Outlook MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd @ NYJ — Lead back role offers bounce-back flex appeal
With Josh Jacobs still sidelined on the commissioner exempt list, Lloyd serves as Green Bay's primary ball carrier ahead of Chris Brooks. While offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich previously mentioned a committee approach, Lloyd dominated running back touches with 13 carries in the opener and remains positioned for the bulk of early-down work.
After managing just 37 yards in Week 1, fantasy managers have grown hesitant, dropping his start rate to 27%. However, our weekly projection forecasts 11.5 fantasy points on nearly 14 carries for 56 rushing yards. Green Bay enters as road favorites in rainy conditions, pointing toward a steady rushing script that makes Lloyd a viable flex start.

Outlook Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel vs CIN — Opportunity Knocks with Texans Receivers Sidelined
With top receiver Nico Collins recently ruled out with a hamstring injury and Tank Dell on injured reserve, Noel steps into an expanded role in the Texans' passing attack. The second-year receiver showcased his explosive playmaking in Week 1, hauling in both of his targets for 53 yards while also handling return duties.
Our weekly projections slate Noel for approximately two receptions and 45 receiving yards (around 7.5 fantasy points) against Cincinnati. While currently rostered in only 10% of fantasy leagues, the sudden influx of vacated targets elevates him into a viable deep-league play or upside stash.
