Outlook MarShawn Lloyd

MarShawn Lloyd vs ATL — Committee Role in a Favorable Home Matchup

With Josh Jacobs sidelined, Lloyd is navigating a backfield committee alongside Chris Brooks. Following a 13-carry debut in Week 1, Lloyd saw his rushing volume dip to six carries in Week 2, though he salvaged his outing with a six-yard receiving touchdown from Jordan Love. Averaging just 3.0 yards per carry so far, he remains locked in a rotational split rather than dominating touches.

As five-point home favorites against the winless Falcons, game script should favor the ground game. However, with his start rate dropping to 18%, fantasy managers are treating him with caution. Our weekly projection lands at approximately 10 carries for 42 yards and nine fantasy points, leaving Lloyd as a touchdown-dependent flex or deep-league play.

Outlook Kenny Gainwell

Kenny Gainwell vs. Vikings — Limited Change-of-Pace Role Keeps Fantasy Value on the Bench

Operating behind Bucky Irving in Tampa Bay's backfield, Gainwell has handled a minor rotational role through the first two weeks. He has totaled just seven carries for 25 yards alongside four receptions on five targets, functioning primarily as a complementary pass-catching option rather than a sustained volume runner.

Our models project Gainwell for approximately 7.7 fantasy points on six carries and two to three targets against Minnesota. With his start rate dropping to 6%, fantasy managers should keep him stashed on the bench outside of very deep PPR leagues.
