Who Should I Start? Boston Scott or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Saturday, September 14, 9:56 AM

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released running back Boston Scott from their practice squad, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2. The veteran running back is now looking for his third team of the year after failed stints with the Steelers and Los Angeles Rams. His veteran presence and previous production in Philadelphia should help him earn a practice squad opportunity. His effectiveness has taken a step back in recent years, but he's still only a few seasons removed from providing the Eagles with 450-plus scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns. Regardless of where Scott's career takes him next, he's off the radar in all fantasy leagues.

New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) was not listed on the team's first official injury report on Wednesday after putting in a full practice. Tracy was carted off the field and put in an air cast during practice on Aug. 13, but he thankfully escaped a serious injury -- he was eventually diagnosed with a low-ankle sprain -- and now looks ready to make his regular-season NFL debut this Sunday in the Week 1 season opener versus the Minnesota Vikings. In deep single-year leagues, the 24-year-old is a handcuff option for those that also have lead back Devin Singletary rostered, but other than that, Tracy only deserves to be rostered in dynasty/keeper leagues. If anything were to happen to Singletary in his first year in the Big Apple, though, Tracy would immediately become a popular waiver-wire target as the next in line for a significant workload out of the backfield.
