Fantasy Football Player Notes

With Chris Brooks out this week, MarShawn Lloyd becomes an interesting desperation flex play. Last week, he led the backfield with a 54.5% snap share and 46.7% route share (16.7% target share). Yes, he was second among the group with a 28% rushing share, but that could change this week. Lloyd's 1.40 yards after contact per attempt isn't great, but he has only seen 1.30 yards before contact per attempt behind Green Bay's horrendous offensive line. Lloyd also has a solid 20% missed tackle rate, which is quite strong, and he posted 2.57 YPRR last week with that season-high 46.7% route share. Lloyd could surprise this week. The Bears' run defense has been awful, allowing the eighth-highest explosive run rate, the highest rushing success rate, and the third-most yards before contact per attempt.
