2025 Fantasy Football Outlook

Role & Opportunity

• Lead back role: Entering 2025 as primary ball-carrier; lead RB by season’s start

• Backfield depth: Competition includes Devin Singletary (vet), plus rookie RB Cam Skattebo

• Committee possibility: Likely thunder-and-lightning split; Tracy holds clear edge in dynamic/inside work

Major Risks

• Ball security: 2 fumbles in 17 games — clean handling important, especially near goal line

• Backfield rotation: Efficient splits and complementary RB roles could cap ceiling

• Offensive context: Giants’ QB competition and overall offense efficiency impact TD and yardage upside

Headliner Take

Tyrone Tracy Jr. enters the 2025 fantasy football season as the likely lead running back for the Giants after a productive rookie campaign in 2024, where he totaled 1,123 yards from scrimmage (839 rushing, 284 receiving) with 6 touchdowns across 17 games. He showcased strong explosiveness, averaging 4.4 yards per carry and generating multiple breakaway runs, while contributing as a receiver with 38 catches. With minimal changes to the Giants’ backfield depth chart, Tracy is positioned for a significant workload, but ball security (2 lost fumbles in 2024) and the overall efficiency of the Giants’ offense will be key factors in determining his fantasy value. There is something however that not a lot of people are talking about. The Giants QB play is going to MUCH improved compared to 2024. Not only is that going to take defenders out of the box but it's also going to provide so many more scoring opportunities. Tracy is a later round sleeper RB that I would grab if you didn't load up with RBs early.
