Every year in fantasy football, running backs are subject to rapid declines and unexpected shifts, reminding enthusiasts of the volatility of the position. The New York Giants experienced this firsthand as they transitioned from Saquon Barkley to Devin Singletary, who had a brief stint at the helm before being replaced mid-season by rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. This change highlighted the Giants' shift towards younger, more dynamic options in their backfield.

Tracing the narrative of the Giants' backfield suggests a focus on agility and cost-effectiveness. Singletary, despite having a standout previous season, proved insufficient as the lead back. In contrast, Tracy Jr.—a fifth-round pick—has demonstrated the ability to be both explosive and cost-efficient, reshaping the team's future at the position.
