If Tuten is first on my list of players I need to see play, MarShawn Lloyd is a close second. Injury-cursed Lloyd has the opportunity of a lifetime in Josh Jacobs' absence, but you would have to assume the Packers aren't dying to immediately shovel 15-plus touches onto his plate. Maybe he quickly proves his health and resilience and indeed becomes a true starting back, but for now Lloyd needs to be treated as a high-variance FLEX.

Lloyd has breakout opportunity with Jacobs out; treat as high-variance FLEX for now.

The source is a close second to Tuten on the list of players they need to see play.
