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 Ladd McConkey
Primed for a High-Volume Rebound in Mike McDaniel's Explosive Offense
Ladd McConkey enters his third NFL season operating as the primary slot weapon for Justin Herbert and the Chargers. After putting a minor spring hamstring strain behind him, McConkey is fully healthy and positioned to thrive in new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's scheme, which promises more explosive opportunities.
Following an 1,149-yard rookie campaign and a modest sophomore dip, our models project a strong resurgence. We forecast 85 receptions on 119 targets for 1,035 yards and seven touchdowns (213.0 fantasy points), solidifying his standing as Herbert's most dependable chain-mover and red-zone target.
In draft rooms, McConkey's ADP has drifted from around pick 40 in mid-summer to 52.5 entering September. With his start percentage surging to 95%, this slight market discount transforms him into a premier mid-round target who should comfortably beat his current draft-day cost.
