Alvin Kamara vs Tyrone Tracy: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Alvin Kamara and Tyrone Tracy is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The New Orleans Saints running back put up 7.7 PPG in 2025 over 11 games; Tyrone Tracy of the New York Giants averaged 9.5 in 15. A 1.8-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 1.8 points favors Tyrone Tracy, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one running back to the other.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Alvin Kamara ran for 471 yards and 1 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: Alvin Kamara is off Week 12 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.
