Lloyd inherits lead-back role with Jacobs out; Vikings' weak run defense supports Week 1 start.

Josh Jacobs' placement on the commissioner's exempt list has opened the door for Lloyd to serve as the top running back for the Packers, at least early in the season. Despite only handling six career carries for 15 yards thanks to a series of injuries, he has a favorable matchup against a Vikings defense that allowed the ninth-most rushing yards to RBs last season. The source recommends starting him as a quality RB2 for Week 1.
