Devin Singletary vs Zonovan KnightWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

Zonovan Knight is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 6.8 PPG to Devin Singletary's 5.9 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

Zonovan Knight is the better fantasy play this season.

This one is genuinely close. Zonovan Knight edges Devin Singletary by 0.9 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, Zonovan Knight 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). Zonovan Knight: 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 Zonovan Knight at 31%. That ranking gap means Devin Singletary carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Devin Singletary vs Zonovan Knight: The Full Breakdown

The gap between Devin Singletary and Zonovan Knight is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 0.9 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 Zonovan Knight posted 6.8 with the Arizona Cardinals in 12.

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; Zonovan Knight posted 269 and 4. 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 Zonovan Knight rests in Week 11. 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

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. Zonovan Knight (age 25) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
