Cleveland Browns running back D'Onta Foreman has been tough to predict through three games. The veteran saw just one snap in Week 1 then led the Cleveland backfield with 14 carries in Week 2. In Week 3 he was back to being an afterthought with just two carries in a loss to the New York Giants. Foreman will look for a larger share of the workload in a road matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4. The Raiders have been a great matchup for running backs this season, allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the position through three games. The unpredictable nature of Foreman's workload on a weekly basis leaves him as a low-end flex option who has a very high risk of busting. He's best left on fantasy benches in Week 4.

The Green Bay Packers placed rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and signed running back Chris Brooks to the active 53-man roster from the practice squad in a corresponding move. Lloyd has quickly developed an injury-prone reputation early in his rookie season after missing most of training camp and the preseason with injuries as well. The 23-year-old will now miss at least the next four games with an ankle injury he suffered in the Week 2 win over the Indianapolis Colts. The explosive third-rounder was the clear front-runner for RB2 duties over Emanuel Wilson with AJ Dillon (neck) out for the year. But now that Lloyd is going to miss more time, Wilson is worth a waiver-wire pickup for RB depth, especially if you also have starter Josh Jacobs rostered. Lloyd was inactive in the season opener but had six carries for 15 yards and caught one pass for three yards in Week 2.
