Who Should I Start? Jeremy McNichols or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols made the most of his limited workload on Sunday afternoon as he tallied seven yards and a score off four attempts in their loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He did not see a target in the passing game. After taking the backseat to Chris Rodriguez Jr. last weekend, McNichols returned to the No.2 role behind Austin Ekeler. McNichols salvaged his fantasy day by punching in a one-yard score in the third quarter. Even if Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) cannot return on Thursday evening, McNichols would again be considered a high-risk flex option, given his limited opportunities.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. enters Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with momentum after rushing for 103 yards in Week 10 against Carolina, despite a costly fumble in overtime. Tracy has averaged 15.2 fantasy points per game since becoming the starter in Week 5, ranking as the RB22 during that span. Facing a Buccaneers defense ranked 28th against fantasy RBs and allowing 125.2 rushing yards per game (16th in the NFL), Tracy is positioned for another productive outing. His 77% snap share in Week 10 underscores his workhorse role, and with Tampa struggling to stop the run, Tracy is a solid RB2 with upside in Week 12.
