Marshawn Lloyd Eyeing Week 6 Return From Injured Reserve

Wednesday, September 17, 2:48 PM

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.

Jaylen Wright a Healthy Scratch for Week 5 Against Carolina

Sunday, October 5, 12:29 PM

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Carolina Panthers. Wright remains the odd man out of Miami's backfield rotation as he hasn't registered a rushing attempt so far this season. He remains off the fantasy radar pending an injury to one of Miami's other running backs. Going forward, De'Von Achane will remain Miami's No. 1 running back while Ollie Gordon II backs him up.
