Tyrone Tracy Jr. - 2025 Fantasy Football Busts and Overvalued Draft Picks

Tyrone Tracy Jr. is a potential fantasy football bust and overvalued draft pick to avoid in 2025. Read the fantasy football outlook and draft advice for the New York Giants running back.

RotoBaller Ranking (half-PPR): RB32

Fantasy Draft Analysis: The biggest knock on New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. in his rookie season was his fumbling issues. Tracy fumbled five times across his 230 touches. Aside from that, though, the Purdue product showed a ton of great things on the field. He rushed for 839 yards and five touchdowns while also catching 38 passes for 284 yards and one score. 

The Giants -1.02 EPA/rush inside the 5 by RBs was the #3 worst mark of any team since 2000

both Devin Singletary & Tyrone Tracy were terrible

Tracy: 5 att, 2 yards, -0.20 EPA/rush, 1 fumble lost
Singletary: 5 att, 10 yards, -0.22 EPA/rush

enter Cam Skattebo

Those solid numbers helped Tracy emerge as a reliable RB2 option for fantasy managers in 2024. He averaged 13.2 PPR fantasy points per game from Week 5 onward and finished as a top-24 fantasy running back in seven of 13 games during that span. The 25-year-old really made the most of his opportunities as a rookie. 

However, he will have some competition this year after the team selected versatile playmaker Cam Skattebo in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Skattebo just totaled 2,316 yards from scrimmage in his final college season at Arizona State and is capable of taking snaps away from Tracy throughout the season.

On top of that, Tracy wasn't the best runner on the ground in 2024. He ranked 23rd in evaded tackles (47), 31st in explosive play rating, and 33rd in true yards per carry (4.1) among all running backs last season. With the fumbling issues a real problem, we could see things quickly change out of this backfield. That's why the second-year playmaker is a fade in most formats/
