Dylan Sampson vs Tyrone Tracy Jr.: The Full Breakdown

If you are choosing between Dylan Sampson and Tyrone Tracy Jr. for your lineup, you are not alone. Dylan Sampson finished the 2025 season at 4.7 PPG for the Cleveland Browns (15 games), and Tyrone Tracy Jr. averaged 9.5 for the New York Giants (15 games).

That 4.8-point weekly advantage for Tyrone Tracy Jr. is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Dylan Sampson ran for 175 yards and undefined touchdowns; Tyrone Tracy Jr. 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: Dylan Sampson is off Week 10 and Tyrone Tracy Jr. Week 8. 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.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position.
