The Bottom Line

Najee Harris is the better fantasy play this season.

Najee Harris is clearly the better fantasy option heading into 2026. With 12.8 PPG and 1,235 total yards in 2025, the production separation is too wide to overcome on matchup alone. Devin Singletary (5.9 PPG) is a hold, not a sell, but roster Najee Harris as the starter and Devin Singletary as depth.

High confidence: stats strongly favor the leader, and the gap is unlikely to close on matchup alone.

Devin Singletary vs Najee Harris: The Full Breakdown

Najee Harris and Devin Singletary are at different tiers heading into 2026. The Pittsburgh Steelers running back averaged 12.8 PPG in 2025, a full 6.9 points per game ahead of Devin Singletary's 5.9 with the New York Giants. That kind of gap doesn't close on matchup alone.

Najee Harris carries a 6.9-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Devin Singletary ran for 437 yards and 5 touchdowns; Najee Harris posted 1010 and 6. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

Devin Singletary has his bye in Week 8, and Najee Harris rests in Week 9. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Najee Harris 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: Devin Singletary (age 28, 6 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value. Najee Harris (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open.
