Lloyd may not have the same talent ceiling as Brooks, but his path to immediate production is even cleaner. Josh Jacobs is on the Commissioner's Exempt List and could stay on there for much of the season... Both Brooks and Lloyd have cleared the biggest health-related hurdles, but we're still getting a discount because they're believed to be injury-prone.

Next-man-up with clean path if Jacobs suspended; talent exceeds injury-discount ADP.

Lloyd is a Day Two rookie with a cleaner path to immediate production than Jonathon Brooks. Josh Jacobs is on the Commissioner's Exempt List and could be suspended for 6–10 games. Lloyd's competition includes special teamer Chris Brooks and Steelers castoff Kaleb Johnson. Both Brooks and Lloyd have cleared major health hurdles but are discounted because they're believed injury-prone; drafters overvalue their ability to predict the next injury, and both have talent to blow away their ADPs.
