Davis Mattek expresses a lack of interest in Tyrone Tracy Jr. for fantasy purposes, noting that even if the Raiders trade for him, he does not care about his fantasy viability.

Tracy faces roster uncertainty despite back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons from scrimmage under Brian Daboll. The source notes he has made huge mistakes in two straight games under new head coach John Harbaugh, and questions whether Harbaugh will trust him to keep Jaxson Dart healthy or hold onto the ball. With Najee Harris, Cam Skattebo, Patrick Ricard, and Devin Singletary ahead of him, Tracy may not have room on the 53-man roster, and the source suggests the Giants could swing a trade deal for him similar to the Daniel Faalele trade.

Tracy has now committed two major gaffes in two preseason games: in Week 1 he missed a blitz pickup resulting in a huge hit on quarterback Jaxson Dart, and on Saturday he fumbled away a scoring opportunity after runs of 11 and 12 yards. The source notes Tracy probably fumbled away playing time with Najee Harris on the roster and Singletary looking spry, and his roster spot may be in jeopardy. Despite Tracy's potential in both run and pass games, the new coaching staff will evaluate based on what they see, and these miscues are costly.

Davis Mattek views Tyrone Tracy as a "giga terrible pick" and a "zero" in fantasy value, despite acknowledging he has a projected role and kick return duties. Mattek admits to having 4.6% exposure but believes Tracy needs to be cut or traded to have relevance, noting he only fell into the starting role last year due to injury and recently had an "awful fumble."

The running back has had two major gaffes in two preseason games: in Week 1 against Minnesota, he missed a blitz pickup resulting in a huge hit on quarterback Jaxson Dart; on Saturday, after runs of 11 and 12 yards, he fumbled away a scoring opportunity; the source questions whether he fumbled away his roster spot, noting that while he can be a plus in both run and pass games, the new coaching staff will judge him by what they see, and he faces competition from Najee Harris and Singletary.

Third-year running back struggling in preseason competition for roster spots under new coach John Harbaugh; fumbled without contact on the Dolphins 10-yard line in the second series, a critical turnover that left him visibly upset on the sideline. With Devin Singletary impressing in training camp and veteran Najee Harris signed to the roster, Tracy is now on the outside looking in despite rushing for 839 and 740 yards in his past two seasons and surpassing 1,000 yards from scrimmage both years. Harbaugh has not publicly endorsed Tracy's standing, declining to comment on how the fumble affects his roster chances.

Tracy played against Miami and coughed up the ball untouched when trying to switch it to his other hand before hitting the line; this unforced error is magnified by his developed reputation for fumbling when hit, raising questions about his role in the depth chart behind Skattebo.

Tracy played against Miami and coughed up the ball untouched when he tried to switch it to his other hand before hitting the line; this unforced error is magnified given that Tracy has developed a reputation for fumbling when hit, raising questions about his role behind Skattebo.

Tracy has had a horrific two weeks. Against the Vikings, his missed block led to Dart getting hit; against the Dolphins, despite rushing for 26 yards on six carries, he fumbled in the red zone. The Giants' signing of Najee Harris signals dissatisfaction with the backfield, and with Devin Singletary as a trustworthy option, Tracy's roster security is now in question. Notably, Dan Duggan of The Athletic observed Tracy getting reps on the kickoff team—typically not a positive sign for a running back's standing.

Tracy produced 48 yards on nine touches (three completions) but lost a fumble. The source expresses concern about his consistency, noting he was at fault on the big hit Jaxson Dart took last week and 'may not be impressing this coaching staff with his lack of consistency,' suggesting his role could be in jeopardy.

Tracy carried 6 times for 26 yards but committed a costly fumble without being hit in the preseason game, marking his second significant mistake in two weeks and raising concerns about ball security and decision-making in competition.

Fumbled without being hit after two nice runs in the preseason Week 2 game. The source characterizes this as Tracy's second big mistake in two weeks, noting that his tough stretch continues into the second preseason game.

The signing of Najee Harris is viewed as a significant negative for Tyrone Tracy. The source has moved Tracy down in rankings, noting that even if he were to become the lead back, concerns persist regarding his role in goal-line and receiving situations, especially given his previous struggles with pass blocking.

Ron Stewart is not worried about Tyrone Tracy's current ADP; he would only express concern if Tracy's ADP rose significantly into the RB29 or RB30 range, which he considers unlikely.

Harris signing effectively ends Tracy's fantasy relevance in Giants backfield. Pre-Harris: Tracy had 4.3 YPC, 7.7 YPR, 5.7 per target, 4.9 per touch—superior efficiency to Najee's career marks. However, Tracy whiffed on critical pass-block assignment in preseason (led to Dart sack), raising concerns about blocking ability. Harris, known as reliable pass-blocker, now preferred for that role. Community view: Tracy's value 'basically zero' now; he may be cut or relegated to occasional change-of-pace snaps. Some suggest new regime could trade or release him.

Tracy is ranked RB45 with an ADP of 124, showing a 9-spot fall from his previous ranking, indicating negative market re-evaluation.

Tyrone Tracy is viewed strictly as a handcuff option who would likely operate in a committee if Cam Scataboo misses time. He is considered a late-round draft pick, with the source preferring other handcuff options like Ray Davis, Braelon Allen, Brian Robinson, and Tajae Spears.
