Devin Singletary vs Nick ChubbWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

DraftCall Analytics

It is nearly a coin flip, but lean Devin Singletary over Nick Chubb in 2026.

Devin Singletary (5.9 PPG) and Nick Chubb (5.5) finished 2025 separated by under a point per game. Both play running backs, so that per-game gap is the cleanest tiebreaker for a 2026 start or sit. Both land in Tier 6 at the position, so this is closer than the raw gap suggests.

The Bottom Line

Statistically, Devin Singletary and Nick Chubb are interchangeable on a season-long basis. The 0.4-PPG gap is one broken play per game. For weekly start/sit calls, check opponent defense and recent form before defaulting to the name.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.

Devin Singletary vs Nick Chubb: The Full Breakdown

The gap between Devin Singletary and Nick Chubb is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 0.4 PPG in 2025, this is one of those running back decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Devin Singletary averaged 5.9 PPG with the New York Giants across 17 games, and Nick Chubb posted 5.5 with the Houston Texans in 15.

When two running backs are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Devin Singletary ran for 437 yards and 5 touchdowns; Nick Chubb posted 506 and 3. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

Both share a Week 8 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Devin Singletary (age 28, 6 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value. Nick Chubb (age 30, 7 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value.
