Fantasy Tiers

Devin Singletary: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #55 at the position). Jerome Ford: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #99 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Devin Singletary is producing at 27% of elite pace and Jerome Ford at 38%. That ranking gap means Devin Singletary carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Devin Singletary vs Jerome Ford: The Full Breakdown

Deciding between Devin Singletary and Jerome Ford is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The New York Giants running back put up 5.9 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Jerome Ford of the Cleveland Browns averaged 8.4 in 15. A 2.5-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 2.5 points favors Jerome Ford, 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. Devin Singletary ran for 437 yards and 5 touchdowns; Jerome Ford posted 582 and 3. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

One scheduling note: Devin Singletary is off Week 8 and Jerome Ford Week 10. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

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. Jerome Ford (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open.
