Devin Neal vs Tyrone Tracy Jr.Who should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

DraftCall Analytics

Start Tyrone Tracy Jr. over Devin Neal in 2026.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. averaged 9.5 PPG in 2025 to Devin Neal's 5.7, a 3.8 point per game edge. Tracy also stayed healthier, playing 15 games to 9, which steadies his weekly floor. Both land in Tier 6 at the position, so this is closer than the raw gap suggests.

The Bottom Line

Tyrone Tracy Jr. has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 3.8-PPG advantage is real (9.5 to 5.7), and Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s 4 touchdowns show scoring upside. Devin Neal is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Moderate confidence: stats favor the leader, but matchup variance could flip this weekly.

Fantasy Tiers

Devin Neal: Tier 6 (Deep League) RB (ranked #57 at the position). Tyrone Tracy Jr.: Tier 6 (Bench/Bye Fill) RB (ranked #31 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Devin Neal is producing at 26% of elite pace and Tyrone Tracy Jr. at 43%. That ranking gap means Tyrone Tracy Jr. carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Devin Neal vs Tyrone Tracy Jr.: The Full Breakdown

Devin Neal and Tyrone Tracy Jr. are both viable fantasy running backs heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Devin Neal averaged 5.7 PPG across 9 games with the New Orleans Saints, while Tyrone Tracy Jr. posted 9.5 PPG in 15 appearances for the New York Giants.

A 3.8-PPG gap gives Tyrone Tracy Jr. the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Devin Neal ran for 206 yards and 2 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 thing to note: both players share a Week 8 bye. That means you need a backup plan at running back for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Tyrone Tracy Jr. at a discount because your league-mates undervalue running back production, do it. Devin Neal is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Devin Neal (age 23) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Tyrone Tracy Jr. (age 26) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open.
