As the NFL season approaches, the rookie rankings are taking shape, notably highlighted by Cam Scadabo of the New York Giants. With the Giants currently listed at 22-1 to win the NFC East, Scadabo's addition is seen as a potential threat to Tyrone Tracy's role, especially given Scadabo's versatility as both a runner and a receiver. Tracy, previously a workhorse, may find himself sharing carries in a committee that reduces his touchdown potential.

Similarly, the Dallas Cowboys' backfield remains uncertain, with veterans in place yet underwhelming. Jaden Blue, known for his explosive speed, could emerge as a sleeper if he improves his pass protection and seizes opportunities. Meanwhile, the rookie quarterback landscape solidifies, with names like Tyler Shough getting attention as the season nears.

In the latest Locked On Fantasy Football episode, key insights regarding the upcoming NFL draft and its impact on dynasty fantasy football strategies are shared. An emphasis is placed on trading for players like Justin Herbert and Ricky Piol before their values surge post-draft. Herbert saw a resurgence in performance towards the end of the previous season, and the expectation of the Chargers adding offensive weaponry only enhances his value. Meanwhile, Piol is viewed as undervalued given his recovery from injury and potential upcoming opportunities.

On the flip side, the hosts advise trading away players such as Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Jaylen Warren, whose values might plummet following the draft as teams potentially seek new running back talent. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for making informed decisions leading up to the draft.

This week's podcast shifts focus to the sophomore running backs class, which is not as promising as the wide receiver group. The conversation highlights the limited breakout performances from players like Bucky Irving and Tyrone Tracy as rookies, mainly due to competition and injuries among more established running backs. While some sophomores show potential for 2025, skepticism remains regarding their long-term fantasy value. The panel weighs in on their draft positioning, with mixed opinions on whether Irving's middle-round ADP is justified. Tracy's performance raises questions about consistency and upside in a still-developing Giants offense, especially with the potential for further additions in the draft.
