Tyrone Tracy Jr. Expected To Get On The Field Against Atlanta
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) is anticipated to play versus the Falcons in Week 16. The rookie was limited at practice throughout the week. However, he appeared to trend in a favorable direction heading into the weekend. The Giants' season has been a disaster. But Tracy at least has had a quality inaugural campaign, with the 25 year-old amassing 695 yards and five touchdowns off 151 carries. With that type of production, he deserves a spot in most fantasy lineups despite a difficult matchup against an Atlanta defense that has played well against the run. With that said, Tracy's likely availability will mean Devin Singletary will lose most of his streaming potential.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. Listed As Questionable For Week 16
New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie back has been limited in practice this week due to an ankle injury. Luckily, it sounds like a day-to-day issue, so Tracy still has a decent chance at returning in time for this contest. If he sits, Devin Singletary is expected to take over as the lead back for Week 16. Singletary began the season as the lead back in New York, but eventually lost the job to Tracy. Singletary rushed eight times for 25 yards and a touchdown last week. There's some flex appeal here if Tracy is unable to go for this game.
According to Dan Salomone of Giants.com, rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) was a limited participant again during Thursday's practice. Fantasy managers should closely monitor his status during Friday's session as he will likely need to log a full practice to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game. Tracy has battled a lingering ankle injury throughout the season but he has yet to miss any time due to it. Last weekend, Tracy only logged ten carries as the Giants were trailing heavily throughout. Over his past nine games, the rookie running back has averaged 4.4 yards per carry while scoring 14.1 PPR points per game. If Tracy is able to suit up on Sunday, he should be viewed as a low-end RB2 facing the Atlanta Falcons, who have allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points to opposing running backs this season.
New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) was added to the Week 16 injury report on Wednesday after he put in a limited practice. It's a new injury for Tracy, so his status is worth watching the rest of the week, but if he's able to upgrade to a full practice on Thursday or Friday, he should be fine to play in a Week 16 tilt against the Atlanta Falcons on the road this weekend. The 25-year-old rookie has taken over lead-back duties from Devin Singletary for the majority of the season and has averaged 16.6 touches and 84.5 scrimmage yards in the last 10 games while also adding five rushing touchdowns. The fantasy upside certainly isn't very high given the Giants' pitiful quarterback situation -- Singletary is a threat to vulture TDs as well -- but for the volume alone, Tracy garners RB3/flex appeal if he's active for Week 16.
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. struggled to find his footing in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Despite leading the backfield with 10 carries, Tracy managed just 31 rushing yards with a long of 12 and a modest 3.1 yards per carry, failing to find the end zone. He added one reception for four yards, finishing the game with four fantasy points. While Tracy had more carries than Devin Singletary, who logged eight, Singletary capitalized on a goal-line opportunity for a touchdown and outpaced Tracy in the passing game with three receptions. Both backs tied for total touches at 11, but Tracy's limited efficiency and lack of scoring opportunities muted his impact.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. Faces The Top Rushing Defense In Week 15
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has been a steady fantasy contributor since taking over as the starter in Week 5, averaging 13.72 fantasy points per game (16th among RBs in that span). In Week 14 against the Saints, Tracy Jr. logged 45 rushing yards, a touchdown, and 38 receiving yards on five catches, demonstrating his dual-threat ability. However, Week 15 presents a tough challenge against the Ravens, who boast the league's top-ranked rushing defense, allowing just 82.7 yards per game and only 11 rushing touchdowns this season. While Baltimore's defense ranks 9th in limiting fantasy points to RBs, Tracy's receiving skills could provide some upside against a unit that is vulnerable to allowing passing yards due to teams playing catch-up against their potent offense.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. Scores Rushing Touchdown In Week 14
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. led the backfield in Sunday's 14-11 loss to the New Orleans Saints, tallying 45 rushing yards and a touchdown on 16 carries while adding five receptions for 38 yards. Tracy's 2.8 yards per carry highlighted the difficulty he faced against a tough Saints defensive front, with his longest run gaining just seven yards. Despite the inefficiency, he was a focal point of the offense, leading the team in carries (next closest was Devin Singletary with just two) and tying for the team lead in receptions. Tracy's rushing touchdown salvaged his fantasy performance, and his dual-threat role helped him to a solid 16.8 fantasy points, making him a bright spot in an otherwise frustrating offensive outing for New York.
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has been a reliable fantasy option since taking over as the starter in Week 5, averaging 14.59 fantasy points per game, ranking 20th among RBs in that span. In Week 13 against the Cowboys, he logged 32 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground while adding 33 receiving yards on two catches, showcasing his versatility. This week, Tracy faces a New Orleans Saints defense that ranks 19th in points allowed per game (23.4) but is stout against the run, allowing just 15 rushing touchdowns all season. Despite the matchup, Tracy's 69.4% snap share last week and consistent 5.0 yards per carry on the year make him a solid RB2 with receiving upside in Week 14.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. Scores Rushing Touchdown In Week 13

Tracy also caught two passes for 33 yards, bringing his total to 65 yards from scrimmage. His 13.5 fantasy points were solid, though his nine touches marked his lowest involvement since Week 5, as Devin Singletary saw increased action with seven carries. Tracy's reduced workload may be a trend to monitor for fantasy managers moving forward.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. Looking To Rebound In Week 13 Against The Cowboys

With Dallas also surrendering the second-most points per game (29) and ranking 29th in fantasy points allowed to running backs, Tracy has strong bounce-back potential.
