Fantasy Football Player Notes

One of the best inside runners in the league, Jacobs had 1,329 rushing yards and a career-high 15 TD runs in his first season with the Packers. He ranked sixth in the league in rushing attempts with 301, and Jacobs once again projects as a workhorse for the Packers, who were the third run-heaviest team in the league last season.

Lloyd lost nearly his entire rookie season to injuries. First, he dealt with a hamstring strain during training camp and the preseason. That was followed by an ankle sprain in Week 2 and surgery to treat appendicitis after that. It was an unfortunate and insane runout for the former third-round pick out of USC. Don't forget Lloyd is a ridiculously talented player who ranked 16th and 20th in yards after contact per attempt and fourth and 15th in elusive rating across his final two collegiate seasons (per PFF). The Packers didn't add anyone to the backfield in the draft. Lloyd should be considered the favorite for the RB2/handcuff spot on the depth chart for Green Bay behind Josh Jacobs, but the groin issue he sustained in camp could hinder that. We'll see how much of a stand-alone role he has this season, but his handcuff value alone is solid.
