Tyrone Tracy Jr. Fantasy Stats

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hip) was carted off the field during the fourth quarter of Monday's blowout loss to the Patriots, but on Tuesday, the second-year back told reporters it was merely a hip contusion/stinger and that he is fine. Despite missing two games earlier this season with a shoulder injury, Tracy leads a banged-up Giants offense in rush attempts and yards, and had been enjoying his most productive three-game stretch of the season heading into Monday night. The Giants now face a Week 14 bye, so fantasy managers will need to wait an additional week for any official injury reports, but if healthy for Week 15, Tracy remains a low-ceiling flex candidate for the fantasy playoffs.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hip) was carted off the field after suffering a hip injury during his team's Week 13 matchup against the New England Patriots on Monday night. Dan Salomone of Giants.com reports that Tracy Jr. is officially questionable to return. The 26-year-old back recorded 10 carries for 36 yards and one catch for -3 yards before being forced to exit the game. If he's unable to return, veteran running back Devin Singletary would be in line to handle most of New York's backfield work for the remainder of Week 13. While the exact nature of Tracy Jr.'s injury is unclear, an extended absence for Tracy Jr. would be a major loss for the Giants. With rookie running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) on Injured Reserve, Singletary would be the last back standing in New York and could be in line for a significant workload increase going forward.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has taken control of the Giants' backfield. Tracy has had 39 carries for 150 rushing yards, along with seven catches for 119 yards on eight targets over his last two games. The 26-year-old has been maximizing his versatile skill set and is making a case to be a reliable running back for managers right before the fantasy playoffs. Heading into Week 13, Tracy will face a stout New England Patriots run defense. The Patriots have allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards and the fewest rushing touchdowns this season. However, Tracy should be more efficient per touch with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) being cleared from concussion protocol. Dart's dual-threat ability will force run defenders to pay more attention to him, freeing up bigger running lanes for Tracy. In a difficult matchup, Tracy is an RB3 that can be inserted into flex spots for fantasy managers against New England in Week 13.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. handled 20 carries for 62 yards to go along with three catches (four targets) for 68 yards as a receiver in Sunday's 34-27 overtime loss to the Detroit Lions. Tracy played a season-high 72% of the snaps in Week 12 and had three of the four running back carries inside the 10-yard line, which is notable because veteran Devin Singletary handled all nine carries near the goal line in the past two weeks. The 26-year-old has now gone over 130 yards from scrimmage in back-to-back games, handling 23 touches in each matchup. Singletary was still involved, carrying the ball 14 times for 47 yards, but Tracy operated as the clear RB1, earning the goal-line touches and receiving work that makes him a much more appealing fantasy asset. Tracy should be viewed as a solid RB2 heading into Week 13 against the New England Patriots.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has received the bulk of the touches in the backfield over the past two weeks with Cam Skattebo (ankle) out for the season, recording 33 carries for 159 yards along with five catches (six targets) for 51 yards. Tracy's 38 touches over those two weeks rank as the ninth most in the league among running backs, but veteran Devin Singletary has taken away some of the more high-value opportunities, handling all nine running back carries inside the 10-yard line. So it has been a split backfield for the most part, with Tracy handling most of the work between the 20s and Singletary getting the goal line and pass down responsibilities. Things could change, but that limits Tracy's upside and will make it tough to find the end zone. The 25-year-old should still see plenty of volume in Week 12 against Detroit and ranks as RotoBaller's RB29 in PPR leagues.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has taken over as the team's lead back over the past two games with Cam Skattebo (ankle) out for the season. After playing fewer snaps than veteran Devin Singletary in Week 9 against the 49ers, Tracy took back the lead role in Week 10, playing 65.7% of the snaps and handling 14 carries for 71 yards, and added one reception (two targets) for no yards. The first half was a struggle for the second-year back, gaining zero yards on five carries, but he bounced back with a strong second half and should have some positive momentum rolling into Week 11 against the Packers. Tracy could catch more passes with a less mobile Jameis Winston filling in for an injured Jaxson Dart (concussion) on Sunday, and ranks as RotoBaller's RB24 in PPR leagues.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. remains the team's starter heading into Week 10 against the Chicago Bears, offensive coordinator Mike Kafka told members of the media. When asked about Tracy and Devin Singletary handling a roughly equal snap share last week, Kafka explained that snaps are allocated based on the flow of the game, and factors include players who are running well and whether a running back taps their helmet to come out of the game. He said that it's difficult to track running back snaps when a drive is moving quickly, and it's easier to monitor per quarter or per half. All of these comments seem to indicate that while Tracy will earn the start in Week 10, New York's backfield structure is dynamic. We could see Tracy lead the backfield in some weeks, Singletary in some weeks, and an even split from time to time. For now, Tracy remains the preferred Giants running back in fantasy football, ranking as a high-end RB3 against a solid Bears run defense.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. is in a precarious fantasy position entering Week 10, as he is dealing with a murky workload split and a difficult opponent. Despite the season-ending injury to Cam Skattebo, Tracy Jr. saw only five carries for 18 yards in Week 9, being out-carried by Devin Singletary (eight) as the Giants transitioned to a running back committee approach. As the 47th-ranked fantasy RB, averaging 5.56 points per game, Tracy Jr.'s outlook is dimmed by the upcoming matchup with the Chicago Bears, who, while generally a poor defense, have been tougher against the run. The Bears are the 21st-ranked fantasy defense against running backs, allowing a hefty 22.73 points per game, which does offer a glimmer of hope for a committee back. Given his diminished role and low 3.5 yards per carry average, Tracy Jr. remains a risky Flex option.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. is in line to serve as the team's lead back in Week 9 with rookie Cam Skattebo (ankle) sidelined for the remainder of the season. The 25-year-old began the season as the Giants' starter, but ended up missing two games due to a shoulder injury, which opened the door for Skattebo. Now, Tracy and veteran Devin Singletary are expected to see the majority of the snaps moving forward. Tracy hasn't been overly efficient with his touches in six games this season, handling 45 carries for 159 yards and a touchdown while adding 10 catches for 68 yards on 16 targets. The New York offense looks much more exciting with rookie Jaxson Dart at the helm, although they are lacking legitimate pass-catching threats at the moment. Tracy ranks as RotoBaller's RB17 for the Giants' Week 9 matchup at home against the San Francisco Giants.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has had a relatively quiet season so far after missing two games with a shoulder injury, which allowed rookie Cam Skattebo to take over as lead back. With Skattebo now out for the season after suffering an ankle injury in Week 8 against the Eagles, Tracy is set up to handle the majority of the touches in New York's backfield. The 25-year-old worked as the Giants' lead back last season from Week 5 on and earned over 17 opportunities per game while playing 68.3% of the snaps. He averaged 14.3 PPR points per game during that stretch, ranking as RB20. Veteran Devin Singletary should mix in for touches occasionally, but most of the volume will likely go to Tracy. He's a must-add player this week and is worth a heavy FAAB investment if he is available.
