Moves to make, heading into week 10, hit us with it.
Yeah, the first one is the biggest one and it’s to buy low on Tyrann Tracy, the giants’ rookie running back.
This was a player that really wasn’t even expected to play in week nine for the most part.
He was in the concussion protocol.
The far majority of players in the concussion protocol usually miss at least a week and he ended up suiting up for week nine and not only did he suit up, he had 50 total yards in the first quarter alone.
It was looking like another monster game for Tyrone Tracy who played 69% of the snaps in this game, which was the most he’s played in a game with Devin Singleterry this year.
It led to 17 total touches compared to just seven for single Terry still operating as the clear back despite basically not practicing all week because of the concussion and it only resulted in 69 scoreless yards, believe it or not, he only had 19 total yards in the final three quarters of this game.
It was kind of wonky overall, but I think that’s opened up sort of this bilo window on him and this is the time, like if there was ever a time I know that Andrew Thomas isn’t there.
And the offense looks in Shambles and Daniel Jones doesn’t look great.
But if there was ever a time to buy low on an explosive running back who like on his own yards after contact wise can produce.
And he was doing that in the first quarter of the past week.
It’s right now before they face the Carolina Panthers, before they face the team that allows the most rushing yards per game gave up 215 total yards to Alvin Kamara last week, Alvin Kamara had 215 total yards last week and he was the RB three on the week, like last week was just an embarrassment of riches for all, all running backs.
It was absolutely insane and I think Tyronn Tracy’s gonna have a big bounce back performance this upcoming week right now is the time to buy low.
The person who has him probably knows he’s a good player.
So you’re not gonna get him extremely cheap, but I do think he’s a guy that you can put in some sort of package deal.
A two for one for a better player in some regards, maybe you’re on a team that’s struggling.
You need a win.
You have DK Metcalf on the buy, you have Drake Lund, the potentially missing package of Tyron Tracy with another talented receiver and you can get a deal done.
I like it.
Yeah, I mean, it’s not always about buy low, it’s about timing the buy.
Right.
And I do think this is the moment for Tyron Tracy.
