MarShawn Lloyd vs. Bears — Volatile Flex Option in Shorthanded Backfield
With Josh Jacobs out and Chris Brooks recently placed on injured reserve, MarShawn Lloyd steps into prominent touches in Green Bay's backfield committee. While offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich praised Lloyd's tough short-yardage running this week, efficiency remains an issue after averaging just 2.7 yards per carry across his first four games.
Lloyd's fantasy appeal is buoyed by passing-game involvement, having secured seven receptions over his past two outings. Facing Chicago at home, our models project him for roughly 10 carries and 2–3 catches for about 8 to 10 fantasy points. Given his modest rushing efficiency, he settles in as a volatile flex option for managers navigating bye weeks.

Outlook Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard vs IND — Expanding Depth Role in Pittsburgh's Passing Attack
With Michael Pittman Jr. landing on injured reserve due to a foot injury, rookie receiver Germie Bernard has an opportunity to carve out additional rotational snaps. Working behind DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson on the depth chart, Bernard has hauled in three catches for 25 yards over his last two games, earning occasional trust from Aaron Rodgers.
Despite the injuries in the receiving corps, Bernard remains a low-volume option. Our projections anticipate roughly 2.4 receptions on nearly four targets for 29 receiving yards (6.4 fantasy points) against Indianapolis. Started in just 1% of leagues, fantasy managers in standard formats should keep him on the bench or treat him as a deep-league stash.
