Derrick Henry vs Devin Singletary

Fantasy Football Comparison for the 2026 NFL Season

The Bottom Line

Derrick Henry is the better fantasy play this season.

Derrick Henry is clearly the better fantasy option heading into 2026. With 16.0 PPG and 1,745 total yards in 2025, the production separation is too wide to overcome on matchup alone. Devin Singletary (5.9 PPG) is a hold, not a sell, but roster Derrick Henry as the starter and Devin Singletary as depth.

High confidence: stats strongly favor the leader, and the gap is unlikely to close on matchup alone.

Fantasy Tiers

Derrick Henry: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) RB (ranked #7 at the position). Devin Singletary: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #55 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Derrick Henry is producing at 73% of elite pace and Devin Singletary at 27%.

Derrick Henry vs Devin Singletary: Who Should You Start?

The numbers tell a clear story here. Derrick Henry put up 16.0 fantasy points per game for the Baltimore Ravens in 2025, while Devin Singletary managed 5.9 across 17 games with the New York Giants. A 10.1-point weekly edge is substantial at the running back position.

Derrick Henry carries a 10.1-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Derrick Henry ran for 1595 yards and 16 touchdowns; Devin Singletary posted 437 and 5. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Derrick Henry sits Week 7 while Devin Singletary is off Week 14. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Derrick Henry at a discount because your league-mates undervalue running back production, do it. Devin Singletary is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Derrick Henry (age 32, 9 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value. Devin Singletary (age 28, 6 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value.
