I understand the situational appeal with Lloyd, but my non-fantasy take is that the Packers should try to trade for a reliable backup and still treat Lloyd more like a lottery ticket. He's barely played football since 2022-23, when he was a timeshare back with ball-security issues for eight-win teams. Since then, he's missed two years with injuries. It's not just about staying healthy; we have no clue yet if this guy is even any good.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Lloyd's preseason TD doesn't offset injury history and lack of recent game experience.

Got the start and took 5-of-6 RB touches on opening drive, including 11-yard TD catch; finished 6 carries for 17 yards plus TD. However, Jordyn Tyson cautions: Lloyd is barely played football since 2022-23 (timeshare back with ball-security issues), missed two years with injuries, and "we have no clue yet if this guy is even any good." Tyson recommends treating him as a lottery ticket and suggests Packers should trade for a reliable backup.
