He caught a pass from Russell Wilson and jolted toward the sideline, where he met two Chiefs defenders. Tracy lowered his shoulder into Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson but came off worse for wear and left the game holding his shoulder.

Tracy is expected to miss the next two to four weeks, hurting his fantasy value.

Should I drop Tyrone Tracy Jr. for Week 4 Fantasy Football?

Be careful. If you drop Tyrone Tracy Jr. now in fantasy, he may get snatched up quickly on the waiver wire. As we approach Week 4 of the NFL season, more injuries are expected. While Tracy isn't viewed as a top 10 back in terms of fantasy, when he returns, there will be fewer running backs available to pick up.

It may be worth placing him on the bench for a few weeks. There's also the chance that Cam Skattebo takes over as RB1 with his opportunity to lead the backfield in Tracy's absence.

Despite being out for the next two to four games, Tyrone Tracy Jr. still has a solid fantasy outlook for the entire season. Fantasy Pros projects him to finish as the 39th-44th best running back.

Tracy wasn't drafted to finish top five or top 10 in fantasy points, but he did accumulate over 1,000 yards from scrimmage last season as a fifth-round rookie. He should be a good RB2 or flex option when he returns. That's if Cam Skattebo doesn't steal the show and take over as the team's full-time starting running back.
