BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4
ANALYSIS: The New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. is the latest in a long line of precautionary tales. Two good games do not mean a player is a stud or an elite fantasy asset. He had the fortunate chance to face the Seattle Seahawks and Cincinnati Bengals in Weeks 6-7.
#Giants HC Brian Daboll on increased playing time for Tyrone Tracy Jr.:
“He’s earned it. He’s done a good job, so he’ll get plenty of playing time.”

That doesn't mean he can't be at least a solid FLEX player moving forward. He's earned extra playing time, and New York's backfield should shift toward more of a committee in his favor. He scored just 6.2 PPR fantasy points in Week 7, but the entire Giants offense was hideous -- QB Daniel Jones was sacked nine times.

The team does not look good without elite left tackle Andrew Thomas (foot), and he's out indefinitely with an injury. This negatively impacts the entire squad, and will have a detrimental effect on both running backs' ability to produce in fantasy.
Tracy appears to have established himself as a reliable pass-catcher, so that's where much of his value will come from in a brutal Week 8 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The state of the offensive line is something that will hold him back, though.
He can be safely started in deeper PPR leagues.
