Nicholas Singleton Cleared to Resume Running

Penn State running back Nicholas Singleton (foot), who broke the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during the Senior Bowl in January, has been medically cleared and has resumed running, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Now that he's healthy, Singleton is projected to be a mid-round pick in the 2026 NFL draft next weekend. The 22-year-old had two 1,000-yard seasons and 45 total rushing touchdowns in his four-year career with the Nittany Lions in college. He had a career-low 549 rushing yards on 123 carries in 12 games last year, but he added a career-high 13 rushing touchdowns as well and caught 24 passes for 219 yards and an additional TD through the air. Singleton is athletic, but he's considered more of a third- or fourth-rounder and boom/bust asset, depending on where he lands in the NFL. He has top-end speed and great burst/acceleration, but in the short-term for fantasy, Singleton will most likely be a change-of-pace/third-down back.
