Lloyd loses fumble and touches in Packers’ win

MarShawn Lloyd

GB Running Back #32

Player Stats

MarShawn Lloyd rushed six times for 20 yards in the Packers’ Week 2 win over the Jets, adding six yards receiving and a touchdown.

Perhaps more importantly, Lloyd lost a key fumble in the second half and then was barely on the field after that. The 25-year-old had plenty of trouble earning yards in the running game, but he was wide open on a well-designed screen pass in the first half for a touchdown catch. Lloyd played on just 16 of the Packers’ 53 snaps and handled seven of their 19 carries. This is a confusing committee that isn’t giving any running back real value, and Josh Jacobs could return at some point near the middle of the season. Fantasy managers in shallow leagues don’t need to hold onto Lloyd, and others could look to trade him away on the back of his receiving touchdown.

Josh Jacobs

GB Running Back #8

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Josh Jacobs rushed 21 times for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Packers’ Week 8 win over the Panthers, adding six catches for 13 yards and another score.

Jacobs’ fantasy game was salvaged with two scores, but the tailback didn’t look particularly spry in the process. He had a long gain of just six, and there was almost no burst even against the porous Panthers’ run defense. He was involved in the passing game, but again, outside of his four-yard receiving score, there really wasn’t much there. It’s clear this is Jacobs’ backfield despite the scuffles, as MarShawn Lloyd had just three touches in the contest for seven yards. He’s a volatile low-end RB1 candidate for Week 9 against the Patriots.
Pierre Strong

GB Running Back #22

Pierre Strong rushed 11 times for 28 yards in the Packers’ Week 6 win over the Cowboys, adding 39 yards on five receptions.

Strong’s 17 opportunities handily led the backfield on a night MarShawn Lloyd was in and out of the game due to an early injury scare. Even so, he managed only 2.8 yards per carry. With Josh Jacobs expected to be activated off the commissioner’s exempt list on Monday, Strong, Lloyd, and Kaleb Johnson can safely be returned to the waiver wire from whence they came.
MarShawn Lloyd

GB Running Back #32

MarShawn Lloyd rushed 10 times for 31 yards and a two touchdowns in the Packers’ Week 5 win over the Bears, adding a six-yard reception.

Although he notched a receiving score in Week 2, these were the first two rushing touchdowns of Lloyd’s career. Awesome stuff, though a player who was averaging 2.7 yards per carry coming into this afternoon saw that number sit at just 3.1 against the Bears. The Pack also got journeyman Pierre Strong involved in their increasingly frustrating backfield committee. Strong was mostly just absorbing Chris Brooks’ (ankle, injured reserve) lost work, but that of course means Lloyd wasn’t seeing a bigger workload. Although the scores are nice, Lloyd is still lacking an RB2 profile heading into Week 6. He will be a low-upside FLEX vs. the Cowboys.
Chris Brooks

GB Running Back #30

Chris Brooks (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Brooks suffered the ankle injury in Week 4. He went down in the first half and did not return. Brooks underwent testing on his ankle after the game, though the exact nature of his injury has yet to be reported. He does appear to be on the wrong side of questionable for Week 5. If he can’t go, MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson will split the backfield. Johnson led the team in carries last week but also gave up a goal line fumble. We expect Lloyd to get the start versus Chicago on Sunday.
Chris Brooks

GB Running Back #30

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Chris Brooks is undergoing tests on his ankle.

Brooks left the Packers’ Week 4 win over the Bucs with an ankle injury in the first half. He did not return after the break and LaFleur didn’t have any definitive answers about the injury on Monday. It sounds like his status for Week 5 is very much up in the air. After coughing up a goal line fumble, Kaleb Johnson would likely take a backseat to MarShawn Lloyd once again. Lloyd has some low-end RB3 appeal as the potential lead back, but this is ultimately a backfield to avoid for fantasy purposes if possible.
MarShawn Lloyd

GB Running Back #32

MarShawn Lloyd played on 22.7 percent of the offensive snaps in the Packers’ Week 3 loss to the Falcons.

The Packers largely played in a trailing game script last night. Lloyd does not have meaningful access to passing down snaps, logging just one snap on third down and none in the two-minute drill, making him mostly dependent on decent rushing workloads. He played 45.5 percent of the red zone snaps and took the lone snap inside the five-yard line, but was held out of the end zone. Lloyd’s six touches led the backfield, but are hardly enough to keep him locked in 12-team FLEX spots.
Kaleb Johnson

GB Running Back #26

Kaleb Johnson rushed four times for six yards in the Packers’ Week 3 loss to the Falcons, adding 10 yards on one reception.

The two backs combined for the only eight running back rush attempts on a night the Packers’ offensive line was completely manhandled by an aggressive and athletic Atlanta front. Lloyd took his four carries for 11 yards while Johnson managed only six on his four totes. Both backs were targeted three times through the air, with Johnson going for 10 yards on one reception and Lloyd managing just seven yards on two grabs. This backfield is a complete mess amidst Josh Jacobs’ absence and mounting injuries along the offensive line, with neither back anywhere near a usable fantasy asset ahead of a Week 4 road matchup with the pass-funnel Buccaneers.
MarShawn Lloyd

GB Running Back #32

MarShawn Lloyd rushed 13 times for 37 yards in the Packers’ Week 1 loss to the Vikings.

Chris Brooks drew the start in this game and held a carries advantage over Lloyd for a while. Matt LaFleur eventually came to his senses and got Lloyd more involved, though it didn’t result in much production. He averaged a measly 2.8 yards per carry and didn’t catch his lone target. Lloyd will project for more carries than Brooks in Week 2, but he’s a committee back without a role in the passing game. Lloyd will shuffle to the back of the RB3 ranks versus the Jets next week.
Josh Jacobs

GB Running Back #8

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Packers RB Josh Jacobs remains on the Commissioner’s Exempt List and that there is “no timetable” as to when he could be disciplined.

The NFL is “closely monitoring all developments in the matter, which remains under review of the personal conduct policy.” We expect Jacobs to receive a suspension, but the league can move at its own pace. Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd is expected to serve as the fill-in starter.
Josh Jacobs

GB Running Back #8

The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman reports Josh Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property.

Jacobs’ trial was initially slated to take place on November 17th. That date was recently moved up to today, signaling that Jacobs wanted to wrap up his legal proceedings quickly. He has been on the Commissioner’s Exempt List since the end of training camp. Roger Goodell could have kept him on the list indefinitely, especially with the trial previously scheduled multiple months into the season. With the legal matter now settled, Jacobs will likely serve a minor suspension as a result of the charges. MarShawn Lloyd is expected to handle the bulk of the carries until he returns.

Rashid Shaheed (knee) remained sidelined for Friday’s practice.

Shaheed is now firmly on the wrong side of questionable heading into Monday evening’s game against the Bears. If he was in your third receiver or second FLEX spot in a 14-team league, it is time to start making other plans.

Zach Charbonnet (knee) was downgraded to “limited” for Friday’s practice.

It’s not particularly concerning — this is probably part of a pre-established practice plan as Charbonnet completes his injury comeback — but Jadarian Price’s Friday return to full practice certainly has our attention. Now even if Charbonnet does manage to make his 2026 debut on Monday evening against the Bears, he could have even more company in Seattle’s crowded backfield. Both backs returning would make all three of Charbonnet, Price and Emanuel Wilson shaky FLEX plays. We will receive official game designations on Saturday afternoon. Until then, hang tight.

Jadarian Price (chest) was upgraded to “full” for Friday’s practice.

Price was upgraded to full while Zach Charbonnet (knee) was downgraded to limited. That is probably part of a pre-planned process with Charbonnet, but as of Friday evening, we suppose Price is now technically closer to returning than his veteran backfield mate. As it is, both players now seem more likely than not to suit up, which would make for an extremely chaotic fantasy situation with Emanuel Wilson still in the fold. With the Seahawks playing on Monday evening, we will receive official game designations Saturday afternoon.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Daron Payne suffered a “significant foot injury” in practice Friday.

Rapoport adds that the injury is likely to sideline the standout defensive tackle “for the foreseeable future,” with a stint on injured reserve appearing likely. The Commanders continue to be dealt significant injuries, this time on the defensive side of the ball, as they fight to remain in contention in a fragile NFC East division. The team will know more about the extent of the injury when Payne undergoes further testing Saturday.

KaVontae Turpin (ribs) was ruled out for Week 8 against the Cardinals.

Week 8 will mark the second consecutive absence for the veteran kick returner, with little-to-no impact on the offensive pieces around him considering he has played more than 12 offensive snaps only once all season. Fantasy managers are more interested in the potential status of George Pickens, who is listed as questionable. If Pickens can’t go, Ryan Flournoy could see a slight uptick in opportunities on the perimeter.

George Pickens (shoulder/hamstring) is questionable for Week 8 against the Cardinals.

Pickens saw a hamstring designation added to his status this week after playing through a shoulder ailment the previous two games, which was enough for the team to list him as questionable after a week of limited sessions. Although we expect Pickens to continue to play through his injuries, fantasy managers will want to confirm his status when the team releases inactives 90-minutes prior to first kick. If active, Pickens is an upside WR2 against the Cardinals.

Tyler Allgeier (toe) was removed from the injury report and will in Week 8 against the Cowboys.

Allgeier saw a steady progression in practice throughout the week, starting off with a “DNP” before upgrading in each subsequent session, culminating in a full practice Friday. He will be available to form a likely three-headed timeshare with Jeremiyah Love and Bam Knight against the Cowboys and likely does not warrant fantasy consideration.

RJ Harvey (knee) was ruled out for Week 8 against the Chiefs.

Harvey was added to the injury report Thursday with a knee injury before being unable to practice Friday, ultimately ruled out for the team’s divisional clash against the Chiefs. Expect Jonah Coleman to serve as the primary rusher in addition to the possibility he sees his pass game involvement tick up in the absences of both Harvey and Tyler Badie, the latter of whom is on injured reserve. The increase in opportunity is enough to vault Coleman into viable FLEX territory for Week 8.

Jaylen Waddle (chest) is questionable for Denver’s Week 8 game against the Chiefs.

Waddle got in two limited sessions after missing practice on Wednesday. It feels like he’s on the optimistic side of questionable given the trend line, though of course you would have preferred to see a full session somewhere in here. It’s also possible he winds up on a snap count, so we’ll see if any insiders dig up anything on that this weekend.
