Who Should I Start? Bucky Irving or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Friday, December 20, 5:12 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (hip, back) is ready to go for Week 16 after getting through a full practice session on Friday. Irving was limited during the first two practice sessions of the week, but has been removed from the injury report after getting in a full session to end the week. Irving has rushed for over 70 yards in four of his last five games. Irving has two 100-plus yard games in two of his last three outings. The only thing holding him back is the fact that he remains in a committee with Rachaad White in the backfield. Despite that, Irving should still be able to produce high-end RB2 value for the Week 16 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

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.
