MarShawn Lloyd Rest-of-Season Outlook
RB4 for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's RB43 at 5.4 PPR points per game.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Kaleb Johnson next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
The next favorable matchup is the Cowboys in Week 6 (8th against RBs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Lloyd's NFL career is still essentially theoretical. A 2024 third-round pick (88th overall) out of USC, he has logged just one game, totaling 6 carries for 15 yards (2.5 per attempt), one catch and 1.8 fantasy points on a 14 percent snap share, with a -0.291 EPA per play that tells you nothing in so small a sample. Injuries, not ineffectiveness, have kept him off the field, but the result is a near-blank resume entering year three.
The role is the bigger problem: he sits third on Green Bay's depth chart behind workhorse Josh Jacobs and Chris Brooks, leaving no standalone touches while Jacobs stays healthy. The draft capital keeps him interesting as a contingency, and an injury ahead of him would unlock real change-of-pace and passing-down upside given his college receiving chops. For 2026 redraft he is a late-round dart and a high-value handcuff stash; in dynasty he remains a hold, but he must finally prove he can stay available.
