Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Eight carries in victory
MarShawn Lloyd rushed eight times for 10 yards while failing to catch his only target during Sunday night's 23-13 win over Dallas.Lloyd was rather inefficient in Week 6, averaging 1.3 yards per carry while logging three fewer carries than fellow running back Pierre Strong (11). Lloyd was briefly sidelined by an undisclosed injury during the contest, but his ability to finish the game would suggest that whatever he was dealing with is minor. With Josh Jacobs (personal) expected to be removed from the Commissioner's Exempt List on Monday, Lloyd will likely transition into a complementary role behind Jacobs in the backfield moving forward.

Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Scores twice in dominant win
MarShawn Lloyd rushed 10 times for 31 yards and two touchdowns while catching one of two targets for six yards during Sunday's 31-7 win over the Bears.Lloyd was able to open the second quarter with a 10-yard touchdown run before later adding a four-yard score in the fourth quarter. The running back's 10 carries were his most since logging 13 rushes for 37 yards in Week 1 versus Minnesota. Lloyd has now compiled 112 rushing yards on 40 carries and two touchdowns while reeling in 10 of 13 targets for 55 yards and a score over five games to open the 2026 season while operating as Green Bay's primary option in the backfield with Josh Jacobs (personal) on the Commissioner's Exempt List.

Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Contributes more as receiver in win
MarShawn Lloyd rushed seven times for 13 yards and brought in all five targets for 36 yards in the Green Bay Packers' 17-14 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.It was more of the same on the ground for Lloyd, who barely eclipsed the season-low 11 rushing yards he produced in Week 3 against the Falcons. However, the third-year back set new career highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets, offering some modest fantasy value on the afternoon. Lloyd's backfield mate Kaleb Johnson led the ground attack with eight carries for 42 yards Sunday, and although Lloyd remains largely ineffective as a runner, he'll likely remain in a relevant role in Week 5 at home against the Bears if the ankle injury that forced Chris Brooks' exit from the contest keeps him sidelined for that divisional contest.

Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Limited to 18 total yards in loss
MarShawn Lloyd rushed four times for 11 yards and brought in two of three targets for seven yards in the Green Bay Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday.The inefficiency reflected in Lloyd's final line underscores the type of season it's been so far for the second-year back, who's tried in vain to serve as a serviceable replacement for Josh Jacobs (personal) while he remains on the Commissioner's Exempt List. Lloyd's rushing opportunities were limited Thursday largely due to game script, but the 2024 third-round pick is averaging just 3.0 yards per carry through three games and has complemented it with an unremarkable 4-13-0 line through the air. Lloyd, Chris Brooks and Kaleb Johnson will continue to share the Packers' backfield workload in a Week 4 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Catches TD in Week 2 win
MarShawn Lloyd rushed six times for 20 yards in the Green Bay Packers' 20-17 overtime win over the Jets on Sunday. He added two catches for six yards and a touchdown on two targets.Lloyd got the start out of the backfield for Green Bay and scored his first career regular-season touchdown with a six-yard catch in the second quarter. That's the good news. The bad news is Lloyd played a total of just 16 offensive snaps and lost a fumble deep in his own territory early in the fourth quarter. He never touched the ball again following the fumble, as Kaleb Johnson took over as the early-down back in overtime, with Chris Brooks remaining the preferred option in passing situations. Lloyd gets a dream matchup with the Falcons on Thursday night, but it's fair to wonder about his role headed into that Week 3 contest.

Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Leading rusher in ineffective RB room
MarShawn Lloyd rushed 13 times for 37 yards and didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings.Lloyd worked ahead of Chris Brooks (seven carries for 29 yards) in a Green Bay Packers backfield that struggled to generate much in the absence of Josh Jacobs (personal), who is on the Commissioner's Exempt List. Jordan Love threw 42 passes compared to 20 combined carries for Lloyd and Brooks, even though Green Bay led for most of the game prior to being outscored 22-0 in the fourth quarter. Lloyd looks poised to handle double-digit touches again in Week 2 against the Jets.

Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Set to work in committee
Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich suggested Tuesday that MarShawn Lloyd could be part of a backfield committee to begin the season while Josh Jacobs (personal) remains on the Commissioner's Exempt List, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. "It's gonna be running back by committee for a little bit to see where everyone is at," Stenavich said. "[Lloyd] definitely has explosive ability, playmaking ability."Though he profiles as the most enticing fantasy option of a backfield group that includes Kaleb Johnson and Chris Brooks, Lloyd doesn't look like he'll be called upon to handle a workhorse role during Jacobs' absence. While Lloyd made it through training camp and the preseason healthy and flashed his upside as both a ball carrier and pass catcher, durability has not been his string suit in the NFL. The 2024 third-round pick been limited to just one career game on account of multiple soft-tissue injuries, in addition to an emergency appendectomy.

Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Now part of reconfigured backfield
With both Josh Jacobs (groin) landing on the Commissioner's Exempt List and Kaleb Johnson being acquired by the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, MarShawn Lloyd now finds himself in a reconfigured Packers backfield.Lloyd has appeared in just one regular-season game since being selected by the Packers in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but with Jacobs out of action for the time being Lloyd is now the top available option on the depth chart. Both Johnson and Chris Brooks -- who excels at pass blocking -- figure to factor into the mix sans Jacobs, but with Johnson just joining the team, Lloyd now finds himself as the favorite to pick up carries.

Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Records receiving TD in win
MarShawn Lloyd rushed six times for 17 yards and secured his only target for an 11-yard touchdown in the Green Bay Packers' 33-13 preseason win over the Broncos on Friday.Josh Jacobs (groin) was not in uniform Friday, paving the way for Lloyd to see meaningful early-game action for the second straight preseason contest. Lloyd found tough sledding on the ground against a talented Denver defense, but he capped off the Packers' opening drive with his 11-yard touchdown reception. Lloyd may have the inside track to the No. 2 running back role despite playing just one regular-season game in his first two seasons, although that may not be official until the Packers' preseason finale next Friday at home against the Cardinals.

Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Gets start in preseason opener
MarShawn Lloyd carried the ball four times for 13 yards in Thursday's 28-9 preseason loss to the Steelers.With Josh Jacobs (groin) sidelined, Lloyd got the start for the Green Bay Packers but saw limited snaps alongside other members of the first unit like QB Jordan Love. Jacobs' status this season is clouded due to off-field issues, and nagging injuries are par for the course with him, so the identity of Green Bay's RB2 holds more importance than usual. Lloyd appears to be getting the first crack at securing the role, but he'll need to prove he can stay on the field -- he's played just one NFL game since being taken in the third round of the 2024 draft.
