Devin Singletary vs Travis Etienne: The Full Breakdown

Travis Etienne and Devin Singletary are at different tiers heading into 2026. The Jacksonville Jaguars running back averaged 13.9 PPG in 2025, a full 8.0 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.

The per-game difference of 8.0 points favors Travis Etienne, 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; Travis Etienne posted 1107 and 7. 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 Travis Etienne rests in Week 7. 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

Travis Etienne is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Devin Singletary is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: Devin Singletary (age 28, 6 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value. Travis Etienne (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open.
