MarShawn Lloyd

The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman believes MarShawn Lloyd “should have an early impact” for the Packers.

The Packers selected Lloyd with the no. 88 overall pick in this year’s draft. In a Packers mailbag article, Schneidman notes that Lloyd “won’t be the starter, per se,” but added that he won’t ride the bench like we saw AJ Dillon do in his rookie season. Lynch brings a versatile skillset to the Packers’ offense, similar to what we saw from Aaron Jones and what we expect to see from Josh Jacobs. Schneidman also highlighted Lloyd’s shiftiness and explosiveness in traffic. Lloyd will likely open the season as the Packers’ RB2 with a chance to spell Jacobs on third downs. He’s a solid stash late in redraft leagues and has some contingent top-24 PPR upside if Jacobs were ever to miss time.
