STM Take
A dual-threat back whose body is the whole question.
The case for
- Rookie 839 rushing yards plus 38 receptions for 284 yards is a real dual-threat production line that earned him Pro Bowl alternate honors. The WR background is a meaningful edge in passing-down protection schemes.
- Age 27 entering 2026 means physical prime; the 2024 tape showed starter-grade vision and burst that justified the late-rookie lead-back promotion.
The worry
- No 2025 STTM ranking in the dataset reflects what was clearly an injury-shortened season. Career length is the bigger question now than ceiling.
- The Giants' offensive line and overall scheme remain bottom-tier, so even a healthy Tracy faces a hard ceiling on yards per carry.
What to watch: Whether his 2026 workload returns to the 230+ touches his rookie pace projected, or whether the Giants split with Cam Skattebo and incoming depth.
Full take and bio
The empty 2025 ranking and game log in our data tells the whole story: a season lost or compressed by injury after a promising 2024 rookie sample (839 rushing yards plus a 38-catch receiving line). The 2026 value depends entirely on whether the body holds up across a full 17-game workload, because the talent profile from 2024 was real.
Tracy came out of Purdue as the New York Giants' 5th-round pick (166th overall) in 2024 after converting from wide receiver to running back during his senior season at Iowa. He had a strong rookie 2024 (839 rushing yards plus 38 receptions for 284 yards), earning Pro Bowl alternate honors and clear lead-back reps down the stretch. At 5'10" and 209 pounds with above-average receiving skill, he profiles as a modern dual-threat back. His 2025 season was disrupted by injury, which is why neither the STTM ranking nor a normal game-log line appears in the current dataset.
