MarShawn Lloyd vs. DAL — Scoring upside in a potential Sunday night shootout

Fresh off a two-touchdown performance against Chicago, MarShawn Lloyd enters Week 6 with plenty of momentum. With Josh Jacobs out and Chris Brooks on injured reserve, Lloyd operates as the lead back in a committee despite his lower depth chart listing.

Facing Dallas in a contest projected to be high scoring, Lloyd offers dependable fantasy utility. Fantasy managers have driven his start rate up to 68% following his recent surge. Our projections target around 9 carries and 2 to 3 catches for about 9 to 11 fantasy points, solidifying him as an attractive flex option with proven goal-line upside.
