Who Should I Start? Tyrone Tracy Jr. or Cam Skattebo

Sunday, January 5, 6:45 PM

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 Cam Skattebo has agreed to terms on his rookie deal and is set to officially sign on Wednesday, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. The fourth-round pick out of Arizona State carries plenty of fantasy football intrigue after a monster collegiate career of production. He began his career at Sacramento State before joining the Sun Devils' program in 2023. As a senior in 2024, Skattebo rushed 293 times for 1,711 yards and caught 45 passes for 605 yards. Overall, he tallied 2,316 yards from scrimmage and 24 touchdowns. Although 2024 rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. impressed in his first year of action, the two could be in a committee backfield in 2025, though Devin Singletary is still on the roster. All that said, Skattebo has workhorse size and could carve out a significant role with volume in 2025 or 2026.
