It may not seem like a big deal that MarShawn Lloyd is back from injury after USC’s 2024 NFL Draft third-rounder played one game and totaled 15 yards.
But it’s in fantasy football, and I’ll tell you why.
First of all, the Green Bay Packers have one of the best remaining schedules for running backs in the NFL. And yes, while this means good things for Josh Jacobs, I wonder if the Packers will try to lighten the veteran’s load after the bye so he can be fresher for the playoffs. Emanuel Wilson recently found work behind Jacobs.
Jacobs praised Lloyd lately, which should also tell you something. What if Jacobs gets injured? Well, Lloyd could end up with a lot more workload than if Jacobs was on the field. It’s that time of year to hide guys like that.
So.
