Who Should I Start? Tyrone Tracy Jr. or Ladd McConkey

Saturday, December 20, 10:24 AM

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. posted his best fantasy performance of the season in Week 15's loss to the Washington Commanders, handling 15 rushes for 70 yards and a touchdown to go with three catches (four targets) for 27 yards and another score as a receiver. The second-year back played his highest snap share (76.1%) of the season, while veteran Devin Singletary played his lowest (23.9%) since Cam Skattebo (ankle) went down for the season in Week 8. Tracy has recorded at least 15 touches in four of the past five games and has delivered solid results for fantasy managers, averaging 15.7 PPR points per game and ranking as the RB12 in that span. He profiles as a solid RB2 again for Week 16's matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, who have allowed the ninth-most rushing yards per game this season.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey is looking to rebound after a disappointing two-game stretch in which he totaled just 32 yards and posted a season-low 11.5% target share. Despite the recent lack of volume, McConkey faces a prime opportunity against a Dallas Cowboys defense that has allowed the most passing yards and touchdowns in the league. Dallas ranks 30th in EPA/Pass and is fifth in completion percentage allowed, providing a soft landing for the 24-year-old. With the Cowboys' pass rush ranking only 25th in sack percentage, Justin Herbert should have the time to find McConkey in the intermediate areas of the field. If Quentin Johnston (groin) is ruled out again, McConkey's target share should naturally gravitate back toward his season average. RotoBaller ranks him as the WR22 this week, and he is a strong WR2/3 option.
