Tracy has now missed both practices to start the week and is at risk of missing Week 17's game against the Colts if he can't get on the field in some capacity on Friday. Backup Devin Singletary would be in line for a solid workday if Tracy can't go, while Eric Gray could see some light work of his own. Fantasy managers in need of running back help would be wise to stash Singletary, who could be on the waiver wire in several leagues.
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He aggravated an ankle injury in the Week 16 loss to the Falcons and seems iffy for Sunday's game vs. the Colts. We'll update Tracy's status again tomorrow. His absence would leave Devin Singletary as New York's lead back -- and a low-level fantasy option.
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy managed a solid fantasy score in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. But he did it almost entirely as a receiver. Tracy caught all four of his targets for 43 yards and the team's lone TD. He managed only 7 carries for 26 yards despite dominating backfield playing time. Tracy played 36 snaps to Devin Singletary's 13 and Eric Gray's 9. He ran pass routes on half of those snaps.
Tracy is listed as questionable for Week 16. He was limited in practice throughout the week after tweaking his ankle in Week 15 against the Ravens. The rookie shared the backfield with veteran Devin Singletary in that game, seeing a measly 10 rush attempts plus a lone reception. Now stuck in a committee on an awful offense, Tracy is stuck in the RB3 for his date with Atlanta.
This is unfortunate. Tracy was unable to graduate to Full Participant status and Devin Singletary significantly ate into Tracy's workload last week. Tracy can only be started as a volatile RB3. Hopefully, clarifying news will come over the weekend regarding both his ankle and role.
