Fantasy Life Articles on MarShawn Lloyd
From the article
With Josh Jacobs on the Commissioner's Exempt List, Lloyd is the favorite to lead the Packers backfield in Week 1. While he is highly unproven with only six career attempts, the 2024 Round 3 NFL pick resides in a potent offense committed to maintaining balance to unlock their game plan. Lloyd settled in as the RB38 in fantasy drafts, but projects FAR BETTER in Week 1. Lloyd lands in the same tier as other lead backs without bell-cow status like Bucky Irving and Cam Skattebo. He comes in ahead of players like Jaylen Warren, Bhayshul Tuten, Jordan Mason, and J.K. Dobbins for Week 1.
STACKED’s take
Lloyd projects far better than RB38 ADP at RB22 with Jacobs out and Vikings run defense weakened.
Lloyd is a low-end RB2 in Week 1 and should be in starting lineups in most 12-team leagues with 2 RBs and one flex spot; he is a lock in 12-team leagues with two flex options. With Josh Jacobs on the Commissioner's Exempt List, Lloyd is the favorite to lead the Packers backfield. Though highly unproven with only six career attempts, he resides in a potent offense committed to balance. The Packers project the No. 11 team total (24.0) in a close game (0.5 spread). The Vikings were a stout run defense in 2025 but lost Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave in the interior, with Caleb Banks currently slotted as a backup. Lloyd settled as RB38 in drafts but projects far better in Week 1, landing in the same tier as Bucky Irving and Cam Skattebo and ahead of Jaylen Warren, Bhayshul Tuten, Jordan Mason, and J.K. Dobbins. He is RB22 in consensus ranks.
