Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams carried the ball 18 times for 97 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 2 contest against the New York Giants. He also converted seven targets into six receptions for 33 yards through the air. The veteran running back not only earned significant volume in the overtime victory, but he also showed that he can stay fresh and productive for an entire game. In fact, he has now strung together two impressive games in a row, scoring at least 20 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his contests so far. He's a very solid RB2 option heading into a Week 3 clash with the Chicago Bears, who were just destroyed by the Detroit Lions.

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) remains on Injured Reserve but is eligible to return in Week 6 against a vulnerable Bengals defense. The Packers' backfield has leaned heavily on Josh Jacobs, who has accounted for 42 of the team's 55 rushing attempts through two games. That kind of workload will be difficult to sustain, and the lack of usage for reserves Chris Brooks and Emanuel Wilson--each with just one carry--suggests the coaching staff isn't comfortable leaning on them in meaningful situations. Lloyd's eventual return could provide Green Bay with a much-needed spark, as his speed and big-play ability were evident during the preseason. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should monitor Lloyd's progress, as he could quickly carve out a change-of-pace role and potentially spell Jacobs to keep him fresh.
Still trying to decide between Williams and Lloyd? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Javonte Williams is projected to score 6.3 points this week while MarShawn Lloyd is projected to score 0.0 points.
