Tyrone Tracy fantasy football preview 2025: Stats, season outlook, predictions
Tyrone Tracy 2025 Fantasy Preview
2024: A hyped fifth-round rookie, Tracy bided his time behind Devin Singletary before earning a Week 5 start in Singletary's injury absence. He turned in an 18/129 rushing effort and posted two more 100-yard days over the next five weeks even with Singletary back in the lineup. Then the fumbling began. Tracy put the ball on the ground four times over his final eight appearances, losing the coaching staff's trust while at the same time growing less effective on the ground. Tracy averaged under four yards per carry during his dispiriting stretch run.
What's changed: The Giants revamped their quarterback room and used a fourth-round pick on RB Cam Skattebo, who appears destined to begin the year as at least the team's third-down back. The question is how quickly he makes inroads on early downs. To make matters even more complicated for Tracy, Singletary also remains on the roster.
Outlook: We suppose Tracy remains the 'starter' for now, but Skattebo is breathing down his neck. Investing in the rookie is the higher-upside long-term play even if Tracy projects for a sturdier early-season floor.

New York Giants' Brian Burns committed to becoming an elite player
"I'm trying to take my game to a level it's never been. That requires me doing things I never did."Brian Burns has been putting in extra work with Dexter Lawrence to learn new skills Last offseason, New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen made a big splash in the heat of free agency when he acquired linebacker Brian Burns from the Carolina Panthers to improve the front seven. In his first season in blue, Burns recorded 8.5 sacks, and there were times when he looked like the star the Giants set out to get when they traded for the two-time Pro Bowler. As he heads into his second year with the Giants, Burns has his sights set on becoming an elite player and bringing his game to another level. "I'm just trying to take my game to a level it's never been. That requires me doing things I never did," he told reporters on Wednesday. "I've been working with (Dexter Lawrence) Dex quite a bit, talking to Dex a lot (about) just how to manipulate body positions and try to use my length and power more and not just my speed and finesse. That's been good to me so far so I'm going to keep working on that." Burns' comments came after the second joint session with the New York Jets, where he had two of his better practices in all of training camp. Learning from Lawrence may be beneficial given his dominance and stardom at his position. Sexy Dexy has been one of the league's best for the last several years. With Lawrence, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and rookie Abdul Carter joining Burns on the front seven, there are high expectations around the group of pass rushers. Burns may be primed for his best season just based on the talent around him on the defensive line. Burns is already a really good player. However, if he elevates his game, even slightly, the Giants' defense could certainly be one of the league's best in 2025.

Ex-NFL QB: Jaxson Dart should start for New York Giants
Following his impressive NFL debut against the Buffalo Bills last weekend, New York Giants rookie Jaxson Dart received a ton of praise, including being named a top rookie QB performer in the NFL's opening weekend of the preseason. Now, after just one outing, some believe that the Dart should be the Giants' starting quarterback as early as Week 1 of the regular season. Ex-NFL quarterback Chase Daniel is the latest on the Dart starting quarterback train. In the video posted by Daniel, he walks through the progression on Dart's first touchdown and highlights his decision-making. "Watch Jaxson Dart right here, watch his left hand -- check to this. Look at that, we didn't see that. That's what I'm talking about, he checked to it. He checked to this go route, a perfectly thrown football. That's what I'm talking about," Daniel said. "Big time, calling your own shot, getting smoked, throwing a freaking touchdown like this. Not a great rep by 63 [Jake Kubas] -- hey, sometimes, you know what? You're gonna get hit, get that ball out, you can't throw it any better than this. Okay, on the ground. Let's go -- he checked to it!" Head coach Brian Daboll has been adamant that Russell Wilson will be the Giants' starter when the season begins. However, the more Dart impresses in the preseason, the more noise the Giants will hear to go with the rookie from the jump. With the Giants' less-than-favorable schedule to start the season, it may only be a matter of time before we see Dart as the starter. One this is for sure, Darts' first game action performance has fans excited for what the future may hold with their rookie QB.
