Marshawn Lloyd is highlighted as a versatile piece in Green Bay’s backfield, providing balance behind a crowded WR group. His role could grow as the Packers manage injuries, offering a potential spark in the run game and as a receiving option in spread looks, especially if Washington pressures the edge with frontline depth.

Lloyd is highlighted as a stash with upside in Green Bay if injuries persist; the conversation weighs Lloyd’s ceiling against incumbent workloads and the Packers’ use of secondary backs in a committee, making his stash value contingent on the trade/IR timeline.

Lloyd’s ankle history with Green Bay is cited as context for Mixon’s timetable; his absence underscores backfield risk in Green Bay and the broader injury talk around Mixon.

Lloyd’s latest injury setback stacked atop a rookie-season absence keeps him off fantasy radars. His already injury-prone profile clashes with the need for Week 1 fantasy relevance, making him a risky, low-probability target for speculative rosters.

Lloyd’s hamstring is likely to sideline him for the opener, complicating Green Bay’s Week 1 plans. His injury history—hip, hamstring, appendectomy, and a prior illness—has created a pattern of setbacks that could delay his path to a stable backup role behind Jacobs. The Packers and coaches remain hopeful for a timely return but must navigate the early-season depth question at running back.
