New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. rushed for 59 yards on 14 carries during Sunday's Week 18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He also caught two passes for an additional seven yards through the air. The rookie out of Purdue was solid in his first pro season, but he did endure a rough stretch with just 3.9 yards per carry over his final five games. All in all, Tracy finished as a mid-range RB3 in fantasy football, amassing 839 rushing yards, 284 receiving yards, and six total touchdowns. The Giants may look to bring in some running back competition this offseason, but Tracy has an early leg up on the starting job for 2025.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has had some quality outings throughout his first season in the National Football League. He's appeared in all 16 games for the G-Men, amassing 780 yards and five touchdowns off 178 carries, adding 36 catches for 277 yards and a score. There are some things the rookie will need to improve moving ahead, specifically, his subpar 4.4 yards per carry. Still, Tracy has at least played well enough to warrant fantasy consideration from week-to-week. With the Giants looking to cap off a miserable season, Tracy will have one more chance to make a positive impression heading toward the offseason when the Giants meet the Eagles in Week 18. Head coach Brian Daboll seemingly implied the team was looking to remain competitive on Sunday. However, it's not entirely clear who will play for Philadelphia, meaning Tracy could have an easier path toward production if the Eagles rest some of their core players on the defensive side of the ball.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. rushed for just 59 yards on 20 carries during Sunday's Week 17 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He also caught two of his three targets for 14 yards through the air. Outside of a big 40-yard run, Tracy had an unproductive and inefficient showing as the Giants adopted a pass-heavy approach in their upset victory against Indianapolis. On a positive note, though, Tracy had four times as many carries as Devin Singletary, so there's no debate that the rookie remains New York's No. 1 running back going forward. He'll look to bounce back against the Philadelphia Eagles next week, but it won't be easy. In his last outing against the Eagles, he rushed for just 23 yards on six carries despite playing two-thirds of the offensive snaps.

New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and has been removed from the final Week 17 injury report. It means that he is good to go for Sunday's game in Week 17 against the Indianapolis Colts and their weak run defense. Tracy aggravated an ankle injury in the Week 16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons and didn't practice on either Wednesday or Thursday. Despite not upgrading to a full practice on Friday, the 25-year-old will play this weekend. It's fair to wonder if Tracy will share more of the backfield work with Devin Singletary. In last week's blowout loss, Tracy only had 11 touches and saved his fantasy day with a receiving touchdown. However, the great matchup -- the Colts have allowed the seventh-most rushing yards this year -- should at least give Tracy some RB3/flex appeal for fantasy managers now that we know he'll be active.

New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) will return to practice on Friday, according to head coach Brian Daboll. The Giants are "hopeful" that Tracy will be able to play on Sunday against the visiting Indianapolis Colts in Week 17. Tracy was unable to practice on Wednesday or Thursday after aggravating his ankle injury in the Week 16 blowout loss to the Atlanta Falcons. However, now that Tracy has returned to practice, he'll at least have a shot at playing this weekend. Fantasy managers will want to check back later on Friday, where Tracy will likely be listed as questionable. The 25-year-old has taken over lead-back duties from Devin Singletary for most of the year, but he's become a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex in fantasy with inefficient quarterback Drew Lock running the Giants' offense. If Tracy is ruled out, Singletary would be boosted to RB3/flex territory in Week 17.
Dec 27, 2024 1:25 PM EST
Updating a previous report, New York Giant rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) is not practicing on Thursday. Tracy also picked up a DNP on Wednesday's practice estimate, so he's firmly in danger of missing the Week 17 game this Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. Fantasy managers in a bind at RB or those who are in need of a flex play this weekend might want to consider picking up Devin Singletary if he's available on the waiver wire. If Tracy is ruled out for Sunday's game, Singletary's volume boost in the backfield would make him an intriguing flex option against a Colts defense that has been bad against the run in 2024. Tracy is probably going to need to practice in some fashion on Friday to avoid being ruled out entirely after aggravating an ankle injury in the team's Week 16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Check back on his status on Friday.
Dec 26, 2024 1:36 PM EST
New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) is set to practice in some capacity on Thursday after he was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report. Head coach Brian Daboll said on Monday that Tracy aggravated an ankle injury in the Week 16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The 25-year-old played 63 percent of the offensive snaps in the game, which was around his normal workload. Tracy's status for the Week 17 contest against the visiting Indianapolis Colts is in question, but the fact that he's returning to practice on Thursday is a good sign. However, if he doesn't practice in full by Friday, he could carry a questionable designation into Sunday's game. Tracy is an RB3/flex, at best, for fantasy managers given the Giants' poor offense. If Tracy is inactive against Indy, backup Devin Singletary would handle the lead-back role for the G-Men.
Dec 26, 2024 1:04 PM EST
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation. The Giants did not practice Wednesday, but if they had, the rookie would not have participated. Tracy picked up the injury during Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons in which he rushed just seven times but carved out a big role in the passing game, catching all four of his targets for 43 yards and one score through the air. Fantasy managers should monitor the Giants' injury reports over the next few days to understand whether Tracy will play in Week 17 against the Indianapolis Colts. If he can't suit up, Devin Singletary would likely operate as the Giants' primary running back.
Dec 25, 2024 10:01 PM EST
New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) will not participate in Tuesday's practice. The Giants are holding a practice on Tuesday and taking Wednesday off for Christmas this week. It's early in the week, but Tracy's status is worth watching closely heading into a Week 17 matchup on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts after he aggravated his ankle injury in the Week 16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. If the 25-year-old isn't able to play this Sunday, Devin Singletary would be in line for lead-back duties, giving him RB3/flex appeal against a Colts defense that has been gashed on the ground all year. Tracy had only 26 rushing yards on seven carries against Atlanta but salvaged his fantasy day with four catches for 43 yards and a touchdown through the air. He's shaping up as a risky RB3/flex in fantasy this week due to his injury and New York's lousy offense under quarterback Drew Lock.
Dec 24, 2024 1:16 PM EST
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said on Monday that rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) aggravated a previous ankle injury he was dealing with in the Week 16 blowout loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Tracy was questionable to play in Week 16 against Atlanta but suited up anyway and didn't do much on the ground, gaining only 26 rushing yards on seven carries. However, the 25-year-old rookie salvaged his day for fantasy managers by catching all four of his targets for 43 yards and the team's only touchdown of the game. It's unclear if Tracy's aggravation will keep him from playing in the Week 17 contest against the Indianapolis Colts in what is a great matchup, but fantasy managers will want to monitor his status closely this week. Backup Devin Singletary would at least be an intriguing RB3/flex option in fantasy if Tracy is ruled out.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. was the lone bright spot in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, finishing with 14.9 fantasy points on a combined 69 yards from scrimmage and a receiving touchdown. Tracy carried the ball seven times for 26 yards (3.7 YPC) and added four catches for 43 yards, including a highlight-reel toe-tap touchdown at the back of the end zone from Drew Lock early in the second quarter. That score gave the Giants an early 7-0 lead, but the game unraveled as Atlanta rattled off 34 unanswered points. While Tracy's rushing efficiency left much to be desired, his involvement in the passing game and red-zone usage were encouraging signs for fantasy managers in an otherwise dismal Giants offense.
Dec 22, 2024 5:45 PM EST
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. He had been listed as questionable but was expected to suit up after being a limited participant in practice all week long. The rookie saw his four-game double-digit scoring streak (PPR) come to an end last week, but he still has fantasy appeal in his role as the Giants' primary running back. Even if his injury causes him to lose a couple of touches to Devin Singletary, Tracy should still be deployed as a strong RB3/FLEX option.
Dec 22, 2024 11:41 AM EST
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) is anticipated to play versus the Falcons in Week 16. The rookie was limited at practice throughout the week. However, he appeared to trend in a favorable direction heading into the weekend. The Giants' season has been a disaster. But Tracy at least has had a quality inaugural campaign, with the 25 year-old amassing 695 yards and five touchdowns off 151 carries. With that type of production, he deserves a spot in most fantasy lineups despite a difficult matchup against an Atlanta defense that has played well against the run. With that said, Tracy's likely availability will mean Devin Singletary will lose most of his streaming potential.
Dec 22, 2024 12:07 AM EST
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie back has been limited in practice this week due to an ankle injury. Luckily, it sounds like a day-to-day issue, so Tracy still has a decent chance at returning in time for this contest. If he sits, Devin Singletary is expected to take over as the lead back for Week 16. Singletary began the season as the lead back in New York, but eventually lost the job to Tracy. Singletary rushed eight times for 25 yards and a touchdown last week. There's some flex appeal here if Tracy is unable to go for this game.
Dec 20, 2024 2:42 PM EST
According to Dan Salomone of Giants.com, rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) was a limited participant again during Thursday's practice. Fantasy managers should closely monitor his status during Friday's session as he will likely need to log a full practice to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game. Tracy has battled a lingering ankle injury throughout the season but he has yet to miss any time due to it. Last weekend, Tracy only logged ten carries as the Giants were trailing heavily throughout. Over his past nine games, the rookie running back has averaged 4.4 yards per carry while scoring 14.1 PPR points per game. If Tracy is able to suit up on Sunday, he should be viewed as a low-end RB2 facing the Atlanta Falcons, who have allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points to opposing running backs this season.
Dec 19, 2024 5:01 PM EST
New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) was added to the Week 16 injury report on Wednesday after he put in a limited practice. It's a new injury for Tracy, so his status is worth watching the rest of the week, but if he's able to upgrade to a full practice on Thursday or Friday, he should be fine to play in a Week 16 tilt against the Atlanta Falcons on the road this weekend. The 25-year-old rookie has taken over lead-back duties from Devin Singletary for the majority of the season and has averaged 16.6 touches and 84.5 scrimmage yards in the last 10 games while also adding five rushing touchdowns. The fantasy upside certainly isn't very high given the Giants' pitiful quarterback situation -- Singletary is a threat to vulture TDs as well -- but for the volume alone, Tracy garners RB3/flex appeal if he's active for Week 16.
Dec 18, 2024 3:52 PM EST
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. struggled to find his footing in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Despite leading the backfield with 10 carries, Tracy managed just 31 rushing yards with a long of 12 and a modest 3.1 yards per carry, failing to find the end zone. He added one reception for four yards, finishing the game with four fantasy points. While Tracy had more carries than Devin Singletary, who logged eight, Singletary capitalized on a goal-line opportunity for a touchdown and outpaced Tracy in the passing game with three receptions. Both backs tied for total touches at 11, but Tracy's limited efficiency and lack of scoring opportunities muted his impact.
Dec 15, 2024 4:18 PM EST
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has been a steady fantasy contributor since taking over as the starter in Week 5, averaging 13.72 fantasy points per game (16th among RBs in that span). In Week 14 against the Saints, Tracy Jr. logged 45 rushing yards, a touchdown, and 38 receiving yards on five catches, demonstrating his dual-threat ability. However, Week 15 presents a tough challenge against the Ravens, who boast the league's top-ranked rushing defense, allowing just 82.7 yards per game and only 11 rushing touchdowns this season. While Baltimore's defense ranks 9th in limiting fantasy points to RBs, Tracy's receiving skills could provide some upside against a unit that is vulnerable to allowing passing yards due to teams playing catch-up against their potent offense.
Dec 13, 2024 11:56 PM EST
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. led the backfield in Sunday's 14-11 loss to the New Orleans Saints, tallying 45 rushing yards and a touchdown on 16 carries while adding five receptions for 38 yards. Tracy's 2.8 yards per carry highlighted the difficulty he faced against a tough Saints defensive front, with his longest run gaining just seven yards. Despite the inefficiency, he was a focal point of the offense, leading the team in carries (next closest was Devin Singletary with just two) and tying for the team lead in receptions. Tracy's rushing touchdown salvaged his fantasy performance, and his dual-threat role helped him to a solid 16.8 fantasy points, making him a bright spot in an otherwise frustrating offensive outing for New York.
Dec 8, 2024 5:59 PM EST
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has been a reliable fantasy option since taking over as the starter in Week 5, averaging 14.59 fantasy points per game, ranking 20th among RBs in that span. In Week 13 against the Cowboys, he logged 32 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground while adding 33 receiving yards on two catches, showcasing his versatility. This week, Tracy faces a New Orleans Saints defense that ranks 19th in points allowed per game (23.4) but is stout against the run, allowing just 15 rushing touchdowns all season. Despite the matchup, Tracy's 69.4% snap share last week and consistent 5.0 yards per carry on the year make him a solid RB2 with receiving upside in Week 14.
