George Holani News
Monday, October 5, 6:28 AM
Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani had an opening to make himself more relevant in Week 4, but very little came of it. With Jadarian Price on injured reserve, Holani finished Sunday's 30-23 win over the Chargers with seven carries for 18 yards and one catch for two yards. Emanuel Wilson took much better advantage of the available work, handling 21 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown while adding three catches for 39 yards and another score. That is a rough development for Holani after he showed some passing-game usefulness with five receptions for 48 yards in Week 3. Seattle was short-handed in the backfield and still treated him as a clear secondary option. Zach Charbonnet is eligible to return from the PUP list in Week 5, which could squeeze the available touches even further. Holani remains useful depth for Seattle, but his fantasy value took a hit after failing to capitalize on one of his better opportunities for increased work.

MarShawn Lloyd News
Monday, October 5, 8:43 PM
Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd got off to a relatively slow start this season, but he seems to have turned the corner after the first four weeks. Lloyd is coming off his highest-volume game this year, as he played 55% of the snaps and logged 12 touches (including five catches) in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His rushing numbers were quite poor, averaging just 1.9 yards per carry. However, he was much more valuable as a receiver, turning his five targets into five receptions for 36 receiving yards. The Packers have been looking for someone to separate themselves from the rest of the backfield ever since Josh Jacobs was placed on the commissioner's exempt list, and it seems like they have finally found their new lead running back, even if he looked better as a receiver than a ball-carrier. Lloyd is still a very solid waiver wire target, especially since he has RB3/flex appeal from now until Jacobs' return. He has managed to rank as the overall RB36 in PPR scoring this fall and can be a low-end fantasy starter for Week 5 against Chicago.
