MarShawn Lloyd

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. We'll see how much of a stand-alone role he has this season, but his handcuff value alone is solid.

MarShawn Lloyd is fully healthy for Packers offseason work after a 2024 marred by appendicitis, ankle, and hamstring injuries, per team reports. The 2024 third-rounder is set to back up Josh Jacobs, ahead of Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks.

Fantasy Impact

Lloyd’s speed and pass-catching ability make him a high-upside handcuff for Josh Jacobs, but his one-game rookie season caps him as an RB4 in 2025 redraft leagues. Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks remain depth pieces, unlikely to steal significant touches. At 23, Lloyd’s three-down potential keeps him a dynasty stash with breakout appeal.
