RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. is garnering playing time with the first-team Giants’ offense in mini-camp
The Giants’ 2024 fifth round pick, Tyrone Tracy Jr., has earned playing time with the first team New York offense in training camp. The report also indicates that Tracy Jr. is already making a case to be the Giants’ preferred back on passing downs. He demonstrated his pass-catching prowess in college accumulating 47 receptions over his final two seasons at Iowa.
Mini-camp is an opportunity to see younger players the coaching staff hasn’t seen before, so fantasy managers shouldn’t look too much into this. Devin Singletary and Eric Gray still present formidable competition, and it is Singletary who will certainly get the first crack at the starting role. However, this is one of the least talented running back rooms in the NFL and Tracy will likely get an opportunity to prove himself.

Garry Brightwell has been waived by the New York Giants
The New York Giants have decided to part ways with second year running back Gary Brightwell. A sixth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Brightwell played sparingly across three NFL seasons. This leaves Devin Singletary, Eric Gray, Joshuan Corbin, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Dante Miller as the remaining running backs.
Singletary is the favorite to get the bulk of the carries, however Eric Gray has received a lot of first team reps recently at OTAs. This may pour some cold water on the hype Tyrone Tracy has received post NFL Draft. Tracy managers shouldn’t fret though. This is still one of the least talented running back depth charts in the NFL, and Tracy will likely get an opportunity to get on the field sooner rather than later.
Eric Gray suffered a calf injury and will miss at least the next four games
Eric Gray suffered a calf injury against the Washington Commanders in week 7 and is headed to injured reserve. The rookie out of Oklahoma has been a depth piece for the Giants so far in 2023, playing sparingly. However, he had a talented college profile and could have taken more work from Matt Breida if given more opportunities The injury doesn’t appear to be season-ending though, and Gray will look to return later this season. Joshua Corbin has been promoted to the active roster in the meantime.
