Jordan Mason vs Tyrone Tracy Jr.Who should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

DraftCall Analytics

Start Tyrone Tracy Jr. over Jordan Mason in 2026.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. averaged 9.5 PPG in 2025 to Jordan Mason's 7.6, a 1.9 point per game edge. Both play running backs, so that per-game gap is the cleanest tiebreaker for a 2026 start or sit. 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 1.9-PPG advantage is real (9.5 to 7.6), and Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s 4 touchdowns show scoring upside. Jordan Mason is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.
