Devin Singletary vs Nick Chubb: The Full Breakdown

The gap between Devin Singletary and Nick Chubb is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 0.4 PPG in 2025, this is one of those running back decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Devin Singletary averaged 5.9 PPG with the New York Giants across 17 games, and Nick Chubb posted 5.5 with the Houston Texans in 15.

When two running backs are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Devin Singletary ran for 437 yards and 5 touchdowns; Nick Chubb posted 506 and 3. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

Both share a Week 8 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.

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. Nick Chubb (age 30, 7 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value.
