Tyrone Tracy Jr. News
Monday, May 4, 7:48 AM
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. may fall back into the No. 2 role on the depth chart this season, but that won't necessarily prevent him from remaining a relevant option in fantasy football. All signs point to Cam Skattebo (ankle) reclaiming the lead-back role by Week 1, but Tracy's strong second half of the 2025 season should be enough to earn him a healthy share of touches behind Skattebo in 2026. That's especially true as we see more NFL teams shift to a shared backfield dynamic with two impactful ball-carries. Tracy was the overall RB12 in half-PPR leagues from Week 11-18 last year, so even if he handles ~40% of the snaps and volume in New York, he should still offer value as a weekly RB3/flex option. Plus, with Skattebo coming off an injury, rostering his handcuff is certainly not a bad idea. This Giants offense is trending up with Jaxson Dart leading the way, and Tracy stands to benefit as a result.

Tahj Brooks News
Friday, February 20, 7:31 AM
A sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Cincinnati Bengals running back Tahj Brooks played a minimal role on offense in his first professional season. Across 16 games, the 23-year-old recorded just 54 yards from scrimmage on 17 total touches. Bengals running back Chase Brown has logged nearly 600 touches over the past two seasons combined and is locked in as the RB1 in Cincinnati for at least 2026, blocking Brooks off from significant playing time. The Bengals also have steady veteran back Samaje Perine under contract for the 2026 season. Perine recorded 469 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns across 15 games with Cincinnati in 2025, and his reputation as a solid pass blocker and receiver should keep him secure in the team's third-down role. Post 2026, Brooks could have a pathway to more playing time in Cincinnati. However, it appears unlikely that he will have a chance to prove himself in the short term, barring an injury to Brown or Perine. Brooks' value in dynasty formats should be trending downward after his quiet rookie campaign.
