Alvin Kamara vs Devin Singletary: The Full Breakdown

Deciding between Alvin Kamara and Devin Singletary is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The New Orleans Saints running back put up 7.7 PPG in 2025 over 11 games; Devin Singletary of the New York Giants averaged 5.9 in 17. A 1.8-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 1.8 points favors Alvin Kamara, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one running back to the other.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Alvin Kamara ran for 471 yards and 1 touchdowns; Devin Singletary posted 437 and 5. 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: Alvin Kamara (age 30, 8 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value. Devin Singletary (age 28, 6 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value.
