The Bottom Line

Devin Singletary is the better fantasy play this season.

This one is genuinely close. Devin Singletary edges Ty Johnson by 0.7 PPG, but both are in the same production tier. The decision comes down to weekly matchup, not season-long resume. If you are choosing between them in a draft, Devin Singletary goes slightly earlier based on volume, but do not reach for the difference.

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

Fantasy Tiers

Devin Singletary: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #55 at the position). Ty Johnson: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #99 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Devin Singletary is producing at 27% of elite pace and Ty Johnson at 24%. That ranking gap means Devin Singletary carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Devin Singletary vs Ty Johnson: The Full Breakdown

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Devin Singletary finished the 2025 season at 5.9 PPG over 17 games with the New York Giants, while Ty Johnson clocked in at 5.2 across 17 appearances for the Buffalo Bills. A 0.7-point gap means any given week could go either way.

With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Devin Singletary ran for 437 yards and 5 touchdowns; Ty Johnson posted 200 and 3. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

One scheduling note: Devin Singletary is off Week 8 and Ty Johnson Week 12. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

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. Ty Johnson (age 28, 7 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value.
