  Tyrone Tracy Jr. — Week 2: Twenty-One Runs, None for Tracy

  Tracy had no carry and no target on Monday night, and the week's stat file lists him with nothing from scrimmage — his only run, a 3-yard loss with 3:06 left in the half, was wiped out by a Rams offside penalty, and his other work was two 26-yard kickoff returns. The Giants' 21 designed runs went 12 to Cam Skattebo, four to Najee Harris, three to Devin Singletary and two to Jameis Winston, in a 28–6 loss to the Rams.

  Tyrone Tracy Jr. — Week 1: Two Carries, One Lost Fumble

  Tracy carried twice for 14 yards and was not targeted; the second carry, second and eleven at the Dallas 29 with 2:00 left in the half, tied 7–7, was an eight-yard gain and a lost fumble, the largest win-probability swing of any pass or run in the game. Devin Singletary took the passing-down work with four targets and four catches, in a 28–20 win over the Cowboys.

  Tyrone Tracy Jr. Camp Update — August 31: The fumble weeks got an answer

  Tracy ran four times for thirty-seven yards and a touchdown in the finale, cleared a first-half concussion evaluation, and is on the initial fifty-three the Giants announced Sunday, per the team's release — a direct rebuttal of two straight weeks of fumbles. One good night does not settle the file, but the audition got its answer.

  Tyrone Tracy Jr. Camp Update — August 16: Two Missed Blitzes Put the Third-Down Case on Notice

  Tyrone Tracy Jr. whiffed on two blitz pickups against Minnesota, including the one that sent Jaxson Dart to the medical tent. His path to touches ran through passing downs, and passing downs are exactly where Saturday graded him worst.

  Tyrone Tracy 2026 Season Preview — what repeats, what doesn't

  Tracy finished RB28 across 15 games at 9.5 half-PPR points per game, a season built on sustained opportunity rather than efficiency spikes. Volume-based production like that tends to carry between seasons, making the role itself the thing worth watching.

  Show notes & transcript

  Tyrone Tracy has given the Giants two nearly identical seasons — 9.6 and 9.5 Half-PPR points a game — and the market has priced him like neither happened. RB42, pick one-32, 11 spots below his own rate. The discount isn't about his tape. It's about the man rehabbing an ankle one locker over.

  The season: 15 games, a hundred 76 carries for 740 yards — 4.2 a carry — +36 catches on 48 targets for 288 more, and four total touchdowns. 9.5 Half-PPR points a game, 30-first among backs per game, 20-eighth in total. That's a thousand 28 scrimmage yards on a four-and-13 team — his second straight year over a thousand from scrimmage, which SI's Giants coverage notes makes him the third Giant ever to open a career with two of those, after Odell Beckham and Saquon Barkley. The receiving chops are the fantasy-relevant part: 36 catches at half a point each is the floor this format pays for.

  Two seasons, one shape: nine-six as a rookie converted receiver, nine-five in year two, 17 15 games. In a format that rewards catching, a back who was a wideout in college keeps arriving pre-adapted.

  The pattern beat is honest about its limits. Our library has no validated running back volume-stickiness pattern — the year-over-year receipts we trust are receiver and tight end stats — and the year-two-back pattern we tested is dead on our public kill list. Aging isn't in play either; this is career year three, and the fade cohort starts at five. So the licensed observation is narrow: two consecutive seasons at the same rate is his own base rate, his touchdown share is modest — point-one-five, no luck to unwind — and everything else in this price is a coaching decision our data can't model.

  The coaching decision, dated. John Harbaugh was hired in January — five years, per the team site — and imported his Baltimore infrastructure: Matt Nagy coordinating, and Patrick Ricard, signed in March as the league's highest-paid fullback, per Big Blue View. That's a power-run identity forming. The competition: Cam Skattebo, whose 20-25 ended in late October with a gruesome ankle — dislocation and fracture, per Bleacher Report — was back in 11-on-11 work by June ninth of minicamp, per PFT, and the June reporting splits cleanly down the middle: Bleacher Report expects him to reclaim clear lead duties; SI's June fifteenth read says Tracy should be the RB1, quote, by default, but the expectation is a committee. Nobody in the building has said the words. Jaxson Dart enters year two behind it, and Malik Nabers' second knee procedure clouds the passing game's ceiling, per PFT in May.

  The price: RB42 at pick one-32 for a back who has finished 30-first and 20-eighth by rate in consecutive seasons — the market is pricing the committee's worst-case seat. Our verdict: watchlist. We can't underwrite a job the head coach won't describe, and we won't fade two identical thousand-yard seasons either. Caveat, both directions: if Skattebo's ankle makes him the tone-setter Harbaugh keeps praising, Tracy's the two-minute back and this price is right; if the committee tilts even slightly toward the pass-catcher, you bought a weekly flex at a bench price.

  Watch the preseason touch script — who takes the first third-down series — and Skattebo's practice load when pads come on. A power scheme with a highest-paid fullback still needs somebody to catch it on third down, and that somebody has caught 74 passes in two years. He's one of your guys? Every player on your roster gets this treatment — every week, all season.
