Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Tracy's NFL career could be much better than his collegiate one when it's all said and done. Last year's tackle-breaking metrics should raise your eyebrows, especially for a player still acclimating to the position. Tracy ranked fourth in yards after contact per attempt and fifth in elusive rating (per PFF). Purdue offered him the most vanilla offensive role possible in the passing game with his receiver background. I expect the Giants to rectify that when he does garner snaps. Tracy only has to unseat Eric Gray to earn the RB2 role for the Giants. Gray didn't do anything to wow the team last year with his 2.8 yards per carry and 1.53 yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). Devin Singletary looks like the team's workhorse, but if he goes down, Tracy could take over three-down duties. He's one of the best handcuff options in drafts.

The New York Giants selected RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. with the No. 166 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Tracy changed positions last season, moving from wide receiver to running back where he displayed flashes of his potential. He'll have the opportunity to earn a role in the Giants backfield behind Devin Singletary with lots of touches opened up following the departure of Saquon Barkley.
