News: 1 day agoTracy will face more competition for snaps and touches after the Giants signed Najee Harris on Tuesday, as reported by Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

Spin: New York already seemed to be leaning towards a backfield committee with Cam Skattebo, Tracy and Devin Singletary all working with the offensive starters during the team's preseason opener last Saturday, but Harris potentially adds another running back to the mix once he proves he's fully recovered from an Achilles tear. Tracy seems to have a clear path to a passing-down role, but Harris has a three-down resume from his time in Pittsburgh, including a 74-catch season in 2021 as a rookie, so he'll be a threat to all three incumbents. Tracy has produced a 74-572-3 line on 101 targets over his first 32 regular-season NFL games.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Tracy is set to compete with Devin Singletary for opportunities in a Giants backfield led by second-year back Cam Skattebo. Tracy has produced 200-plus touches and 1,000-plus yards in each of his first two NFL seasons, but that doesn't tell the full story. Tracy got there as a fifth-round rookie in 2024 by impressing and taking New York's starting gig by Week 5. Last season, he quickly lost lead-back duties to Skattebo, but played a much larger role once Skattebo went down for the season with an injury (9.0 touches per game during Weeks 1-9, but 18.6 per game from Weeks 10-18). Tracy has no standalone fantasy value, but he's effective as a rusher and receiver. That makes the 26-year-old a solid backup who would be worth adding if Skattebo misses additional time.
