Saquon Barkley vs Tyrone Tracy: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Saquon Barkley and Tyrone Tracy is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Philadelphia Eagles running back put up 13.4 PPG in 2025 over 16 games; Tyrone Tracy of the New York Giants averaged 9.5 in 15. A 3.9-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 3.9 points favors Saquon Barkley, 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. Saquon Barkley ran for 1140 yards and 7 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: Saquon Barkley is off Week 5 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.
