Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Status in question for Sunday
Rotowire
Tracy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Atlanta, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Tracy was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday due to an ankle injury, which is clouding his status for Week 16 action. The Giants kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, so his availability, or lack thereof, will be known before the early slate of games. Devin Singletary would be poised to lead New York's backfield if Tracy is inactive, with Eric Gray also available for any RB reps that linger.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Limited again Thursday
Rotowire
Tracy (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Tracy has kicked off Week 16 prep with back-to-back capped sessions due to an ankle issue, giving him only more chance to log a full practice in advance of the weekend. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not he's given a designation for Sunday's game at Atlanta. Since the Giants' Week 11 bye, Tracy has averaged 14.0 touches for 63.3 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring two rushing TDs over the last four contests.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Dealing with ankle issue
Rotowire
Tracy was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
Tracy dealt with a right low-ankle sprain in August, but the health concern didn't affect his status for Week 1 and beyond. Since he regularly started earning a 60 percent snap share beginning Week 5 at Seattle, he's averaged 16.6 touches for 84.5 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring five rushing touchdowns over the last 10 contests. Tracy's status will be watched as the week continues to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's road matchup with the Falcons.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Modest production in loss
Rotowire
Tracy carried 10 times for 31 yards and brought in one of four targets for four yards in the Giants' 35-14 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Tracy predictably saw only a modest amount of opportunity in a game that eventually got away from the Giants as expected. The rookie running back now has four straight sub-50-yard totals on the ground, and his receiving production Sunday was his lowest since Week 10. Tracy should have a good chance of bouncing back in a favorable Week 16 road matchup against the Falcons, although it bears noting he outpaced backfield mate Devin Singletary by only two carries Sunday.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy Jr.: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Tracy is having an outstanding rookie season, especially with the Giants being such a bad team, and he has scored at least 14.5 PPR points in three games in a row heading into Week 15 against Baltimore. But this is a bad spot for Tracy, and I would consider him a flex option at best in the majority of leagues. The Ravens are No. 9 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and only Saquon Barkley in Week 13 had more than 63 rushing yards against Baltimore this season. Now, the Ravens are among the league leaders in receptions allowed to running backs with 65, and Tracy just had five catches for 38 yards on 10 targets against the Saints in Week 16. But the Giants are 14.5 underdogs at home, and the Ravens should be able to contain Tracy in this matchup. I'm not expecting Tracy to be a league-winning Fantasy option in Week 15.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Gets into end zone in loss
Rotowire
Tracy carried the ball 16 times for 45 yards and a touchdown and caught five of 10 targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 14-11 loss to the Saints.
The rookie running back punched in a one-yard score late in the fourth quarter, giving Tracy his fifth rushing TD in the last eight games. Over that stretch, he's amassed 680 scrimmage yards while solidifying his spot at the top of the Giants' backfield depth chart. Tracy faces a tough matchup on the ground in Week 15 against the Ravens.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy Jr.: RBs to Start
Rotowire
The concern for Tracy in Week 14 would be that he has only nine carries in each of his past two games against Tampa Bay and Dallas and 13 total touches or less in each outing. Fumbles have been an issue for him, and the Giants are still giving Devin Singletary a chance to share the backfield. That said, Tracy has still scored at least 14.5 PPR points in two of his past three games, and he has a favorable matchup this week against the Saints, who are No. 7 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. Since Week 5, eight running backs have scored at least 16.8 PPR points against New Orleans, and Tracy should be considered a solid No. 2 running back in all leagues in this matchup.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Compiles 65 total yards in loss
Rotowire
Tracy rushed nine times for 32 yards and a touchdown and secured two of three targets for 33 yards in the Giants' 27-20 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.
Tracy ceded the start to veteran backfield mate Devin Singletary, who logged carries on the Giants' first two plays from scrimmage. However, the rookie got in on the act with a seven-yard run on the fourth play and eventually capped off that opening drive with a one-yard touchdown run. The fifth-round pick did see his overall opportunities stagnate for the second straight game, however, with Tracy recording his second consecutive nine-carry total and outpacing Singletary by just two touches in that category. With the Giants simply playing out the string on a lost season, it remains to be seen if Tracy will have to operate in that heavy of a timeshare in a Week 14 home matchup against the Saints on Sunday, Dec. 8.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Solid with limited opportunities
Rotowire
Tracy rushed nine times for 42 yards and brought in all four targets for 28 yards in the Giants' 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Game script limited Tracy's opportunities on the ground significantly, but he was still able to average an impressive 4.7 yards per carry while also recording his second-highest catch and receiving yardage totals of the season. On a less promising note, the rookie running back lost a fumble for the second straight game -- and this one came with New York just five yards away from the Buccaneers' end zone. Tracy's carry total was his second lowest since taking on a larger role in the ground attack at the expense of Devin Singletary, but he should have a much better chance at a normal workload in a Week 13 road matchup against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy Jr.: RBs to Start
Rotowire
The last time we saw Tracy in Week 10 against Carolina, he had a solid performance ruined by a late fumble. But he scored 15.4 PPR points against the Panthers, and he scored at least 14 PPR points in four of five games this season where he had double digits in carries. He should get plenty of work in Week 12 against Tampa Bay, and hopefully, new Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito involves Tracy more in the passing game. The Buccaneers are No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and seven running backs in the past five games have scored at least 13.8 PPR points.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Loses crucial fumble
Rotowire
Tracy rushed the ball 18 times for 103 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Panthers. He added one reception on two targets for one yard.
Tracy maintained his lead in the Giants' backfield and recorded his third 100-yard rushing game of the season. The performance was highlighted by an impressive 32-yard touchdown scamper, during which Tracy cut back and streaked through a hole in the middle of the field to reach the end zone for the third time in the campaign. Unfortunately for him, his production was overshadowed by a lost fumble early in overtime that set up the game-winning field goal for Carolina. Despite the temporary setback, Tracy should remain the team's lead back in Week 12 -- following a bye -- against the Bucs.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy Jr.: RBs to Start
Rotowire
I love the setup for Tracy this week, and I nearly made him the Start of the Week for Week 10. He's taken over as the starting running back for the Giants, and he has at least 16 carries in four of his past five games. In three of those outings, Tracy has scored at least 14 PPR points, and he should have the chance for a strong performance against the Panthers in Germany. Carolina is No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and 13 running backs have scored at least 12.1 PPR points against the Panthers this season, including six with at least 20 PPR points. I like Tracy as a borderline No. 1 running back in all leagues for Week 10.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Progressing through protocol
Rotowire
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Tracy (concussion) will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Tracy will don a red no-contact jersey during the session, but the running back appears to have advanced to the fourth phase of the five-step concussion protocol after not practicing in any fashion Wednesday, two days after he suffered a concussion late in Monday's loss to the Steelers. In order to make himself available for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Tracy will still need to be cleared for contact in addition to receiving clearance from an independent neurologist, but Daboll suggests that the rookie out of Purdue is "trending in the right direction" to play this weekend. After amassing 419 yards from scrimmage and scoring two touchdowns over the past four games, Tracy appears to have established himself as the Giants' lead back over Devin Singletary, who opened the season as the team's starter.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Deemed non-participant in practice
Rotowire
Tracy (concussion) is listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Tracy was spotted working off to the side with the training staff during the media-access portion of practice, which at least hints at some progress through concussion protocol just two days after suffering the injury. He nonetheless faces an uphill battle to be ready for Sunday's game against Washington, just six days after being concussed late in the fourth quarter of Monday's loss to Pittsburgh. Prior to the injury, Tracy took 21 touches for 150 yards and a touchdown, while Devin Singletary finished the night with four touches for 23 yards.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Works on side field Wednesday
Rotowire
Tracy (concussion) is not practicing Wednesday but was spotted working with trainers off to the side, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Tracy is in the "early stages" of the NFL's concussion protocol, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. The rookie fifth-round pick could have a chance to gain clearance in time for Sunday's game against Washington, but in order to put himself on track for a tentative Week 9 return, Tracy will likely need to at least take part in non-contact practice activity Thursday. Devin Singletary will presumably serve as the Giants' lead back if Tracy is unable to clear the protocol before Sunday.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Concussion confirmed
Rotowire
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Tuesday that Tracy has entered the concussion protocol following Monday's 26-18 loss to the Steelers, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Tracy exited the contest with just over four minutes left in the fourth quarter after he appeared to slam his head on the turf. The rookie didn't return for the Giants' final possession, and Daboll has confirmed that Tracy sustained a concussion on the play. After the Monday night game, the Giants will be facing a quick turnaround ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Commanders, so Tracy could face an uphill battle to clear the five-step concussion protocol. He appeared to have solidified himself as the Giants' lead back after gaining 145 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries to go with two catches for five yards in the loss to Pittsburgh. If Tracy is unable to play against Washington however, Devin Singletary would presumably step back in as the team's starter.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Exits to locker room
Rotowire
Tracy exited Monday's matchup with the Steelers late in the fourth quarter after suffering an apparent head injury, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Tracy likely went to the medical tent to be checked for a concussion after hitting his helmet on the field. He subsequently left for the locker room. The injury comes on a big night in which he assumed RB1 duties for the Giants ahead of Devin Singletary. Tracy accumulated 145 rushing yards and one touchdown on 20 carries before exiting. He also injured his shoulder at the end of the first half but ultimately returned to start the third quarter.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Returns Monday
Rotowire
Tracy (shoulder) returned to start the second half in Monday's matchup with the Steelers, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Tracy was shaken up towards the end of the first half and subsequently drew a questionable designation at halftime. However, he has gotten the green light to start the third quarter. The running back had seemingly take RB1 duties from Devin Singletary in the first half, recording nine carries to Singletary's one.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Tracy is considered questionable to return to Monday's matchup with the Steelers due to a shoulder injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Tracy had nine carries for 35 yards compared to Devin Singletary's one rush for seven yards prior to exiting. However, Tracy was shaken up late in the first half. Singletary would presumably take on RB1 responsibilities should Tracy be unable to return.

Giants' Tyrone Tracy Jr.: RBs to Sit
Rotowire
Tracy dominated snaps for the Giants in Week 7 against Philadelphia compared to Devin Singletary, 39-12. We'll see if that continues in Week 8 against the Steelers, but I would sit both Giants in Week 8 in the majority of leagues. Against the Eagles, Tracy had six carries for 23 yards and three catches for 9 yards on three targets, and it will be tough to trust him against the Steelers. Pittsburgh is No. 9 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and this Giants offensive line is a mess without left tackle Andrew Thomas (foot).
