The New York Giants have had plenty of issues for their offense so far, but one player has stood out as an under-the-radar rookie this season. Rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has been impressive. He's quickly emerged as a fan favorite in his first season in the NFL.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. RB1

Brian Daboll had some high praise for Tracy on Friday. He took his positivity in the rookie to a new level entering Week 10.

“He’s continued to make the most of his opportunity… he’ll be a primary guy for us.” — Daboll

Daboll gave Tracy credit in the middle of October when he started to come on for New York due to injuries at running back. 

The HC said that he would get more playing time, and that has been proven true over the past few weeks of play. He's emerged as a key offensive piece. 

“He’s earned it. He’s done a good job, so he’ll get plenty of playing time.”

Tracy has also been a fantasy football revelation. Over the past month, he's been a top ten running back for fantasy owners. Even with some losses mounting for the Giants, his dynamic abilities have shined. 

Hopefully, the Giants roll with Tracy for the rest of the season as their starter. 

Devin Singletary had a good start to the year, but he has been banged up. He's a good secondary piece alongside the rookie RB, and both can be productive for New York going forward if they can find more footing in the passing game.
