Both rookies figure to be heavily involved in the Giants’ bare-bones offense in 2024, though Nabers appears to have the clearer path to both fantasy relevance and recovery than Tracy. Nabers suffered his ankle injury late last week and, after a brief scare, was ruled to have sustained a minor ankle sprain. Current reports indicate that Nabers isn’t far from full participation in practice and that he has a chance to play in the Giants’ second preseason game, a good sign that he’ll be available and fully healthy by the time the regular season rolls around.
As for Tyrone Tracy, the fifth-round running back has been running ahead of second-year RB Eric Gray throughout training camp and even into last week’s preseason action… however, his claim to the RB2 role could reasonably be challenged in the coming weeks with Tracy unable to practice and play while he’s reportedly ‘week-to-week’ with an ankle injury of his own. Any time missed by Tracy will be an opportunity for Gray to capitalize on his absence as he fights for the No. 2 role behind projected starter Devin Singletary. Domination of snaps by any running back in the low-octane Giants offense is unlikely given the sheer number of potential options, but Tracy’s grip on the RB2 spot could loosen if Gray can reproduce his standout effort from Week 1 in Week 2. Singletary remains the RB to target in New York’s backfield despite a likely limited scoring ceiling as part of the Giants offense.
