Entering the season, Devin Singletary was the unquestioned top back for the New York Giants, but after missing Week 5 with a groin injury, things might be changing in the Meadowlands.
With Singletary out, the Giants turned the role over to Tyrone Tracy Jr., who had 18 carries in the game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Is Devin Singletary Playing In Week 6?
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary was held out of Week 4 with a groin injury and has been limited at practice this week, putting some doubt into his ability to suit up against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Devin Singletary still dealing with a groin problem. Coach Brian Daboll said “we’ll see” about his starting running back.

While his Week 6 status is officially up in the air, those covering the Giants don't sound optimistic about his ability to suit up this weekend after watching him in his limited practices.
Fantasy managers should prepare to not have Singletary in their lineups this week. Even if he plays, it's likely that he won't see a full workload.
Should I Start Tyrone Tracy Jr. for Fantasy Football Week 6?
Last week, Tyrone Tracy Jr. made his first start for the Giants, carrying the ball 18 times for 129 yards while also catching a one-yard pass.
Another week, another Tyrone Tracy breakout game incoming. It’s time to put the league on notice.
As the self proclaimed president of the Tyrone Tracy hype club, it’s my duty to inform you that RB1 is back for more. 😤#Giants #NFL

It was an impressive showing for Tracy, who entered the week with 12 carries over the first four games of the season. Assuming that the Giants are without Singletary again this week, Tracy is a low-end RB2 option based on how he performed last week.
Eric Gray getting red zone work could limit Tracy's upside, but Gray fumbled at the goal line in Week 5, so the team might not trust him in those high-value situations this time around.
