1
Rotowire
Singleton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.
The rookie fifth-rounder will be a healthy scratch Week 1 while the Titans role with three active running backs in Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears and Julius Chestnut. Singleton's next opportunity to make his NFL regular-season debut is Week 2 against the Eagles on Sunday, Sept. 20, though he's unlikely to suit up for that contest unless one of Pollard, Spears or Chestnut is sidelined.

Titans' Nicholas Singleton: Tallies 44 scrimmage yards Saturday
Rotowire
Singleton rushed seven times for 26 yards and brought in both targets for 18 yards in the Titans' 24-15 preseason loss to the Bears on Saturday.
The rookie fifth-round pick led the team in rush attempts on the night and finished second behind D'Ernest Johnson and quarterback Hendon Hooker in rushing yards. Singleton was the first Tennessee back to log a touch, gaining six yards on a reception on the second play from scrimmage and subsequently netting 18 yards on three consecutive rush attempts to kick off the Titans' second drive. Singleton finished the preseason having rushed 15 times for 57 yards alongside Saturday's 2-18-0 receiving line across two games, and he'll now wait to see if those numbers were enough to garner him the No. 3 running back role.
