MarShawn Lloyd News
Monday, June 15, 8:50 AM
Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd has largely been a disappointment since being taken in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Thanks to myriad injury issues, Lloyd has appeared in just one game and logged six career carries over his first two professional seasons. However, the 25-year-old enters 2026 with a legitimate chance to carve out a significant role in the Packers' backfield. Former Packers RB2 Emanuel Wilson departed the team in free agency, leaving Lloyd in a battle for the RB2 role with similarly unproven Green Bay running back Chris Brooks. Additionally, star Packers running back Josh Jacobs ran into some legal issues this offseason, which could result in him facing discipline from the league. Lloyd appears to be fully healthy entering the summer. With a strong showing at training camp and the preseason, he could emerge as a key piece in Green Bay. Dynasty managers should be looking to buy low on Lloyd in leagues where his value has not already skyrocketed.

Jaylen Wright News
Thursday, June 4, 12:46 PM
Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik said running back Jaylen Wright is showing a greater comfort level this season and "has some speed," per David Furones of the Sun Sentinel. Wright missed time early in the 2025 season with a knee injury, but finished the year with 332 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 75 touches across 10 games. As long as star Dolphins running back De'Von Achane remains healthy, it will be difficult for Wright to earn enough touches to provide fantasy-relevant production. However, Wright may be on his way to firmly seizing the RB2 role in Miami away from fellow Dolphins back Ollie Gordon II. If Wright emerges as the clear backup to Achane, he would profile as one of the better handcuff running back options for fantasy managers entering 2026.
