Yahoo Fantasy Football on MarShawn Lloyd
From the article
he saw all the work with the first-team offense with Josh Jacobs absent for the preseason opener against Pittsburgh, racking up five touches on the first eight plays from scrimmage. Jacobs has missed practice time with a groin injury...Lloyd appears to be firmly established as the next-man-up...Lloyd would be extremely fantasy relevant with that kind of volume
STACKED’s take
Lloyd's first-team work with Jacobs sidelined makes him an attractive late-round backup stash.
Lloyd earned Day 2 draft capital in 2024 (88th overall) but has missed the vast majority of his first two NFL seasons; however, he saw all the work with the first-team offense with Josh Jacobs absent for the preseason opener against Pittsburgh, racking up five touches on the first eight plays from scrimmage. Jacobs has missed practice time with a groin injury and is still mired in question marks surrounding his alleged domestic abuse incident in May. Should the injury bug become a bigger problem for Jacobs—or should the NFL dole out a suspension—Lloyd appears to be firmly established as the next-man-up. Jacobs has shouldered 607 touches the past two seasons in Green Bay, and Lloyd would be extremely fantasy relevant with that kind of volume even if he wasn't particularly efficient. At ADP 132.1 (↑ 9.5), Lloyd looks particularly promising as a late-round backup stash.
