OCTOBER 14, 2024 • GIANTS.COM

Primed for massive opportunity With Devin Singletary (groin) out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Bengals, Tracy is set to see the lion's share of the workload out of the backfield.

Impact This marks another massive opportunity for the 2024 fifth-round pick. Eric Gray seemed to operate as the team's preferred starter very early in the Week 5 contest, but Gray's fumble on the opening drive opened the door for Tracy, who blasted through to the tune of 7.2 yards per carry on just 12 attempts. The 24-year-old is a bit slight (210 pounds) for his 5-foot-11 frame, but while he doesn't profile as a true three-down workhorse, there's reason to believe the converted collegiate wide receiver could be used more in passing situations as well. With Malik Nabers (concussion) out again, the Giants might be forced to get creative offensively, which would be notable for Tracy's fantasy prospects.

RB Tyrone Tracy Jr on breakout performance Running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. speaks to the media after the Giants' win over the Seattle Seahawks.

OCTOBER 7, 2024 • GIANTS.COM

Steps up with 129 rushing yards Tracy rushed 18 times for 129 yards and caught one of two targets for one yard in Sunday's 29-20 win over the Seahawks.

Impact Tracy ceded some early touches to Eric Gray, but after Gray had a disastrous fumble at the goal line on the opening drive, Tracy took over as the main man in a Giants backfield that was without Devin Singletary (groin). This was a surprisingly effective effort on the ground from Tracy considering the rookie fifth-round draft pick came into the game with only 29 yards on 12 rushing attempts (2.4 YPC) before galloping for 7.2 YPC in the Week 5 win. Tracy has likely earned a larger role for Week 6 against the Bengals and beyond, though it remains to be seen if he has done enough to unseat Singletary atop the running back depth chart.

Set for No. 1 role Sunday Tracy is set to operate as the Giants' lead back in Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Seahawks with Devin Singletary (groin) inactive for the contest, per Dan Salomone of the tea...

Impact Tracy has been building up to his No. 1 role by taking first-team reps throughout the week, and the rookie fifth-round pick will now have a chance to log his most extensive workload as a pro yet. The matchup against a Seahawks defense that's allowed just 82.0 rushing yards per contest through its first two home games is daunting on paper; however, Tracy could make for a viable deeper-league and DFS tournament option based on the volume he should see with only second-year back Eric Gray and practice-squad call-up Dante Miller to compete with for carries.

OCTOBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Likely lead back against Seahawks Tracy is in line to lead the Giants' backfield Sunday against the Seahawks, as Devin Singletary (groin) is listed as doubtful, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact If Singletary doesn't play, Eric Gray would likely mix in as well, but Tracy has 18 combined carries and targets through four games compared to Gray's five. Tracy has averaged just 2.4 yards per carry in his young career, but the rookie fifth-round pick out of Purdue could be an intriguing PPR dart throw, as he's a converted wide receiver who can contribute as a pass catcher out of the backfield as well as on the ground.

Limited production in Week 4 Tracy rushed four times for two yards and secured one catch for 19 yards in Thursday's 20-15 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact Tracy saw his usage decrease slightly in Week 4, playing 15 offensive snaps against Dallas. The rookie made his most significant play in the third quarter, turning a short pass into a 19-yard reception. Tracy remains firmly behind Devin Singletary in New York's backfield, though he has distanced himself from Eric Gray to operate as the team's clear No. 2 option at running back.

Sees uptick in touches Week 3 Tracy rushed five times for 23 yards and added two catches on two targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 21-15 win against Cleveland.

Impact Tracy's performance was highlighted by a 12-yard catch-and-run in the first quarter that helped set up New York's first touchdown. Overall, the rookie running back logged his most touches (seven) and highest total yardage (40) through three games this season. Veteran Devin Singletary posted a 16-65-1 line on the ground and a 4-43-0 line through the air and remains the Giants' lead back, but Tracy appears to be distancing himself from second-year RB Eric Gray for the backup role. Gray had just one touch on offense Sunday and played on only three of New York's offensive snaps to Tracy's 22.

Gets just one touch Week 2 Tracy rushed once for two yards and didn't receive any passing targets in Sunday's loss to Washington. He added one kick return for 28 yards.

Impact Tracy's lone touch on offense came in the second quarter, when he notched a two-yard rush on a second-down play. While he did contribute in the return game, second-year back Eric Gray made more of an impact in that regard, returning five kickoffs for 128 yards. Tracy's lack of opportunities on offense Sunday didn't correlate with more work for Gray, who got zero touches -- instead, the game plan was a further indication that Devin Singletary, who tallied 95 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries, may be used in a workhorse role similar to how Saquon Barkley was deployed last season. Through two weeks, Tracy has just three carries and three targets to Singletary's 26 and six, respectively.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Works as No. 2 running back Week 1 Tracy carried twice for two yards and caught one of three targets for five yards in Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Devin Singletary led New York's backfield with 50 offensive snaps (70 percent of the team's total) in the loss, while Tracy logged 15 offensive snaps and Eric Gray tallied seven. Gray was slightly more effective than Tracy with six yards on two carries and nine yards on one reception, but there isn't much to glean from the pair's production given their limited touches. Based on the Week 1 snap counts, it appears Singletary could function in a workhorse role while Tracy and Gray, in that order, pick up leftovers behind him. However, more clarity could come when/if the Giants are involved in a competitive contest -- the team trailed throughout Sunday's opener, resulting in Daniel Jones putting up 42 pass attempts.

Avoids practice report Tracy (ankle) wasn't listed on the Giants' practice report Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Impact During an Aug. 13 session, Tracy initially suffered what was believed to be a serious injury to his lower right leg, which spurred the Giants to encase it in an air cast, cart him off the field and transport him to the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan. Eventually, the 2024 fifth-round selection was diagnosed with a low-ankle sprain, and within a week he was back on the practice field. Now that he's back to 100 percent, Tracy will serve as the No. 2 RB behind Devin Singletary to begin his rookie campaign.
