Fantasy Tiers

Devin Singletary: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #55 at the position). Joe Mixon: 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 Joe Mixon at 75%. That ranking gap means Devin Singletary carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Devin Singletary vs Joe Mixon: Who Should You Start?

Joe Mixon and Devin Singletary are at different tiers heading into 2026. The Houston Texans running back averaged 16.5 PPG in 2025, a full 10.6 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.

That 10.6-point weekly advantage for Joe Mixon is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Devin Singletary ran for 437 yards and 5 touchdowns; Joe Mixon posted 1165 and 11. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

Both share a Week 14 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Joe Mixon 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. Joe Mixon (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open.
