Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Loses spot in backfield rotation
Rotowire
Tracy played only one offensive snap during the Giants' 28-6 loss to the Rams on Monday.
Tracy's lone offensive play -- a carry on which he lost three yards in the fourth quarter -- didn't end up counting due to a penalty. The third-year running back did play 16 snaps on special teams and returned two kickoffs for 52 yards. That appears to be Tracy's path to playing time at the moment, as he is firmly behind Cam Skattebo, Devin Singletary and Najee Harris in the backfield pecking order.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Healthy ahead of Week 2
Rotowire
Tracy (illness) did not appear on the Giants' injury report Thursday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Tracy was dealing with an illness to open the week, but he now appears to be back to full health. The running back logged just two snaps with the offense Week 1 against the Cowboys, losing a fumble on his second and final carry of the contest. Tracy figures to once again operate as the No. 3 option in the backfield behind starter Cam Skattebo and top backup Devin Singletary during Monday night's contest against the Rams.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Comes down with illness
Rotowire
Coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday that Tracy is dealing with an illness, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Three days removed from logging just two offensive snaps in the Giants' season-opening win against the Cowboys, Tracy wasn't able to take part in Wednesday's unofficial practice. Harbaugh believes Tracy will be back on the practice field Thursday, after which the team will post its first Week 2 injury report ahead of Monday's game at the Rams.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Makes initial 53-man roster
Rotowire
Tracy (neck) is on the Giants' initial 53-man roster for the 2026 season, Dan Salomone and Matt Citak of the team's official site report.
The decision regarding Tracy's place on New York's roster was tied to uneven play in the preseason, the recent arrival of veteran RB Najee Harris to the position group, and a neck injury that Tracy picked up in the team's exhibition finale. Having said that, he's now among the backfield options along with No. 1 Cam Skattebo, Devin Singletary and Harris. It's perhaps a vote of confidence for the third-year pro, but because the other three are healthy, Tracy may be hard-pressed for a regular role early on this season.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Won't return Friday
Rotowire
Tracy (neck) cleared concussion protocol but will not return to Friday's preseason game against the Jets, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.
Tracy sustained an apparent neck injury during an eight-yard run in the second quarter. The good news for the third-year running back is that he was not diagnosed with a concussion, and he'll finish his night with four carries for 37 yards and a touchdown. How Tracy's neck reacts over the coming days will determine what his practice participation will look like leading up to Week 1 against the Cowboys on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Goes to locker room
Rotowire
Tracy went to the locker room during Friday's preseason game against the Jets due to an apparent neck injury, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Tracy was tended to by medical staff after taking a big hit on an eight-yard run during the second quarter. The good news was that he was able to walk off the field and into the locker room under his own power. Given that he's being checked for a neck injury, it appears unlikely that Tracy will return to Friday's exhibition contest. If he's indeed done, he''ll finish with four carries for 37 yards and a touchdown.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Commits another preseason blunder
Rotowire
Tracy rushed six times for 26 yards, caught all three of his targets for 22 yards and lost a fumble in Saturday's 26-3 preseason win over the Dolphins.
Tracy split carries with Devin Singletary in the first half while Cam Skattebo and the newly signed Najee Harris didn't see any action. For the second time in as many preseason games, Tracy made a key mistake. After whiffing on a pass block in the preseason opener, Tracy fumbled in the red zone Saturday. Tracy averaged a solid 4.3 yards per carry and 7.7 yards per catch through his first two NFL seasons, so while the 2024 fifth-round pick could still be a key part of the Giants' backfield plans in 2026, he needs to clean up the errors to avoid landing in head coach John Harbaugh's doghouse.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Just two touches in preseason opener
Rotowire
Tracy carried the ball twice for five yards in Saturday's 13-10 preseason loss to the Vikings. He failed to catch his only target.
The Giants' starters on offense played just two possessions in their preseason opener, but the backfield ended up being a three-way committee as Tracy, Cam Skattebo and Devin Singletary all mixed in. Tracy wound up having the worst day of the trio, as Skattebo managed 19 yards on four carries while Singletary also had four touches, including a 40-yard reception from Jameis Winston on a 3rd-and-23 early in the second quarter that helped set up New York's only TD of the day. Skattebo stands at the top of the depth chart, with Tracy expected to be the primary passing-down option, but Saturday's usage at least hints that their roles and volume may not be so clear-cut under new coach John Harbaugh.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Working with starters in warmups
Rotowire
Tracy is lined up with the starters during pregame warmups before Saturday's preseason matchup with Minnesota, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Cam Skattebo, meanwhile, is working with Jameis Winston and the second-team offense. This may be a distant memory by the time Week 1 rolls around, but it does serve as a reminder that the workload split between Tracy and Skattebo bears monitoring in the coming weeks/months.
Tracy rushed 18 times for 103 yards and lost a fumble while catching eight of nine targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys. He finishes the 2025 season with 740 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, as well as 36 catches for 288 yards and two touchdowns on 48 targets.
Tracy capped his sophomore season with a career-high 159 scrimmage yards as the Giants notched their fourth win of the campaign. Rookie fourth-round pick Cam Skattebo established himself as the lead back prior to dislocating his ankle in Week 8, but Tracy figures to maintain a substantial role in the Giants' 2026 backfield regardless of how Skattebo's recovery goes. Tracy has exceeded 1,000 scrimmage yards in each of his first two NFL seasons.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Loses out to Singletary
Rotowire
Tracy rushed the ball 14 times for 62 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Raiders. He added one reception on two targets for minus-5 yards.
Tracy led the Giants' backfield in rushing attempts and was fairly efficient with his opportunity. Two of his carries went for at least 10 yards, the longer of which was a 23-yard scamper that pushed the team into field-goal range on their first possession of the second half. However, Tracy missed out on opportunities to Devin Singletary, both as a receiver and near the goal line, to limit his fantasy appeal. Nevertheless, Tracy has at least 60 yards on the ground in six of his last seven games heading into an exploitable Week 18 matchup against the Cowboys.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Tops 70 rushing yards in Week 16
Rotowire
Tracy rushed 16 times for 71 yards and caught both of his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.
Tracy reached the 70-yard threshold on the ground for the fourth time in six games. He had 16 carries to Devin Singletary's 11 while Jaxson Dart completed only seven passes and had just two carries in a quiet game for the rookie quarterback. Tracy's poised to maintain the lead-back role in the Giants' run-heavy offense in a Week 17 road game against the Raiders.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy Jr.: RBs to Start
Rotowire
Tracy practiced Wednesday and should be fine after leaving his last game in Week 13 at New England with a hip injury. In two games prior to getting hurt, Tracy scored at least 16 PPR points in each outing against Green Bay and Detroit, and he had 23 total touches in both contests. He'll continue to share touches with Devin Singletary, who is worth using as a flex, and both have a great matchup in Week 15 against Washington. The Commanders are No. 6 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and nine running backs have scored at least 13 PPR points against Washington this season. Singletary has scored at least 10.3 PPR points in three of his past four games, and he has three touchdowns over that span.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Full practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Tracy (hip) practiced fully Wednesday, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.
Tracy took a big hit in the Giants' last game Dec. 1 and couldn't put much weight on his left leg as he left the field. Afterward, he called the injury a hip contusion/stinger, but with the benefit of the team's Week 14 bye, he was able to put the health concern behind him. Tracy thus is poised to split the backfield with Devin Singletary yet again Sunday against the Commanders.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Has bruised hip
Rotowire
Tracy said Tuesday that he suffered a hip contusion/stinger during Monday's loss at New England, but he expects to be "fine," Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Tracy endured a hard hit in the fourth quarter and couldn't put much weight on his left leg as he was assisted to the sideline. He then was carted to the locker room, marking the end of Tracy's night. Meanwhile, Devin Singletary had his most productive outing of the season in Week 13 with 15 touches for 102 yards from scrimmage and one TD. New York has a Week 14 bye on tap, which may afford Tracy enough time to get back to 100 percent. Both Tracy and Singletary have had regular roles in the offense since Cam Skattebo (ankle) went down and likely need the other to cede snaps to provide consistent fantasy results.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy Jr.: Sleeper RBs
Rotowire
The Patriots run defense has been awesome this season, but defensive tackle Milton Williams (ankle) going on injured reserve, as well as defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga (chest) potentially being out for Week 13, could allow Tracy to stay hot. In his past two games against Green Bay and Detroit, which are two of the best teams at limiting Fantasy points for opposing running backs, Tracy scored at least 16 PPR points in each outing. Now, those two games were without Jaxson Dart (concussion), who is expected to return in Week 13, but it also was the first two games under interim coach Mike Kafka. Tracy had 23 total touches in each outing with at least three catches and four targets in each game. And the Patriots are No. 2 in most receptions allowed to running backs this year, with 65. I would use Tracy as a low-end No. 2 running back in all leagues.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy Jr.: RBs to Sit
Rotowire
Tracy easily had his best game of the season in Week 11 against Green Bay with 19 carries for 88 yards and four catches for 51 yards on four targets. Hopefully, interim coach Mike Kafka will continue to lean on Tracy, but he has a brutal matchup in Week 12 at Detroit. The Lions are No. 1 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and only four guys this season have scored at least 12 PPR points, including none since Week 4. Devin Singletary will also impact Tracy's production, and I would consider both Giants' running backs as flex options at best in Week 12 at Detroit.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy Jr.: RBs to Sit
Rotowire
I love that Jameis Winston and not Russell Wilson will start for the Giants if Jaxson Dart (concussion) is out in Week 11 at Green Bay. The offense has the chance to be explosive with Winston under center, but I'm not sure that will benefit Tracy, who is just a flex option at best in deeper leagues. In two games without Cam Skattebo (ankle), Tracy has combined for 19 carries for 89 yards, which is a positive, but he has no touchdowns and just four catches for 19 yards on six targets. Over that same span, Devin Singletary had 16 carries for 63 yards and five catches for 61 yards on five targets. Singletary should continue to get more work in the passing game, and we'll see what happens at the goal line. This is also a difficult matchup against the Packers, who are No. 6 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. I would start Singletary ahead of Tracy in the majority of leagues, but I'd like to avoid both if possible against Green Bay.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Team's leading rusher in Week 10
Rotowire
Tracy rushed 14 times for 71 yards and caught one of two targets for no gain in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Bears.
Neither Tracy nor Devin Singletary found any running room in the first half, but Tracy was far more effective on the ground in the second half, while Singletary finished the game with just eight carries for 20 yards. Quarterback Jaxson Dart carried the offense prior to departing due to a concussion to end the third quarter. If the Giants are forced to turn to Russell Wilson under center in Week 11, the entire offense's ceiling would be lower against a stout Packers defense, though Tracy's arrow is pointing up with the backfield workload distribution shifting in his favor.
