2026 Outlook
Tracy was slated to be the Giants' RB2 after Cam Skattebo's injury recovery, positioned to absorb third-down and pass-catching work. However, the August signing of veteran Najee Harris significantly complicates his path to offensive usage. Harris, signed as a "significant contributor" according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, has proven pass-catching and pass-protection ability—exactly the skillset Tracy was supposed to provide. Tracy drew head coach John Harbaugh's ire during preseason Week 1 for a missed block in pass protection, which further damaged his standing in a blocking-first system. Harris's arrival likely makes Tracy the RB4 at best, potentially irrelevant if Harris proves to be an early-down complement to Skattebo (per Najee Harris rumor sets Giants' backfield up to be fantasy football nightmare).
Tracy showed positive preseason form against the Jets (Aug 29): 4 carries, 37 yards, 1 TD in Giants' 23-6 win (per Giants news: 'Sounds like' Odell Beckham Jr. has made NY's roster, per broadcaster)—but this doesn't necessarily improve his depth-chart position given Harris competition.
