Tyrone Tracy Jr.
RB - New York Giants
2025 Outlook
Availability
A fifth-round draft pick out of Purdue, Tyrone Tracy turned in an impressive rookie season for the Giants. He had 192-839-5 rushing and 38-284-1 receiving, good for an RB26 finish in half-point PPR fantasy scoring. Fumbling was an issue for Tracy, who coughed up the ball five times. The Giants drafted Arizona State RB Cam Skattebo, so Tracy figures to be part of a timeshare arrangement this season. But as a former college wide receiver, Tracy figures to get more of the passing-game work.
Tracy Jr. took over as the Giants' starting back in Week 5 last season and never looked back. Well, he did have some bumps in the road with fumbles. Tracy Jr. finished with the 23rd-most touches among running backs last year, but he was tied for the third-most fumbles at the position. New York decided to address their backfield in the draft with the addition of Cam Skattebo. Skattebo could push Tracy Jr. aside if he's not careful. Skattebo had four fumbles last year in college. Still, four fumbles scattered across 338 collegiate touches is a different conversation than five with 230 touches last year, which is what happened with Tracy Jr. Tracy Jr. was explosive with his touches last year, ranking 16th in explosive run rate and 20th in missed tackles forced per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). The Giants may roll out a frustrating thunder and lightning committee in 2025, which would be the best-case scenario for Tracy Jr. because I don't see Skattebo going away.
