Chris Rodriguez Jr. Takes Part in Team Drills Again on Monday

Monday, August 3, 5:17 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (foot) took part in team drills during Monday's training camp practice for the second straight day after only doing individual drills in the first three practices of camp following offseason foot surgery that kept him sidelined for the entire offseason program, according to John Oehser and John Shipley of Jaguars.com. "He's continuously getting better, and we're just trying to be smart with getting him to work, getting him acclimated while not trying to aggravate it, knowing that we're so early on. I know he was excited about getting the pads on," head coach Liam Coen said. C-Rod's injury has helped Bhayshul Tuten stand out as the Jags' RB1 in the offseason and so far in training camp, but the 25-year-old Rodriguez is going to be involved during the regular season, and it doesn't hurt his cause that he has former experience working with Coen in college at the University of Kentucky. A committee approach will most likely be utilized, at least to start the year, with Rodriguez and Tuten sharing early-down, short-yardage, and goal-line situations, with LeQuint Allen Jr. likely to handle most of the third-down work. Tuten is the more explosive upside RB2 target, while Rodriguez should be considered more of an RB3/flex in upcoming fantasy drafts in Jacksonville's ascending offense.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. a Priority Handcuff Running Back Entering 2026

Tuesday, July 21, 11:19 AM

Across 15 games (11 starts) in 2025, New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. recorded 1,028 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns on 212 touches. Early on last season, Tracy Jr. appeared to be losing his touches to fellow Giants back Cam Skattebo (ankle). Tracy Jr. regained the team's RB1 role after Skattebo went down with a season-ending ankle injury in Week 8. However, Skattebo is expected to be ready to go for the start of 2026, pushing Tracy Jr. back to a reserve role. As long as Skattebo remains healthy, Tracy Jr. is unlikely to log enough touches to provide fantasy-relevant production. However, the 26-year-old has proven himself capable of putting up decent numbers when given the chance, finishing in the RB3 range in per-game PPR scoring in each of his first two NFL seasons. Skattebo's physical play style may also put him at greater risk of injury than the typical running back, which only increases Tracy Jr.'s handcuff appeal. As the RB44 by current redraft ADP, Tracy Jr. could end up as a value selection for fantasy managers.
