RB Tyrone Tracy Jr., NYG (2 Viewers)

[EBF]

Trending towards a drop in redraft IMO. Not a great offense and now Skat looks like the guy there.

Maybe you give him one more week back from the injury to see if his involvement rises at all, but he's looking like a handcuff now.

From a dynasty standpoint, I still think he's good enough to be useful to many NFL teams.

 

[Payne]

I just don't think he is a drop. The Giants will need him and Cam looks like he could already be checked for CTE.
While he is fun to watch, I don't see how it keeps up. When the Giants play from behind, I think Tracy will see more opportunities.
I admit I was wrong on this situation as well, but I still think Tracy has value.

 

[Smack Tripper]

He should see rhe WR2 reps

 

[3nOut]

I was thinking about dropping Blue to make room for a player coming off of IR, but with Sanders out for the season, I need to consider dropping Tracy instead.

 

[Runkle]

Dropping him for either Blue or Aaron Jones next week

Tracy's decision making is awful. You could see Daboll getting extremely annoyed by him not punching one up the gut and gaining 4, and instead cutting off tackle and losing 1 last night. If Skattebo went down, I think Tracy would be a in a RBBC with Singletary. I think Tracy had his window and blew it.

I think Tracy and Blue are probably of similar value. I'd much rather have Aaron Jones, who at least has the pass down job on lockdown.

I’d personally put Jones a tier above them all but would rather have Tracy than Blue.


Feel like he has both potential stand alone value, weak, like an RB4, but maybe you need that some weeks. But main thing is I also think his odds of getting the staring job back due to injury is a lot higher.

Dwain McFarland
Cam Skattebo was injured after one snap on the third drive in Week 8.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. was the clear-cut RB1 after that play:

64% snaps
56% attempts
55% routes
16% targets

Devin Singletary only played 19% of snaps with 13% of attempts.

Tracy is a priority waiver wire target.

I just don't know if I really want to be investing in shares of this offense now that Skat is gone, Nabers is gone... I get that guys who get playing time have value, but, it's gonna be a rough go for the Gmen for a while it seems.

The lead back on every team is worth rostering, if they are getting lead back treatment. I don't care how bad the team is. If you are getting about 15 touches per game, you are, at worst a RB4. Look at Pollard this year. He's averaging less than 4 yards per carry, with only 2 rushing TD's, and has 18 catches for no TD's. He has 127 touches and is currently RB21 in PPR. And even if you go by points per game, he only drops to RB29, which is a mid-level RB3. If Tracy gets 15 touches, he will be startable in a flex spot (maybe flex2, but still startable).

Bumping for more takes on how we expect Tracy to produce going forward?

Are we looking at an RB2? An RB3? Realistically?

Low end RB2 IMO.

Keeping in mind the bar is not that high. If we remove stuff some stuff like Rb's on the same team whose usage flip flopped over injuries, like Chubba/Rico, you see that RB24 in PPR is hitting close to the 12 PPG PPR mark.

Last year he did not really ascend to the primary role until week 5 and for the ROS was just a hair under 14 PPG and that seems more then a reasonable range.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

With all respect to Cam, who I am a big fan of, there are very few lead RBs who are so good that the gap between them and a clear handcuff is so large that there wouldn't be high interest in the handcuff after an injury, and I don't think Cam is anywhere near that level of lead RB.

He's super fun to root for, but he's eclipsed 4ypc in 3 out of 8 games this year. His fantasy value was largely volume based, so if someone else is likely to get that volume instead I would expect a pretty decent return.

Heck, Tracy's first 6 games as the NYG starter last year were better than Cam's this year except in TDs, which are kinda flukey. I think he can put up reasonably similar fantasy numbers.

Tracy was RB14 from weeks 5-18 last year, and that was with a 73/27 split with Singletary. What will the split be for the second half of 2025?

I'm a Tracy believer, I think he's got a lot of skills that are valuable both for real football and fantasy football- if he's healthy and the team doesn't regress, I could see mid-range RB2 production with upside. Probably around Chase Brown-tier.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

Congrats to those who stashed him! He won't be an RB1 imo but getting an RB2 at this stage in the year is huge.

Rb2 based on receptions , May lose goal line work due to fumbles

I had Tracy last year, and have held on until now.

Cam's injury sucks. For him, and the visceral reaction of the team was jarring. Cam is a beloved player for good reason. I'm not sure the Giants recover from this.

I don't even want to bring it up in these circumstances, but Tracy is a great talent. He was great last year when he won a shot.

Tracy is now in the position, once again, with being asked to produce when NYG fans are disappointed to see him. He took over, mid-season, last year as the Giants' best answer post-Saquon. Giants fans didn't want him. They were watching Saquon power a Super Bowl team.

Now? they really don't want him. His presence is a reminder that they lost Cam. Cam is so beloved and awesome.

This kid is just trying to make a career for himself. And he's really damn talented. It just seems to be that every time he shows up, it's to the disappointment of the fans.

Anyway, I'm rooting for the kid.
