MarShawn Lloyd vs DAL at home — high-scoring environment boosts weekly upside

Coming off a two-touchdown breakout against Chicago, MarShawn Lloyd continues to handle an expanded role in Green Bay's backfield with Josh Jacobs out and Chris Brooks on injured reserve. Lloyd carried the ball 10 times last week and has demonstrated steady involvement in both the ground attack and the passing game over recent contests.

Facing Dallas in a projected high-scoring matchup, our models forecast roughly 9 to 10 carries and around three targets, projecting Lloyd for approximately 8.5 to 11 fantasy points. Fantasy managers have taken notice, pushing his start rate near 50%, making him a viable flex starter with solid touchdown upside.

Alvin Kamara at NY Giants: Flex Option With Backfield Opportunity

Kamara is managing a lingering back issue that kept him limited in Wednesday's practice, leaving him questionable for Sunday's road clash with the Giants. With starter Travis Etienne Jr. sidelined on injured reserve, Kamara leads the New Orleans backfield alongside Kendre Miller, so fantasy managers should monitor late-week updates closely.

Rostered in 84% of leagues but started in only 35%, Kamara's fantasy stock has slipped due to sluggish rushing efficiency, but our weekly projection anticipates roughly 11.3 fantasy points on 8 to 9 carries and 3 to 4 receptions. That dependable pass-catching involvement cements him as a viable Flex option across PPR formats.
