Tracy was one of the best surprises in 2024 Fantasy leagues as a late-round or undrafted acquisition. Although the end of his rookie season was marred by fumbles and a scaled-back role, he still finished just outside the top 30 backs in Fantasy points per game in both standard and PPR formats. This was in line with his 13.5 total touches per game average -- 31st among all backs. The Giants offense taking a leap forward with improved quarterback play could help Tracy's efficiency, but it's hard to imagine him touching the football more after the team upgraded from Eric Gray to Cam Skattebo. Tracy will have to be more efficient with ball security to secure the red zone role for the Giants. Tracy is a bit pricey at his current Round 6 ADP given the limitations of the projected Giants offense and his competition for touches. He's worth drafting if he falls into the Round 7-8 range.
Tracy rushed seven times for 39 yards in the Giants' 31-12 exhibition win over the Jets on Saturday.
Tracy wasn't targeted in the passing game and was also stuffed on his goal-line carry from the one-yard line. On the next play, Devin Singletary entered the game and punched in the one-yard touchdown. Tracy has carried the ball 10 times this preseason, gaining 48 yards, and with rookie Cam Skattebo (hamstring) missing both exhibitions and multiple practices, Tracy appears locked in atop the depth chart headed into the Week 1 opener against the Commanders in three weeks.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Five touches in preseason opener
Rotowire
Tracy carried the ball three times for nine yards and caught both his targets for seven yards in Saturday's 34-25 preseason win over the Bills.
The second-year running back got the start in the Giants' first exhibition contest but played only one drive before being subbed out for Devin Singletary. Tracy saw heavy volume while he was on the field however, an encouraging sign for his usage in 2025 after a strong rookie campaign that saw him produce 1,123 scrimmage yards and six TDs while playing all 17 regular-season games. Singletary and rookie Cam Skattebo (hamstring) should offer reliable depth, but the path appears to be clear for Tracy to handle a big workload this season.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Atop first unofficial depth chart
Rotowire
Tracy is listed as the No. 1 running back on New York's first unofficial depth chart, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Tracy is unsurprisingly listed as New York's starter, while Devin Singletary and rookie Cam Skattebo (hamstring) occupy the No. 2 and No. 3 spots, respectively. Art Stapleton of NorthJersey.com reports that Tracy has displayed improved decisiveness in camp entering Year 2, an encouraging development given that the 2024 fifth-round pick's impressive rookie season nonetheless left room for growth (especially in terms of ball security and work as a receiver). Improvements will be necessary for Tracy to retain an unquestioned grip on a full-time starting workload, though he remains the clear favorite to open Week 1 in such a role. Skattebo had begun gathering steam early in camp before picking up a soft-tissue injury, with coach Brian Daboll calling the rookie fourth-rounder day-to-day over the weekend.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Joined by Skattebo in backfield
Rotowire
The Giants drafted RB Cam Skattebo at No. 105 overall to compete with Tracy and Devin Singletary, per NFL.com's Kevin Patra.
Taken 166th overall a year earlier, Tracy never looked back after Singletary's groin injury opened up a starting job Week 5. Tracy started 12 of 13 games from that point forward and averaged 4.4 YPC for the season, despite being stuck in a brutal offense, with the main negatives being five fumbles and five drops. He's the favorite to start Week 1, but it may be an open competition this summer, considering Singletary has a respectable track record as an NFL starter and Skattebo exploded for 2,316 yards from scrimmage at Arizona State last year. Speed is the obvious advantage for Tracy, a former college wideout who ran a 4.48 40 at 5-foot-11, 209 pounds. Singletary ran a 4.66 before he was drafted six years ago, and Skattebo was timed around 4.6 or 4.65 at his pro day this spring.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Leading rusher in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Tracy carried the ball 14 times for 59 yards and caught both his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Eagles.
The rookie running back wrapped up a solid first NFL season that established him as a capable replacement for Saquon Barkley. Despite the fact that he didn't see double-digit touches in a game until Week 5, Tracy finished the campaign with 1,123 scrimmage yards over 17 appearances, six total TDs and a 4.4 YPC. The Giants' offense figures to look different in 2025, starting with a new quarterback, but Tracy's role at the top of the backfield depth chart appears secure.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy Jr.: RBs to Start
Rotowire
Tracy had a rough game in Week 17 against the Colts despite 22 total touches. He had 20 carries for 59 yards and two catches for 14 yards on three targets for just 9.3 PPR points. But I like that he dominated playing time again with 66 percent of the snaps, and he should be able to rebound in Week 18 against the Eagles. Normally, this would be a matchup to avoid, but Philadelphia plans to rest its starters for the playoffs. I'll trust Tracy as a No. 2 running back against backups, and he has scored at least 14.5 PPR points in three of his past five games overall.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Quiet outside of 40-yard run
Rotowire
Tracy rushed 20 times for 59 yards while catching two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 45-33 win over the Colts.
Tracy ripped off a 40-yard run in the first quarter but mustered only 19 yards on his other 19 carries. Devin Singletary had only five rushing attempts, so Tracy remains the clear lead option in the backfield for the Giants. Barring a setback with the ankle injury that limited Tracy's practice reps heading into Sunday's win, he should reprise his role as the Giants' top running back in Week 18 against an Eagles team that could opt to rest some starters for the playoffs.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Set to practice Friday
Rotowire
Head coach Brian Daboll noted that Tracy (ankle) is slated to practice Friday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Tracy was listed as a non-participant on practice reports Wednesday and Thursday, so the running back's looming presence for Friday's session bodes well for his chances of being available Sunday against the Colts. For his part, Daboll is "hopeful" regarding Tracy's status for the Giants' 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Listed as non-participant on Week 17 report
Rotowire
The Giants listed Tracy (ankle) as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
On Monday, coach Brian Daboll told Salomone that Tracy aggravated an ankle injury this past Sunday in Atlanta, a game in which the running back logged a typical 63 percent snap share and turned 11 touches into 69 yards from scrimmage and one receiving touchdown. In lieu of practicing on Christmas Day, the Giants opted to hold an unofficial session Tuesday in which Tracy ended up sitting out, prompting the team to list him as a non-participant when the first Week 17 injury report was published a day later. He'll have two more chances to mix into drills Thursday and Friday before the team potentially makes a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts. Devin Singletary is the next man up in New York's backfield in the event Tracy is limited or inactive this weekend.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy Jr.: RBs to Start
Rotowire
Tracy is dealing with an ankle injury, so hopefully he's 100 percent for Sunday's game against the Colts. If he's able to play then he's worth starting as a No. 2 running back in all leagues. Tracy has scored at least 14.5 PPR points in four of his past five games, and he's been excellent in the passing game with Drew Lock at quarterback. In Lock's past two starts against New Orleans and Atlanta, Tracy has nine catches for 81 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets. Indianapolis is No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and six running backs in the past five games against the Colts have scored at least 12.2 PPR points.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Unable to practice Tuesday
Rotowire
Head coach Brian Daboll said that Tracy (ankle) didn't participate in Tuesday's informal practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
The Giants won't release their initial Week 17 injury report until Wednesday, but the team opted to hold its first practice of the week Tuesday rather than holding a session on Christmas Day. As such, Tracy is expected to be listed as a non-participant on the first injury report of the week, which isn't especially surprising after Daboll revealed that the running back aggravated an ankle injury in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Falcons. The Giants will see what Tracy is able to do on the field at practices Thursday and Friday before gauging his availability for this Sunday's game against the Colts.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Aggravates ankle injury
Rotowire
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Tracy aggravated an ankle injury during Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Falcons, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.
Tracy gained 26 yards on only seven carries versus Atlanta on Sunday, but he salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective by securing all four of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown. He entered the contest with a questionable designation due to an ankle issue and evidently aggravated the injury during the blowout loss. If Tracy winds up sitting out a Week 17 contest against the Colts for a Giants squad that is playing for nothing but pride and draft position, Devin Singletary would step back into the starting role in the backfield.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Expected to go Sunday
Rotowire
Tracy (ankle) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons but is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Tracy logged three limited practice sessions Wednesday through Friday before carrying a designation into the weekend. Despite the lack of full activity this week, Tracy looks like he'll be formally cleared to play when the Giants release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Tracy has compiled 151 carries and 30 catches for 915 total yards this season, and he's been the Giants' clear lead back since Week 5. If Tracy is active but still limited in some capacity, then Devin Singletary could see increased usage out of New York's backfield.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Status in question for Sunday
Rotowire
Tracy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Atlanta, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Tracy was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday due to an ankle injury, which is clouding his status for Week 16 action. The Giants kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, so his availability, or lack thereof, will be known before the early slate of games. Devin Singletary would be poised to lead New York's backfield if Tracy is inactive, with Eric Gray also available for any RB reps that linger.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Limited again Thursday
Rotowire
Tracy (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Tracy has kicked off Week 16 prep with back-to-back capped sessions due to an ankle issue, giving him only more chance to log a full practice in advance of the weekend. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not he's given a designation for Sunday's game at Atlanta. Since the Giants' Week 11 bye, Tracy has averaged 14.0 touches for 63.3 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring two rushing TDs over the last four contests.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Dealing with ankle issue
Rotowire
Tracy was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
Tracy dealt with a right low-ankle sprain in August, but the health concern didn't affect his status for Week 1 and beyond. Since he regularly started earning a 60 percent snap share beginning Week 5 at Seattle, he's averaged 16.6 touches for 84.5 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring five rushing touchdowns over the last 10 contests. Tracy's status will be watched as the week continues to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's road matchup with the Falcons.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Modest production in loss
Rotowire
Tracy carried 10 times for 31 yards and brought in one of four targets for four yards in the Giants' 35-14 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Tracy predictably saw only a modest amount of opportunity in a game that eventually got away from the Giants as expected. The rookie running back now has four straight sub-50-yard totals on the ground, and his receiving production Sunday was his lowest since Week 10. Tracy should have a good chance of bouncing back in a favorable Week 16 road matchup against the Falcons, although it bears noting he outpaced backfield mate Devin Singletary by only two carries Sunday.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Gets into end zone in loss
Rotowire
Tracy carried the ball 16 times for 45 yards and a touchdown and caught five of 10 targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 14-11 loss to the Saints.
The rookie running back punched in a one-yard score late in the fourth quarter, giving Tracy his fifth rushing TD in the last eight games. Over that stretch, he's amassed 680 scrimmage yards while solidifying his spot at the top of the Giants' backfield depth chart. Tracy faces a tough matchup on the ground in Week 15 against the Ravens.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy Jr.: RBs to Start
Rotowire
The concern for Tracy in Week 14 would be that he has only nine carries in each of his past two games against Tampa Bay and Dallas and 13 total touches or less in each outing. Fumbles have been an issue for him, and the Giants are still giving Devin Singletary a chance to share the backfield. That said, Tracy has still scored at least 14.5 PPR points in two of his past three games, and he has a favorable matchup this week against the Saints, who are No. 7 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. Since Week 5, eight running backs have scored at least 16.8 PPR points against New Orleans, and Tracy should be considered a solid No. 2 running back in all leagues in this matchup.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Solid with limited opportunities
Rotowire
Tracy rushed nine times for 42 yards and brought in all four targets for 28 yards in the Giants' 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Game script limited Tracy's opportunities on the ground significantly, but he was still able to average an impressive 4.7 yards per carry while also recording his second-highest catch and receiving yardage totals of the season. On a less promising note, the rookie running back lost a fumble for the second straight game -- and this one came with New York just five yards away from the Buccaneers' end zone. Tracy's carry total was his second lowest since taking on a larger role in the ground attack at the expense of Devin Singletary, but he should have a much better chance at a normal workload in a Week 13 road matchup against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.
