The New York Giants will face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 16. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Is Tyrone Tracy Playing in Week 16?
Evidently, Tracy picked up an ankle injury in last week’s game. He was limited all three days at practice and drew a questionable tag. I would expect Tracy to play, but Devin Singletary would serve as the lead back if Tracy can’t go.
We’ll continue to monitor the Giants’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Tyrone Tracy in Week 16?
Tyrone Tracy Jr. is basically doubling Devin Singletary in snaps these days, and while he’s been able to outrun his veteran backfield mate to a degree, he’s been unable to outrun the general stench of this offensive environment.
Over the past two weeks, Tracy has fewer PPR fantasy points than was expected in Week 14 alone (cumulative: 35.3% below expectations). It’s been more than a month since his last 20-yard touch, and with touchdowns the only thing saving him recently from his inefficiency, you’re walking a thin line if you’re counting on this offense to frequent the red zone.
We are looking at more of a Flex play in Tracy these days than the RB2 we had hoped he’d be, but at least his reasonable volume should stabilize him from falling any further against the 10th-worst run defense in terms of success rate this season.
