STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Lloyd's role collapses with Jacobs' return; out-touched 3:1 with minimal red-zone work.

Lloyd's role diminished significantly upon Josh Jacobs' return from suspension in Week 7. Jacobs out-touched Lloyd almost 3:1, with all but one red-zone carry going to Jacobs. Lloyd posted a 33.3% rushing success rate against Detroit, and the source notes he needed multiple weeks to exit a game with more than one first down as a receiver, whereas Jacobs generated three on seven targets immediately. With Jacobs' gravity and established role, Lloyd's opportunities are now severely limited.
