Outlook MarShawn Lloyd
Vaulting Into the Spotlight as Green Bay's Lead Backfield Option
MarShawn Lloyd enters the year with a golden opportunity following Josh Jacobs being placed on the commissioner exempt list. Operating ahead of Chris Brooks and Kaleb Johnson on the depth chart, Lloyd is positioned to take on significant touches in Green Bay after coaches confirmed he has no remaining physical limitations.
Lloyd's draft momentum has skyrocketed over the past month. After lingering near an ADP of 400 in early August, his draft position surged all the way to 170 heading into opening week. Fantasy managers have taken notice in 1.0 PPR formats, driving his rostered rate from 6% to over 85%.
Our projections model 525 rushing yards, 20 receptions, and six total touchdowns on 120 attempts. Given his explosive playmaking and ability to catch passes out of the backfield, Lloyd represents an enticing upside gamble who could smash his draft-day cost if he can stay on the field.

Outlook Michael Pittman
Shifting Market Price Creates High-Volume PPR Value in Pittsburgh
Entering Pittsburgh's offense alongside DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman is positioned as a starting outside receiver to help anchor the passing attack with Aaron Rodgers. Coming off an 85-reception, eight-touchdown campaign in 2025, his proven ability to generate underneath and intermediate separation gives the offense a dependable possession option.
Draft sentiment has cooled noticeably over the past month. After hovering near pick 94 throughout late July and early August, Pittman's ADP plummeted past 130 into the late rounds following minor injury concerns. That falling market price creates a substantial buying opportunity in full PPR leagues relative to his projected role.
Our projections expect a steady workload, forecasting 82 catches for 800 yards and six scores on 120 targets (190.0 fantasy points). While a late-camp hamstring issue introduces slight short-term risk, his banked volume profile makes him an underpriced lineup contributor.
