Bucky Irving vs Devin Singletary: Who Should You Start?
There is a real production gap between these two running backs. Bucky Irving (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) averaged 12.3 PPG over 10 games in 2025, outscoring Devin Singletary (New York Giants, 5.9 PPG) by 6.4 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
That 6.4-point weekly advantage for Bucky Irving 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. Bucky Irving ran for 588 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 11 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.
