BALLER MOVE: Start in 16+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. saw an uptick in touches last Sunday, putting him on the fantasy radar heading into a Week 4 clash with the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football.
Tracy finished last week's clash against the Cleveland Browns with five rushes for 23 yards on the ground, plus two catches for an additional 17 yards through the air. All four of those marks represented season highs for Tracy, and since he's a rookie, they were career highs, too.
I change my mind. The @Giants will introduce the world to Tyrone Tracy Jr tonight! Every one is keying on Nabers which they should but it's going to be another rookie showing out tonight!#TNF

Tracy is still operating behind Devin Singletary in the Giants' office, but the rookie has certainly earned more opportunities. He played nearly one-third of the offensive snaps last week and figures to achieve a similar percentage in Week 4. One factor contributing to his increased role is Singletary's lack of ball security; the veteran has lost two fumbles over his last two games.
The cherry on top for Tracy? Dallas has allowed the most fantasy points, the fourth-most rushing yards, and the fourth-most receiving yards to opposing running backs so far this season. Even with a projected negative game script, there should be a real opportunity for Tracy to get involved on Thursday night.
For now, Tracy is only startable in deeper leagues, particularly those with at least 16 teams. However, if he can prove himself on Thursday Night Football, he'll warrant consideration in leagues with 14 or perhaps even 12 teams next week.
Make no mistake: Tyrone Tracy Jr. is on the rise.
