Fantasy Tiers

D'Andre Swift: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) RB (ranked #16 at the position). Devin Singletary: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #55 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, D'Andre Swift is producing at 60% of elite pace and Devin Singletary at 27%. That ranking gap means D'Andre Swift carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

D'Andre Swift vs Devin Singletary: The Full Breakdown

The numbers tell a clear story here. D'Andre Swift put up 13.2 fantasy points per game for the Chicago Bears in 2025, while Devin Singletary managed 5.9 across 17 games with the New York Giants. A 7.3-point weekly edge is substantial at the running back position.

A 7.3-PPG gap gives D'Andre Swift 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. D'Andre Swift ran for 1087 yards and 9 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: D'Andre Swift sits Week 10 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.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire D'Andre Swift at a discount because your league-mates undervalue running back production, do it. Devin Singletary is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: D'Andre Swift (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open. Devin Singletary (age 28, 6 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value.
