MarShawn Lloyd at Minnesota — Stepping into an Expanded Backfield Role
With primary running back Josh Jacobs sidelined on the commissioner exempt list, Lloyd steps into an elevated role in Green Bay's backfield. While offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich indicated the Packers will deploy a committee approach alongside Chris Brooks, Lloyd took lead reps in practice and should pace the ground game.
His fantasy ownership has climbed to 99%, though his 43% start rate reflects some manager caution. Our projections expect around 13 to 14 carries for 55 rushing yards plus light passing-game work (11.6 projected fantasy points). In a projected tight dome matchup in Minnesota, Lloyd is a solid flex option.

Outlook Caleb Douglas
Caleb Douglas at Las Vegas — Starting Role Brings Intrigue, But Best Left on the Bench
Rookie third-round pick Caleb Douglas enters Week 1 listed as a starting outside receiver opposite Jalen Tolbert after an impressive training camp that paved the way for Miami to trade veteran Tutu Atwell. He earned immediate snaps with starting quarterback Malik Willis in the preseason and looks primed for early involvement in coordinator Bobby Slowik's system.
Despite his climb up the depth chart, Douglas belongs on fantasy benches for now. Our weekly projections foresee a measured debut with around two receptions for 25 to 26 yards on roughly three targets in a matchup with a modest 40.5 over/under. Currently rostered in 20% of leagues but started in just 1%, he is an enticing bench stash rather than a Week 1 starter.
