Tyrone Tracy Jr. Fantasy Overview

2024 Summary

Production & Fantasy Finishes

Tracy was among the surprise rookie performers of 2024.

Across 17 games, he totaled 839 rushing yards and five TDs. He added 38 catches, 284 yards, and one additional score.

The fifth-round pick finished RB26 in total PPR points; 31st in points per game. He recorded four top-12 fantasy finishes and five between RB13-RB24.

Tracy’s four worst weekly finishes were RB59, RB66, RB43, and RB51. Each one surfaced across New York’s first four games, before his role spiked.

Usage & Role

Tracy entered the season in a backup role. He handled only 12 carries over his first four appearances.

But when Devin Singletary suffered an early-season groin injury, Tracy handled lead back work and never looked back.

This was the backfield split after Singletary returned from injury in Week 7:

• Tracy
  • 145 carries
  • 39 targets
• Singletary
  • 57 carries
  • 13 targets

Efficiency Metrics

Boosted volume was key, as Tracy typically didn’t win on efficiency.

Among 47 RBs with 90+ carries, Tracy ranked:

• 28th in Pro Football Focus elusive rating
• 33rd in rush yards over expected per attempt
• 35th in PFF rushing grade
• 35th in yards after contact per attempt

His marks underwhelmed as a receiver, too. Among 37 RBs with 30+ targets, he ranked:

• 29th in yards per route run
• 35th in PFF receiving grade

Ball security will be another area to watch. He tallied four fumbles on 230 total touches.

Offensive Context

Tracy entered fantasy lineups despite a rough supporting cast.

The Giants ranked 30th in total yards and 31st in scoring. Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, and Tommy DeVito combined to throw for just 182.6 passing yards per game. Collectively, they went 3-14 with a -142 point differential.

Up front, the Giants ranked 26th in ESPN’s run block win rate. A foot injury limited LT Andrew Thomas – New York’s best lineman – to six games. He’s at least on track to be 100% for Week 1.

HC Brian Daboll and OC Mike Kafka piloted a unit that ranked 14th in offensive plays, 14th in pace, and 15th in neutral pass rate.

Injury History

Tracy was carted off from a training camp practice due to an ankle injury. Surprisingly, he wound up missing only a couple days of practice.

In-season, Tracy overcame a concussion and ankle injury to play all 17 games.

2025 Expectations

Projected Role & Competition

Expect a shared backfield after the selection of Round 4 RB Cam Skattebo. His college profile showed a powerful runner with excellent receiving ability.

Now, he didn’t break out until his final college season. But the 2024 was truly special:

• 293 carries
• 1,712 yards (5.8 YPC)
• 21 TDs
• 44 catches
• 543 yards (12.3 YPC)
• 3 TDs

And consider this tidbit on Skattebo from team insider Connor Hughes:

Don’t be surprised if he ends up as the team’s third-down back. He’s a capable blocker, but very good as a receiver out of the backfield. His dad was a 6-5 wideout and used to drill him on the fundamentals of route running, Skattebo said. He might be the Giants' most talented receiving back.

Neither Skattebo nor Tracy was particularly effective in pass protection last season, but that may prove to be the deciding factor on third downs.

Supporting Cast

Tracy’s offensive environment looks marginally better in 2025.

Russell Wilson arrives to stabilize the QB room. His days of top-tier play are long gone, but his performance in Pittsburgh shows that league-average play is possible.

If Wilson falters, the Giants have talented fallback options in Jameis Winston and rookie Jaxson Dart.

The Giants return all five starters along the O-line. They struggled in spurts last season, hurt by 11 missed games from LT Andrew Thomas. He’s coming off Lisfranc (foot) surgery in October.

New York also struggled to get passable play from former Round 1 OT Evan Neal, who’ll attempt to earn a starting spot at guard.

At bottom, the O-line isn’t a position of strength entering training camp.

Coaching & Offensive Scheme

We don’t yet know if HC Brian Daboll or OC Mike Kafka will call plays. Last year, Daboll took back play-calling duties from Kafka.

Regardless, there’s not much to love here. Daboll’s units have finished 8th, 16th, and 23rd in rush attempts since earning the job.

His offenses have scored 3+ TDs in only 11 of 51 games (21.5%) over the past three seasons.
