Packers (at Lions): Josh Jacobs was back Matthew Golden was hurt in the 2Q but played through it Personnel on dropbacks: 11 at 70%, 13 at 15%, 12 at 15% RBs: Josh Jacobs: 69% opp share, 61% rush att share, 45% route share, 33% TPRR, 2.62 YPRR, 100% of i10 rush att, 0% of 2min RB snaps, 60% 3rd down snap share No ramp-up at all - he was the lead back in his 1st game back The run game is still struggling, but he’s going to get TDs and catch passes, so he’s a high-end RB2 MarShawn Lloyd: 31% opp...PositiveNewsOct 16, 2026
Drop Kaleb Johnson and Pierre Strong in deep leagues, hold and play Marshawn Lloyd in Week 6PositiveNewsOct 12, 2026
Important: When you look at stats make sure you look the stats make sure you filter out garbage time stuff Marshawn Lloyd and Pierre Strong were the only 2 backs in this onePositiveNewsOct 12, 2026
Probably no Micah Parsons against the Cowboys Also start Love, Watson, Golden, & Kraft this week Can start MarShawn Lloyd in a pinch tooNegativeUsageOct 11, 2026
Packers (vs Bears): Lloyd's last snap was 15:00 of Q4 (14 team plays after) Kaleb Johnson's first snap was 8:26 of Q4 Competitive-only numbers below (45 plays, 30 dropbacks) RBs - Lloyd on early downs, Strong on 3rd: MarShawn Lloyd: 60% opp share, 33% route share, 100% of i10 rush att, 60% of 2min RB snaps, 22% 3rd down snap share Probably only RB3/Flex worthy in this role - pass 1st team, but things are looking less bleak - I played him in a high stakes leagues because of injuries and byes P...PositiveNewsOct 11, 2026
This was from Week 1 and it seems like the Packers are operating with MarShawn Lloyd as the lead with Pierre Strong as the spell/scat/3rd down back I said it last week then Brooks got hurt and Kaleb Johnson worked inPositiveNewsOct 10, 2026
Okay so Pierre Strong, Marshawn Lloyd, & Kaleb Johnson until when/if Josh Jacobs comes backPositiveInjuryOct 5, 2026
GB at TB - Packers RBs: Chris Brooks opened as the lead back and left with the ankle at 14:54 in 2Q Before he went down (18 plays) it was: Brooks 56% opp / 63% routes MarShawn Lloyd 44% / 25% Kaleb Johnson did not take a snap with Brooks healthy Once Brooks exited it became a split: Johnson 50% of opportunities and Lloyd 50% over the next 37 plays, but the roles were different Johnson was the early-down and goal-line back (2 of 3 carries inside the 5, 8 carries for 44 yards with a 31-yarder)...PositiveNewsOct 4, 2026
Marshawn Lloyd testing the hamstrings on this onePositiveNewsOct 1, 2026
We could break away from the Packers heavy RBBC approach this week: The problem is we don’t know if it will be MarShawn Lloyd or Kaleb Johnson Of course the blocking is bad so it may not matter, but for deep leagues it might via @mikespoffordPositiveUsageSep 25, 2026
Packers: RBs - 15 total backfield opportunities which tells you how this went: Kaleb Johnson: 47% opp share, 27% route share, 0% of i10 rush att, 40% of 2min RB snaps MarShawn Lloyd: 47% opp share, 20% route share, 100% of i10 (all 1 of them), 0% of 2min Chris Brooks: 7% opp share, 40% route share, 73% of the third down work, 60% of 2min The way this OL is (very bad) coupled with the Packers D being bad, coupled with a 3-man backfield - you’re not getting much here unless things turnaround qu...PositiveNewsSep 21, 2026
As a MarShawn Lloyd bag holder, I am worried and think Kaleb Johnson (and maybe/prob Chris Brooks) is an add while we figure out more on Josh Jacobs and what the coaches say about LloydPositiveNewsSep 20, 2026
Packers getting MarShawn Lloyd going in the pass game today Couldn’t do it as much last week - needed pass protection vs Vikings crazy blitz I talked about this in different forums this week - context to the data is very importantPositiveNewsSep 20, 2026
A few my board likes today on @DKSports via @gambly: Marshawn Lloyd o49.5 rush yards -109 Drake London u4.5 rec -105 Samaje Perine u4.5 rush att -116 Good luck this week!NegativeUsageSep 1, 2026
Marshawn Lloyd will likely be the lead back (as expected) for WK1 per @cheeseheadtv They also believe Pierre Strong will get touches (a lot) I think they are tempering Lloyd expectations a bit given injury history Then Chris Brooks will also factor in Seems like they are unsure if Kaleb Johnson is active WK1, which can obviously change over time Makes me feel like I’d rather let him go undrafted - I’m sure at some point that changes but the fact that it’s a question makes me wonder if he’d e...PositiveNewsAug 30, 2026
How early is too early for Marshawn Lloyd in the 50 slow drafts I'm in @MBFantasyLife Just took him at 72 in a slow I think anywhere after Bucky/Judkins is finePositiveNewsAug 30, 2026
Now the Kaleb Johnson addition makes more sense (made sense anyway) Marshawn Lloyd presumably gets a lot of work and they get to test Kaleb + Brooks as wellPositiveUsageAug 27, 2026
Exciting that MarShawn Lloyd has made it through his 1st NFL training camp unscathed - hopefully that persists through the last preseason game He remains in my top 2-3 pure handcuff bet this season (no guaranteed complementary role)PositiveNewsAug 26, 2026
Full context on Josh Jacobs, which should be taken (to me) as the case is not closed and the possibility exists but there isn't a real update at this time Still believe MarShawn Lloyd is a priority handcuffNegativeNewsAug 26, 2026
Packers are prepping for a scenario where Josh Jacobs is suspended and could make more RB moves if it happens but.. This is your sign on MarShawn Lloyd - hopefully the bags have been packedNegativeNewsAug 26, 2026
Packers are prepping for a scenario where Josh Jacobs is suspended and don’t plan to go after any meaningful RBs This is your sign on MarShawn Lloyd - hopefully the bags have been packedPositiveNewsAug 22, 2026
On MarShawn Lloyd: Jordan Love said his TD pass to Lloyd was the 1st read on the play Pretty awesome that LaFleur trusted him or wanted to see how Lloyd would execute in that situation and that he won + scoredPositiveUsageAug 22, 2026
Packers film review w/ Love: It was a long drive - 1st 6 plays Matthew Golden and Christian Watson don’t come off the field, then play 7-8 they come off before coming back on for play 9-10, Golden is off for play 11, and Watson is off for the final play Still feeling bullish on Watson/Golden/Reed playing a ton Marshawn Lloyd got 2/3 the snaps this time with Chris Brooks back, who’s plays were mainly pass plays (though Lloyd was in for pass plays and caught a TD signaling he can do the routes...PositiveNewsAug 18, 2026
We probably saw one of Tyrone Tracy’s last pass pro reps with Jaxson Dart for a while One of the few vet FA RBs who was likely to take an ambiguous handcuff’s job Helps guys like McGowan, Emmett Johnson, MarShawn Lloyd, Jaydon Blue, Adam Randall, Mike Washington & morePositiveNewsAug 18, 2026
Dr. John Meyer is the person who’s been working with MarShawn Lloyd this offseason IIRC Hoping it helps a ton - glad he’s taking the steps nowPositiveUsageAug 17, 2026
Matt LaFleur wants to get MarShawn Lloyd more touches in the next preseason game and said this: "MarShawn is a guy, he's going to go 1,000 mph.. I was pleased with his effort" The plan is to keep feeding him touches as he stacks healthy days via @ByRyanWood et alPositiveNewsAug 15, 2026
Good to hear MarShawn Lloyd is healthy after the game yesterday Reports have had him as the clear RB2 when healthy for a while and given the offense and skillset he should keep rising quite a bit - I was taking a lot of him and plan to ride it up for now via @mattschneidmanPositiveNewsAug 14, 2026
Packers notes on Jordan Love plays: 11P = Watson, Golden, Reed (slot) 12P = Watson, Golden The all played a ton, as I suspected but small sample MarShawn Lloyd was a bellcow - I don’t think he came off the field, but they were lacking Jacobs and BrooksPositiveNewsAug 12, 2026
MarShawn Lloyd, clear Packers RB2 (from the team YouTube): His price is rising, so get in while you can Will start the preseason game and if he comes out healthy (and looks good) that price will keep moving up via @mikespoffordPositiveNewsAug 11, 2026
I've been pretty concerned about Josh Jacobs' ability to stay healthy all offseason We knew about the groin injury, but didn't know how bad Still think this (and related items) can create lingering issues If you've been following you've probably already been drafting MarShawn Lloyd, but if you haven't I think he's a very good pick (obviously his health matters) Packers can save 13.5M if they cut Jacobs next season, so there's a big opportunity for Lloyd to prove he's healthyPositiveUsageAug 11, 2026
Another day where Josh Jacobs is out and MarShawn Lloyd is healthy getting 1st team reps Given how much time he’s missed he needs all the reps he can get, but I’m bullish he can earn a complementary role and be the primary RB2 based on reportsPositiveNewsAug 8, 2026
On MarShawn Lloyd, RB2: Sounds pretty definitive that we’re just worried about health, but he’s the clear RB2 on the Packers Take: I have him pretty high in my ranks relative to most - think we should be taking shots and if he gets hurt, so be it. Via @mikespoffordPositiveNewsAug 7, 2026
A few things from last night in case you missed it on: Bo Nix Terrance Ferguson Jayden Reed Marshawn LloydPositiveUsageAug 7, 2026
Huge MarShawn Lloyd day: With Josh Jacobs sidelined, Lloyd got the bulk of the 1st team carries (remember Brooks is on NFI) and he “absolutely delivered” Take: Feels like a strong bet provided health as a solid dart throw/handcuff. Via @AaronNaglerPositiveUsageAug 5, 2026
Sounds decently Bullish on MarShawn Lloyd: "off to a good start and seems poised to have a major role" Via @JacobWestendorfPositiveNewsAug 3, 2026
Packers RB Room: Damien Martinez as a player to watch - that has my attention Jordan Love speaking about Marshawn Lloyd as a special playmaker in the run and pass game has my attention too via @BillHuberNFLPositiveNewsAug 3, 2026
Marshawn Lloyd update: Still healthy through 4 training camp practices Via @JacobWestendorfPositiveUsageJul 31, 2026
Speculative on MarShawn Lloyd, but what you want to hear: Not just a 3rd down back - feature back in the making Catching passes out of the backfield Take: Stay healthy MarShawn Lloyd! Via @mikespoffordPositiveUsageJul 30, 2026
Marshawn Lloyd took some 1st team reps yesterday Team wants to keep building his workload during camp Jordan Love called him a special playmaker Important to note Chris Brooks is on NFI so he wasn’t practicing Via @mikespoffordPositiveUsageJul 29, 2026
Marshawn Lloyd is healthy and participating in practice and scoring TDs Has to stay healthy but could play a complementary role this seasonPositiveNewsJul 25, 2026
Speculative, but if MarShawn Lloyd is not good in preseason the Packers could look for a veteran free agent (mentioned Cardinals RBs) Via @AaronNaglerPositiveUsageJul 22, 2026
Packers insider Aaron Nagler expects Chris Brooks to take more of the spell duties early on to get MarShawn Lloyd up to speed Says he expects the team to rotate Brooks and Lloyd in to keep Jacobs healthy and fresh and manage his workload a bitPositiveDepth ChartJul 20, 2026
Definitely speculative on the Packers RB2 role, but worth noting that the Packers are live to trade for a backup RB (or sign someone who gets cut) if MarShawn Lloyd is unable to stay healthyPositiveNewsJul 20, 2026
Packers beat says Damien Martinez will be ready for training camp Considers Martinez as a potential backup RB in case MarShawn Lloyd can’t stay healthy again I found this interesting because I know Martinez had a nice profile out of college but off-field concerns popped up
