MarShawn Lloyd looks primed to enter Week 1 as the Packers' workhorse back with Josh Jacobs on the commissioner-exempt list... Last year, Minny ranked 16th in explosive run rate and 15th in yards after contact per attempt while giving up the sixth-highest rushing success rate and the fourth-lowest stuff rate.
STACKED’s take
Lloyd gets workhorse role with Jacobs out; Minnesota's weak run defense offers Week 1 upside.
Lloyd is primed to enter Week 1 as the Packers' workhorse back with Josh Jacobs on the commissioner-exempt list. His college tape is strong: in his final two seasons, he ranked 20th and 16th in yards after contact per attempt, third and 18th in breakaway rate, and fourth and 15th in elusive rating (per PFF, minimum 100 carries). Minnesota's run defense lost parts and added Caleb Banks, Domonique Orange, and Jake Golday this offseason. Derek Brown notes Minnesota ranked 16th in explosive run rate and 15th in yards after contact per attempt last year while giving up the sixth-highest rushing success rate and fourth-lowest stuff rate, suggesting Lloyd can exploit the matchup.
