New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie back has been limited in practice this week due to an ankle injury. Luckily, it sounds like a day-to-day issue, so Tracy still has a decent chance at returning in time for this contest. If he sits, Devin Singletary is expected to take over as the lead back for Week 16. Singletary began the season as the lead back in New York, but eventually lost the job to Tracy. Singletary rushed eight times for 25 yards and a touchdown last week. There's some flex appeal here if Tracy is unable to go for this game.
According to Dan Salomone of Giants.com, rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) was a limited participant again during Thursday's practice. Fantasy managers should closely monitor his status during Friday's session as he will likely need to log a full practice to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game. Tracy has battled a lingering ankle injury throughout the season but he has yet to miss any time due to it. Last weekend, Tracy only logged ten carries as the Giants were trailing heavily throughout. Over his past nine games, the rookie running back has averaged 4.4 yards per carry while scoring 14.1 PPR points per game. If Tracy is able to suit up on Sunday, he should be viewed as a low-end RB2 facing the Atlanta Falcons, who have allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points to opposing running backs this season.
New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) was added to the Week 16 injury report on Wednesday after he put in a limited practice. It's a new injury for Tracy, so his status is worth watching the rest of the week, but if he's able to upgrade to a full practice on Thursday or Friday, he should be fine to play in a Week 16 tilt against the Atlanta Falcons on the road this weekend. The 25-year-old rookie has taken over lead-back duties from Devin Singletary for the majority of the season and has averaged 16.6 touches and 84.5 scrimmage yards in the last 10 games while also adding five rushing touchdowns. The fantasy upside certainly isn't very high given the Giants' pitiful quarterback situation -- Singletary is a threat to vulture TDs as well -- but for the volume alone, Tracy garners RB3/flex appeal if he's active for Week 16.
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. struggled to find his footing in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Despite leading the backfield with 10 carries, Tracy managed just 31 rushing yards with a long of 12 and a modest 3.1 yards per carry, failing to find the end zone. He added one reception for four yards, finishing the game with four fantasy points. While Tracy had more carries than Devin Singletary, who logged eight, Singletary capitalized on a goal-line opportunity for a touchdown and outpaced Tracy in the passing game with three receptions. Both backs tied for total touches at 11, but Tracy's limited efficiency and lack of scoring opportunities muted his impact.
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has been a steady fantasy contributor since taking over as the starter in Week 5, averaging 13.72 fantasy points per game (16th among RBs in that span). In Week 14 against the Saints, Tracy Jr. logged 45 rushing yards, a touchdown, and 38 receiving yards on five catches, demonstrating his dual-threat ability. However, Week 15 presents a tough challenge against the Ravens, who boast the league's top-ranked rushing defense, allowing just 82.7 yards per game and only 11 rushing touchdowns this season. While Baltimore's defense ranks 9th in limiting fantasy points to RBs, Tracy's receiving skills could provide some upside against a unit that is vulnerable to allowing passing yards due to teams playing catch-up against their potent offense.
