MarShawn Lloyd vs. Vikings: Stepping into the Spotlight as Green Bay's Lead Back

With starter Josh Jacobs sidelined on the commissioner's exempt list, Lloyd has elevated to the starting role after taking first-team reps in practice. Fully healthy and cleared of any previous workload precautions, he is poised to lead the Packers' backfield rotation ahead of Chris Brooks and Kaleb Johnson.

Fantasy managers have rushed to start him, with his start rate climbing above 41% across leagues. Our weekly projections target roughly 14 carries for 55 rushing yards and potential goal-line touches, making him a high-upside flex option with RB2 potential against Minnesota.

Outlook Devaughn Vele

Devaughn Vele at Detroit — Slot Role Offers Sneaky Deep-League Value

Devaughn Vele enters the regular-season opener fully healthy and operating as New Orleans' primary slot receiver. With wideout Jordyn Tyson sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Vele is positioned for immediate work alongside Chris Olave in an offense now led by Tyler Shough.

Our weekly projections slate Vele for roughly 2.5 receptions, 30 receiving yards, and 4.1 targets, yielding approximately 7.2 fantasy points. Currently rostered in just 17% of leagues with a 1% start rate, fantasy managers can keep him on the bench in standard setups, but he profiles as a sneaky PPR stash or deep-league flex if he commands reliable slot volume.
