Suggested FAAB bid of 80-100% of annual budget. Lloyd likely went undrafted in many July/early August leagues and was affected by Josh Jacobs' placement on the commissioner's exempt list.

Lloyd went from relative afterthought to projected lead back in a top-10 offense in about a week, with value rising 3.0 points (4.1 to 7.1).

He currently holds value as a handcuff and one of the most valuable backup running backs in fantasy.PositiveValueAug 27, 2026

Lloyd should be on your priority bench running back target list as early as the 11th/12th round. With Josh Jacobs dealing with injury and potential suspension, Lloyd has a clear path to increased opportunity in the Green Bay backfield.PositiveBreakoutAug 11, 2026
Lloyd has turned heads in camp after a visit to the Meyer Institute of Sport helped him figure out why he couldn't stay healthy in his first two years of his career. He has stayed healthy this offseason and is impressing at camp, even catching balls as a downfield receiver.NegativeBreakoutAug 10, 2026
Lloyd has a significant opportunity to break out as the RB2 with Josh Jacobs facing legal and injury concerns. The Packers are relatively thin in the backfield with little to challenge Lloyd for the role. Lloyd remains a tremendous athletic talent, though health has been a long-standing concern; he's been active for only one game through two NFL seasons. GM Brian Gutekunst noted that every time Lloyd has gotten an opportunity when healthy, he's been impactful and continues to do that. Lombardi Ave's Freddie Boston is thrilled with Lloyd's potential.PositiveValueAug 9, 2026

MarShawn Lloyd has fallen 10 picks in FBG OC ADP over the last month, dropping from pick 157 to pick 167 (RB56). This downward movement in high-stakes draft capital indicates decreased confidence in his fantasy value.PositiveValueJul 14, 2026
MarShawn Lloyd has surged 11 spots in Underdog ADP, moving from 207 to 196, marking the largest riser move of the week for the RB59-ranked running back.PositiveSleeperNo date
Lloyd's first two NFL seasons have been defined by injuries that crushed momentum, but if he can stay healthy, he has real upside. He has been nicknamed the 'Yeet Cannon' by teammates and should be the RB2 if he continues his recent run of good health. Josh Jacobs' off-field issues are still lingering and could create short-term upside if Jacobs gets suspended.
