Who Should I Start? MarShawn Lloyd or Dylan Sampson

The Green Bay Packers sent running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) "out west" to get his body right, according to head coach Matt LaFleur, and the results have been promising. "We'll see," LaFleur said. The Packers said at the end of October that the 24-year-old was not close to returning to practice. It remains to be seen if the second-year RB will be able to get back on the field, but so far, he has spent the entire 2025 season on Injured Reserve due to a hamstring injury. The Packers had high hopes for Lloyd when they drafted him, but he has only played in one game so far in his NFL career. Josh Jacobs is the clear bell-cow back in Green Bay's backfield, with Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks backing him up. If Lloyd does finally make his way back in the second half of the season, there's no guarantee he'll rise above the RB4 for the Packers.

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson lost four yards on his two carries while catching his lone target for a three-yard gain in a 27-20 loss to the New York Jets in Week 10. Sampson worked well behind starter Quinshon Judkins, who handled 22 carries while catching two passes in the close loss. This comes just two weeks after Sampson showed a flash of fantasy relevance by catching five passes for 29 yards. Sampson remains a solid stash in deeper dynasty leagues but he doesn't hold much value in redraft formats as he would likely have to split work with Jerome Ford if Judkins were forced to miss time at any point this season. Sampson will take on the Baltimore Ravens at home in Week 11.
