Lloyd has catapulted up fantasy rankings and draft boards since Josh Jacobs was placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List. A report Tuesday, Sept. 8 indicated the Packers could deploy a committee to start the season, creating a legitimate threat to Lloyd's workload. Lloyd has played only one regular-season game, totaling six carries for 15 yards, and hasn't played an NFL regular-season snap since 2024.

Lloyd lacks track record and faces committee risk and tough Vikings defense.

Lloyd has catapulted up fantasy rankings since Josh Jacobs was placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List, but faces a tough divisional matchup at the Vikings in Week 1. Minnesota allowed the tenth-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs last season. Green Bay added Kaleb Johnson and has Chris Brooks available to take meaningful snaps, with a report indicating the Packers could deploy a committee to start the season, creating a legitimate threat to Lloyd's workload. Lloyd has played only one regular-season game (six carries for 15 yards) and hasn't played an NFL regular-season snap since 2024, leaving no strong track record to trust in Week 1.
