Lloyd, the 3rd rounder out of USC (he played for both Southern Cal and South Carolina) brings the dynamic element to the running game that was lost when Aaron Jones departed. He was electric in college, and flashed at the combine with a 4.4 in the 40-yard dash. The biggest obstacle to playing time is a lack of experience in the passing game. Matt LeFleur's concepts are notoriously complex, and Lloyd wasn't asked to participate much as a blocker or receiver in college. He only had 34 receptions in his three-year collegiate career, and tack that on to a penchant for fumbling, and you have the makings of a tricky situation. Lloyd brings a unique speed element to this backfield, but there are lots of roadblocks to playing time. In deep leagues he might be worth a bench stash if he looks good in the preseason and can leap Dillon in camp.

 MarShawn Lloyd goes on injured reserve
Suffered ankle injury in Week 2

FFToday's Take: This is quickly turning into a lost season for Lloyd, who missed most of camp with a hamstring injury before making his NFL debut in Week 2. The rookie will be sidelined for at least four games, which may be enough time for Emanuel Wilson to stake his claim to the backup job for the rest of the season. If not, Chris Brooks has shown enough in limited NFL work to do so. Lloyd's IR stint should further solidify Josh Jacobs as a bellcow runner in Green Bay.
