Devin Singletary vs Joe Mixon: The Full Breakdown
Joe Mixon and Devin Singletary are at different tiers heading into 2026. The Houston Texans running back averaged 16.5 PPG in 2025, a full 10.6 points per game ahead of Devin Singletary's 5.9 with the New York Giants. That kind of gap doesn't close on matchup alone.
That 10.6-point weekly advantage for Joe Mixon is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Devin Singletary ran for 437 yards and 5 touchdowns; Joe Mixon posted 1165 and 11. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Devin Singletary has his bye in Week 8, and Joe Mixon rests in Week 14. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
