Chris Raybon thinks Tyrone Tracy is a screaming value around RB30 while fantasy drafters chase rookie Scattaboo and overreact to Devin Singletary’s preseason goal-line carry. Tracy logged five straight touches with the starters in the first exhibition game and has looked like the most explosive back on the roster. With Daniel Jones and the rest of the Giants offense expected to take a step forward, Raybon believes Tracy can seize a majority share of early-down and receiving work, making him a cheap path to top-20 RB production.

Jakob Sanderson highlighted Tyrone Tracy as the cheapest avenue to a potential bell-cow in 2024 drafts. Tracy is lasting until the 8th–9th round even though Sanderson believes the Giants’ backfield will ultimately belong to one runner, not a season-long committee. Tracy just finished a campaign as a clear NFL lead back, brings proven pass-game chops thanks to his receiver background, and could command 75–80% of snaps if he wins the job. With first-round pick Malik Nabers adding explosive playmaking, Sanderson thinks the Giants’ offense could outperform expectations, making a Tracy takeover a league-swinging outcome at a modest cost.

Strachan chose Tyrone Tracy over Brian Robinson as his RB3 because Tracy projects for consistent passing-game work in the Giants’ backfield. With Cam Skattebo already hurt, Tracy should control most third-down snaps, and Strachan values that reception floor in half-PPR scoring more than Robinson’s early-down volume on a crowded Washington depth chart.

Cooter Doodle urged fantasy managers to sell Tyrone Tracy after New York’s preseason opener revealed a messy committee. Devin Singletary logged a 57% route participation rate and out-snapped Tracy with the starters, while fourth-round pick Cam Skattebo is expected to see the field soon, adding yet another body to the mix. With the Giants’ coaching staff already on the hot seat following last year’s 3-14 campaign, Doodle doubts Tracy will get the long leash drafters hoped for and views him as a short-term placeholder whose value could evaporate quickly.

Nick Whalen recommended late shots on Tyrone Tracy after ESPN’s Jordan Raanan told the Rotowire crew that “there is no competition right now” between Tracy and the injured Cam Scataboe. With Scataboe sidelined, Tracy has been operating as the clear RB1 in camp. Whalen acknowledged Tracy’s fumbling history and the Giants’ brutal schedule limit upside but argued that landing a likely Week-1 starter for free is still worth the gamble at the end of drafts.

Hayden Winks is below market on Tyrone Tracy (his RB37 vs ADP RB31). He expects Brian Daboll to run a three-man committee featuring rookie Cam Scatabo—10 pounds heavier and, in Hayden’s words, ‘one of the best receiving backs I’ve scouted’—plus veteran Devin Singletary. Tracy’s 70% snap share from last year is unlikely to repeat, and Hayden doubts he keeps goal-line work with the bigger Scatabo in town. Given a bottom-tier offensive line and low projected scoring environment for the Giants, Hayden prefers to either pay up for backs he loves or wait and take contingent plays like Ray Davis or Tyler Allgeier instead of gambling on Tracy’s middle-range profile.

Josh pushed back on the fade, calling Tyrone Tracy the undisputed lead back in New York. He reminded listeners Tracy racked up 1,100 yards and six TDs last year and is now being drafted as the Giants’ second runner. Beat writer Jordan Raanan reportedly told him it is ‘clearly Tyron Tracy’s backfield, 100%.’ Cam Scatabo has missed time and wasn’t seeing first-team reps even when healthy, so Josh trusts the workload to stay with Tracy. At an RB31 price tag he sees profit potential for a player locked into early-down and red-zone work on a team that still wants to run the ball to protect Daniel Jones.

Rich Hribar highlighted Giants beat reporter Jordan Raanan’s unusually emphatic note that Tyrone Tracy is the Week-1 lead back while Cam Scataboo "won’t be involved." Hribar said the certainty of that report “adds weight” and gives Tracy real early-season touch volume at pick 99, making him a priority late dart even if ball-security issues could shorten his leash later in the year.

Best Ball Guy shifted his late-round exposure from Skadabo to Tyrone Tracy after a local radio report claimed Tracy will start and news broke that Skadabo is headed for an MRI. Tracy’s promising Year-2 performance plus a Week-14 bye—ideal for Underdog’s Eliminator structure—make him the sharper dart throw. Best Ball Guy is "pulling the plug" on Skadabo and loading up on Tracy while his price is still cheap.

Josh said fantasy drafters should treat Tyrone Tracy as the clear lead back for the Giants and grab him with confidence at his current RB31 price tag. He reminded listeners that Tracy piled up 1,100 yards and six scores last year and, once he grabbed the starting job in Week 5, produced RB20 fantasy points per game. Giants beat reporter Jordan Raanan has since called the backfield “100 percent Tyrone Tracy’s,” noting that Cam Scatterbo missed time and wasn’t seeing first-team reps even when healthy. Josh added that New York ranked dead last in expected RB touchdowns in 2024 because the offense was a mess, but he expects a jump with Russell Wilson replacing Daniel Jones, setting Tracy up for more red-zone chances. Given the combination of pedigree-defying production, an injured/ineffective backup and a rising offense, Josh views Tracy as a steal who can anchor Season-Long teams.

Tracy is Koh’s favorite Giant to draft outside pick 80. A former wide receiver, he ranked top-15 among RBs in targets last year despite not starting until Week 5. If he opens 2025 as the lead back, Koh projects top-10—possibly top-five—RB targets. That reception volume provides a stable PPR floor even if Cam Scataboe claws away carries. Koh views Tracy as a floor-and-ceiling steal in the mid-rounds.

PPRTyler called Tyrone Tracy Jr. “a decent pick right now” because he sees two distinct avenues to a lead-back role: either a teammate goes down (“scatable injury”) or Tracy simply wins the backfield outright. With running-back options drying up in his draft, Tyler preferred Tracy over waiting several rounds, arguing the upside is worth the small cost in Best Ball formats.

Billy Ward placed Tyrone Tracy roughly 15 places over ADP because film and usage suggest he seized starting RB duties last year despite broader Giants struggles. With the offense projected to improve under new quarterbacks, Tracy’s three-down capability becomes a cheap ceiling bet.

Pat Kerrane admitted he is underexposed to Tyrone Tracy—even though the converted wide receiver is penciled in as the Week-1 starter with a true three-down workload. Tracy, unlike Cam Skattebo, has the draft-capital edge and will open the season handling passing-down duties plus goal-line work. Kerrane likened the situation to Rachaad White holding off Sean Tucker last year, noting Tracy "is good enough to hold off his backup" and could simply keep piling up high-value touches if the rookie behind him is "just not ready." Because ADP inflation has centered on Skattebo, Tracy now goes a round later despite the immediate lead role; Kerrane says he plans to boost exposure, viewing Tracy as a boring but potentially profitable pick who could consolidate the backfield before the fantasy playoffs.

Chris Raybon grudgingly sides with Tyrone Tracy over Cam Scataboe. Camp reports say Scataboe lacks the power he needs to thrive as a contact runner, and Raybon is skeptical he’ll master pass protection quickly enough to earn third-down snaps. Devin Singletary’s $6.3 M cap hit virtually guarantees a three-back committee, but Raybon still expects Tracy—despite a limited ceiling—to see the most early-down work. Add in shaky offensive-line play and frequent negative game scripts, and Raybon is passing on Scataboe’s uncertain profile and taking Tracy when forced to roster a Giants back.

Ian Hartitz said Tyrone Tracy is the Giants running back he is most willing to bet on, even though both Tracy and Dante Scatebo go off the board within a pick or two of each other. Tracy’s background as a converted wide receiver explains occasional ball-security blips, but Hartitz is happy to grant leeway because the athletic upside is obvious and the entire New York depth chart is unsettled. With the Giants priced down solely due to uncertainty—similar to the Cowboys and Jaguars backfields—Hartitz prefers scooping these late-round backs over middling QB-15 or TE-18 types. The logic is simple: if Tracy flames out you can cut him, but if he wins the job or an injury strikes he instantly becomes the waiver-wire headline of the week. That contingent upside makes Tracy the dart Hartitz keeps throwing in both best-ball drafts and deep redraft leagues.

Jim Coventry advised passing on Tyrone Tracy at RB33. Tracy looked promising before the Week 11 bye, averaging 5.4 YPC and 16 carries per game from Weeks 5-10. After the bye his efficiency plunged to 3.46 YPC and usage dipped to 12 carries, signaling durability concerns. The Giants then spent early Day 3 capital on Cam Scataboo, a back who can catch as well, threatening Tracy’s third-down appeal. Coventry doubts Tracy sees meaningful goal-line or early-down work and says he would need heavy reception volume to justify his ADP—a path that no longer looks realistic.

Overzet grabbed rookie Tyrone Tracy at pick 110 and laid out why he prefers him over sixth-round teammate Cam Skattebo. Tracy converted from wide receiver, giving him the pass-catching chops coaches want, and should see the bulk of early-down work in what Overzet believes will be an improved offense with Russell Wilson under center. Skattebo’s short-yardage profile does not scare him because the team did not invest heavy draft capital there. Bottom line: Tracy is the cheapest path to lead-back volume in this backfield and worth any draft-room slide past ADP 110.

Jon Warner warned drafters to steer clear of Tyrone Tracy Jr. at his mid-round Sprint ADP. Tracy’s 2023 Purdue production was volume-driven—4.9 yards per carry and only five runs of 20+ yards—and Warner expects that volume to dry up once a more traditional early-down hammer like Cam Skattebo shows better in camp. Warner noted Tracy is a converted wideout who still struggles in pass protection, a flaw that costs rookies snaps in real NFL games no matter how explosive they look in space. Because high-value touches (goal-line and third-down reps) are likely to funnel elsewhere, Tracy would need multiple breakaway plays each week to pay off, something Warner called ‘a low-probability bet you’re being asked to draft at ceiling.’ He has Tracy two full rounds lower in his personal ranks.
