Who Should I Start? Tyrone Tracy Jr. or Jaydon Blue

Saturday, November 1, 3:29 PM

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. is in line to serve as the team's lead back in Week 9 with rookie Cam Skattebo (ankle) sidelined for the remainder of the season. The 25-year-old began the season as the Giants' starter, but ended up missing two games due to a shoulder injury, which opened the door for Skattebo. Now, Tracy and veteran Devin Singletary are expected to see the majority of the snaps moving forward. Tracy hasn't been overly efficient with his touches in six games this season, handling 45 carries for 159 yards and a touchdown while adding 10 catches for 68 yards on 16 targets. The New York offense looks much more exciting with rookie Jaxson Dart at the helm, although they are lacking legitimate pass-catching threats at the moment. Tracy ranks as RotoBaller's RB17 for the Giants' Week 9 matchup at home against the San Francisco Giants.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue and wide receiver Jonathan Mingo are both healthy scratches for the team's Monday night game against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer was very critical of Blue following the Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos, in which Blue had a costly fumble. The 21-year-old will now be inactive this week in favor of Malik Davis as Dallas' RB2 behind starter Javonte Williams. It's a step back for Blue, who didn't make his NFL debut until Week 5 for the Cowboys. In his four games played, the fifth-rounder out of Texas has carried the ball 22 times for 65 yards (3.0 yards per carry) while adding one catch for five yards. While Blue probably won't be in the doghouse for the rest of the season, he's in street clothes on Monday night and has currently lost out on the RB2 role in Dallas.
