Devin Singletary vs Zonovan Knight: Who Should You Start?
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.
One thing to note: both players share a Week 11 bye. That means you need a backup plan at running back for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.
