DraftCall Analytics

It is nearly a coin flip, but lean Devin Singletary over Khalil Herbert in 2026.

Devin Singletary (5.9 PPG) and Khalil Herbert (5.8) finished 2025 separated by under a point per game. Singletary also stayed healthier, playing 17 games to 12, which steadies his weekly floor.

The Bottom Line

Statistically, Devin Singletary and Khalil Herbert are interchangeable on a season-long basis. The 0.1-PPG gap is one broken play per game. For weekly start/sit calls, check opponent defense and recent form before defaulting to the name.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.

Fantasy Tiers

Devin Singletary: Tier 6 (Deep League) RB (ranked #55 at the position). Khalil Herbert: Unranked RB. Among the top 50 running backs this season, Devin Singletary is producing at 27% of elite pace and Khalil Herbert at 26%. Their per-game production is close enough that weekly matchup should dictate your start.

Devin Singletary vs Khalil Herbert: The Full Breakdown

Devin Singletary (5.9 PPG) and Khalil Herbert (5.8 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two running backs are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. Devin Singletary played 17 games for the New York Giants; Khalil Herbert suited up 12 times for the Cincinnati Bengals.

A 0.1-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Devin Singletary ran for 437 yards and 5 touchdowns; Khalil Herbert posted 248 and 2. 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 Khalil Herbert is off Week 12. 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 29, 6 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value. Khalil Herbert (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open.
