Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice: Nick Singleton
The 5th Round proved to be a fruitful spot for potential impact rookie running backs. There’s a clear opportunity for Singleton to carve out an immediate role in Tennessee. Tony Pollard, now 28 and entering a contract year, could see some of his workload shift as the team evaluates its long-term backfield plans. Singleton isn’t a slouch as receiving threat but he is more known for his ability as a rusher and his nose for the end zone. Over his last two seasons at Penn State, he scored 31 rushing touchdowns. I would not be surprised if he nudges Pollard out at some point in 2026, especially if Tennessee falls out of playoff contention and starts looking at the young guys on its roster.

DBro’s NFL Draft Scouting Report & Player Comp: Nick Singleton
Scouting Report:
- Singleton can be tentative at the line at times. He’ll operate in a gap scheme more efficiently with clear running lanes with the play design (53% gap runs over his final two collegiate seasons). His vision isn’t horrible down-to-down, but it’s an area that could use some cleaning up.
- Singleton is a linear player who isn’t a violent or explosive mover when changing directions. His steps can get choppy at times as he loses speed in the process. Singleton isn’t a player who will juke you out of your socks. He’s a runner that isn’t going to create a ton of yards on his own.
- Singleton is a high-cut runner with the necessary upper-body strength to break loose wraps and tacklers that attack him high. The other side of the coin is also true, though. Singleton can be chopped down by tacklers aiming at his waist and below.
- Singleton has solid pass-pro skills. He works with a strong base. Singleton has plenty of reps where he stands up incoming rushers or redirects them out of the quarterback’s wheelhouse. With 173 collegiate pass blocking snaps, he allowed only three sacks and ten hurries.
- Singleton is an adequate check-down option in the passing game. He finished top 24 in yards per route run among backs in two of his final three collegiate seasons. He lacks the change of direction ability and explosive short area agility to become a true pass game weapon with a varied route tree, but he should easily be a trusted option with swings and flat routes. Singleton cleaned up drops in his final season with only one after posting a 7.1% or higher drop rate in each of the previous three seasons.
