Giants Reacts Survey: Should Tyrone Tracy be RB1?

Should Tracy jump Devin Singletary on the depth chart?

Week 5 was full of surprises for the New York Giants, not the least of which was their win over the Seattle Seahawks as a 7-point underdog on the road.

A big part of that win was a breakout performance by rookie running back Tyrone Tracy. Tracy carried the ball 18 times with starter Devin Singletary out with a groin injury, and his 129 yards on the ground were the most in the NFL by 27.

Just how impressive was Tracy’s day? His 27-yard run at the start of the second quarter ranks 13th in NextGenStats list of “remarkable runs” from last week with a full 21 yards over expected.

All told, he averaged an incredible 7.2 yards per carry on the day. And while the Giants’ run blocking was good up front, Tracy made a lot happen on his own. Per NFL NextGenStats, Tracy averaged 2.6 yards per carry above expected and his average run (4.6 per carry). Tracy’s 61.19 percent of rushing yards above expected ranks second in the NFL for Week 5.

So with all that in mind, we come to our Reacts question of the week: Should Tyrone Tracy take over as the Giants’ starting running back, even when Singletary returns from injury?
