Devin Singletary vs Kareem HuntWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

Kareem Hunt is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 8.0 PPG to Devin Singletary's 5.9 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

Kareem Hunt is the better fantasy play this season.

Kareem Hunt has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 2.1-PPG advantage is real (8.0 to 5.9), and Kareem Hunt's 9 touchdowns show scoring upside. Devin Singletary is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Moderate confidence: stats favor the leader, but matchup variance could flip this weekly.

Fantasy Tiers

Devin Singletary: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #55 at the position). Kareem Hunt: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #39 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Devin Singletary is producing at 27% of elite pace and Kareem Hunt at 36%. That ranking gap means Kareem Hunt carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Devin Singletary vs Kareem Hunt: The Full Breakdown

Devin Singletary and Kareem Hunt are both viable fantasy running backs heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Devin Singletary averaged 5.9 PPG across 17 games with the New York Giants, while Kareem Hunt posted 8.0 PPG in 17 appearances for the Kansas City Chiefs.

A 2.1-PPG gap gives Kareem Hunt 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. Devin Singletary ran for 437 yards and 5 touchdowns; Kareem Hunt posted 611 and 8. 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: Devin Singletary sits Week 8 while Kareem Hunt is off Week 5. 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

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. Kareem Hunt (age 30, 8 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value.
