New York Giants DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston turned in an excellent performance in his first start since 2022, throwing for 334 yards and three touchdowns in an upset win over the Baltimore Ravens. He will look to keep it going at home against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. The Chargers have a much better pass defense than the Ravens as they are allowing just the 25th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. That being said, Winston looked good last week and is worth trusting as a low-end QB2 in superflex and two-quarterback formats this weekend.

Per Jordan Raanan of ESPN, New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will play this Sunday in Week 9. It's excellent news for the rookie, who is coming off his best game on the ground of his young career thus far -- a 145-yard, one-touchdown performance against a stout Pittsburgh Steelers defense. He'll get a much easier matchup this Sunday when New York hosts their division-rival Washington Commanders at MetLife stadium. Washington has allowed 5.1 yards per carry to opposing rushing attacks this season -- the third-highest figure in the league. With the rookie back to full health, backfield mate Devin Singletary figures to again rotate in behind him in a change-of-pace role.

New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (concussion) continues to progress well and barring a setback, is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders according to Pat Leonard of NYDN Sports. This is a great sign for the rookie running back who suffered a concussion during last Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, it looks like the Purdue product should be able to progress through the league's protocol and not miss any time. Since Week 5, Tracy has emerged as the top option out of the New York backfield and has averaged an impressive 86.8 rushing yards per game in this span. If he can suit up, the 24-year-old should be viewed as a solid RB2 facing the Commanders who have allowed the 19th-most PPR points to opposing RBs this season.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (concussion) is working through the league's concussion protocol but was on the practice field in a red non-contact jersey on Thursday. The rookie out of Purdue will be listed as a limited participant on Thursday's official practice report, but being upgraded from a "DNP" to a limited session is promising for his potential Week 9 availability against the Washington Commanders. Tracy has been excellent since taking over the lead-back role from Devin Singletary, posting at least 107 yards of total offense in three of his last four games. He has found the end zone three times during that stretch. If Tracy can suit up on Sunday, he'll face a Commanders' defense that is a neutral matchup for running backs. He has an RB2 outlook, making him a virtual must-start in most leagues. If he can't play, Devin Singletary will be worth consideration in lineups, but he has a lower ceiling than the explosive rookie.

New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (concussion) was seen on the field working with the training staff during Wednesday's practice according to Art Stapleton of USA Today. Stapleton further reported that if the rookie running back responds well he could progress to a non-contact participant on Thursday. Tracy sustained a concussion during the final quarter in Monday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression during the week as he could have an outside chance of suiting up to face Washington if he progresses through the concussion protocol. If not, veteran Devin Singletary should be expected to take the lead in Week 9.
