Chris Rodriguez Jr. vs Devin Singletary: The Full Breakdown
Chris Rodriguez Jr. and Devin Singletary are both viable fantasy running backs heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Chris Rodriguez Jr. averaged 7.5 PPG across 12 games with the Washington Commanders, while Devin Singletary posted 5.9 PPG in 17 appearances for the New York Giants.
A 1.6-PPG gap gives Chris Rodriguez Jr. the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Chris Rodriguez Jr. ran for 500 yards and 6 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.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Chris Rodriguez Jr. sits Week 7 while Devin Singletary is off Week 8. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
