Tracy’s 2025 production leaned more on volume than efficiency. His touches increased after Cam Skattebo’s ankle injury but still finished just RB31 in PPR points per game, with shaky tackle-breaking and limited goal-line work. Skattebo is trending to play Week 1, and HC John Harbaugh has already labeled him the starter. That leaves Tracy as an unappealing pick at a Round 11 ADP.
Customize his projection for your exact league settings inside the Draft War Room.
Across 15 games, Tracy totaled 176 carries for 740 yards and 2 TDs, plus 36 catches for 288 yards and two more scores.
Tracy finished RB31 in PPR points per game, boosted by weekly finishes at RB2 (Week 18) and RB5 (Week 15). Both came against bottom-6 defenses in fantasy points allowed to RBs (Dallas and Washington).
Tracy also posted weekly finishes at RB12 and RB13 but added 10 weeks outside the top 30.
Tracy opened the season in the starting role, topping rookie Cam Skattebo in touches, 12-4. But Skattebo took over the backfield for Week 2, leading in touches (13-9), carries (11-5), and snaps (33-27). Skattebo also held a slight edge in routes (40.0% to 37.8%).
A shoulder injury knocked Tracy out of Week 3 and sidelined him for the next two games. He then played only one more game with Skattebo before the rookie suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 8.
After Skattebo went down, Tracy ranked 12th in RB snap share and 14th in carries from Week 9 on, while his route rate and target share both ranked 11th at the position.
Tracy managed only 2 rushing TDs largely because Jaxson Dart became a major goal-line factor. After taking over in Week 4, Dart finished fifth among QBs with 12 goal-line attempts, leaving Tracy with just six goal-line carries and only one inside the five.
Tracy’s volume helped cover up an underwhelming efficiency profile.
Among 51 RBs with 90+ attempts, he finished:
Overall, his efficiency marks trailed Skattebo’s:
| Yards Per Carry | Success Rate | Missed Tackles Forced Per att | Yards After Conact Per Att | Yards Per Route | Yards Per Catch | |
| Skattebo | 4.1 | 50.5% | 0.26 | 2.82 | 1.70 | 8.6 |
| Tracy | 4.2 | 44.9% | 0.12 | 2.17 | 1.18 | 8.0 |
Tracy missed two games with a dislocated right shoulder. He also left Week 13 with a bruised hip and a (neck) stinger.
He sustained a concussion in Week 8 of 2024 but didn’t miss a game.
The Giants didn’t add competition to a backfield of Skattebo and Tracy.
Skattebo’s ankle recovery continues to trend well, with the rookie even logging some reps at minicamp. He remains on track for Week 1 and looks set to lead the backfield after HC John Harbaugh labeled him the starter in June.
That likely leaves Tracy in a low-volume role, with our projections pegging him for only 7.1 carries and 1.2 catches per game.
Jaxson Dart returns for his first full season as the starter.
His advanced metrics were mixed as a rookie. Among 34 QBs with 300+ snaps, he ranked 14th in expected points added (EPA) per play, 19th in passing success rate, and 25th in completion rate over expected. There’s certainly room for the second-year Round 1 QB to grow, especially if Malik Nabers regains full health after missing most of last season with a torn ACL and meniscus.
The Giants return four starters from a capable O-line. The only change comes at RG, where Round 1 pick Francis Mauigoa will move inside from his college RT spot. The 6’5, 330-pounder presents a talent upgrade on 2025 starter Greg Van Roten, a 36-year-old who finished with average marks in Pro Football Focus’ run-blocking grades.
The Giants have a new play caller in OC Matt Nagy, who spent the past three seasons as Andy Reid’s OC but didn’t call plays. He held that job from 2018-2021 as Chicago’s HC, posting finishes of sixth, 20th, 27th, and 11th in rush attempts.
His finishes in run rate:
Nagy’s units also lacked efficiency, ranking 27th, 29th, 21st, and 21st in yards per carry.
Our current projections put the Giants at a 46% run rate, which would have ranked ninth last season. That helps give Tracy some chance at emerging as more than a handcuff.
Skattebo’s 2025 ankle injury could affect his 2026 play, which would give Tracy a chance to earn a larger role. The offense could also improve if Nabers returns healthy and Dart improves. But even in that case, Tracy’s ceiling likely stops short of RB2 territory without Skattebo missing time.
A healthy Skattebo likely leads this backfield, and Nagy’s history doesn’t suggest the type of rushing environment that can support two fantasy-relevant RBs. Tracy might be no more than a handcuff.

Matt Nagy Clouds the Giants’ Breakout Chances
Matt Nagy Clouds the Giants’ Breakout Chances
The Giants are hiring Matt Nagy as their OC, according to multiple reports. Todd Monken was reportedly HC John Harbaugh's top choice for the job. But, like Harbaugh, Nagy has strong ties to Andy Reid. Nagy started his coaching career under Reid in Philadelphia and spent the past four seasons with Reid in Kansas City, serving as OC for the last three.

Fox's Jay Glazer reports that the Raiders plan to shut Edge Maxx Crosby down for the season's final two games. Crosby -- who has been playing through at least a knee injury for a while -- reportedly does not like the team's decision.

Very little went right for the Giants in Week 16, but RB Tyrone Tracy continued to lead New York's backfield in playing time and production. Tracy out-touched Devin Singletary 18-12 and accounted for 55.3% of the Giants' total yards in the team's 16-13 loss to the Vikings. Tracy also commanded a 35-21 lead over Singletary in snaps.
Tyrone Tracy Will Play Week 15
Tyrone Tracy Will Play Week 15
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy (hip) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. We don’t know exactly how work will be divvied between Tracy and Devin Singletary on Sunday, but the backfield boasts plenty of upside with the Giants 2.5-point favorites vs. the Commanders’ 23rd-ranked RB defense.
Tyrone Tracy A Full-Go On Wednesday
Tyrone Tracy A Full-Go On Wednesday
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy (hip) was a full-go in Wednesday's practice. He's set to play vs. the Commanders this weekend after getting knocked out of New York's last game before the Week 14 bye. RB Devin Singletary was out-touching Tracy in that one before the injury -- but Tracy had played ahead of Singletary the previous three games. This is a tricky backfield to project heading into Week 15. But the matchup against Washington's 23rd-ranked RB defense makes both guys worth considering as RB3s with upside.
