Aaron Jones vs Tyrone Tracy: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Aaron Jones finished the 2025 season at 8.7 PPG over 12 games with the Minnesota Vikings, while Tyrone Tracy clocked in at 9.5 across 15 appearances for the New York Giants. A 0.8-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Aaron Jones ran for 548 yards and 2 touchdowns; Tyrone Tracy posted 740 and 2. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
One scheduling note: Aaron Jones is off Week 6 and Tyrone Tracy Week 11. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
