Outlook MarShawn Lloyd

MarShawn Lloyd vs. Panthers — Backup Role and Limited Touches Keep Him on Benches

Lloyd enters Week 8 operating as the secondary option in Green Bay's backfield behind Josh Jacobs. While he quickly shook off an in-game injury scare against Detroit, his volume has cooled significantly to just 14 carries over his last two contests with backfield efficiency remaining a challenge.

Our weekly projection models Lloyd for roughly 24 rushing yards on six carries with minimal passing work against Carolina. With fantasy managers starting him in under five percent of leagues and the Packers managing injuries along the offensive interior, Lloyd remains an insurance stash rather than a lineup recommendation.
