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 Chris Olave
Chris Olave at Detroit — High Target Ceiling in High-Scoring Opener
Olave enters the regular-season opener fully healthy as New Orleans' clear top receiving option. With fellow wideout Jordyn Tyson on injured reserve and Alvin Kamara sidelined, Olave should absorb heavy target volume from quarterback Tyler Shough against the Lions indoors at Ford Field.
Facing a high-scoring game environment where New Orleans is a touchdown underdog, Olave is positioned for a pass-heavy script. Our weekly projection tabs him for around 6 catches for 64 yards, and fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.
