News: 3 days agoTracy rushed the ball 18 times for 103 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Panthers. He added one reception on two targets for one yard.

Spin: Tracy maintained his lead in the Giants' backfield and recorded his third 100-yard rushing game of the season. The performance was highlighted by an impressive 32-yard touchdown scamper, during which Tracy cut back and streaked through a hole in the middle of the field to reach the end zone for the third time in the campaign. Unfortunately for him, his production was overshadowed by a lost fumble early in overtime that set up the game-winning field goal for Carolina. Despite the temporary setback, Tracy should remain the team's lead back in Week 12 -- following a bye -- against the Bucs.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: The Giants chose Tracy in the fifth round of April's draft. He shined in his one season as a running back at Purdue after several seasons as a wide receiver in Iowa's troubling offense. Of course, the Giants signed former competent Texans/Bills veteran Devin Singletary in March, and he figures to handle the bulk of the work, but Singletary has never caught more than 40 passes or tallied 300 receiving yards in a season. Tracy may become the third-down back, but this still isn't a strong offense, so don't expect more than RB5 production.
