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.

Kimani Vidal News
Sunday, June 14, 5:12 AM
Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal has become one of the more unheralded insurance backs in dynasty. With the Chargers' signing of former Raven Keaton Mitchell in free agency, the fourth-year undrafted runner out of East Carolina was quick to earn sleeper status in Mike McDaniel's speed and spacing-based offense, but in a true emergency situation, it is Vidal who is more likely to take on something closer to an every-down role should presumed starter Omarion Hampton miss extended time with injury. As a rookie in 2025, Hampton missed eight games with a fractured ankle, and with veteran Najee Harris already lost for the year by that point with a torn Achilles, it was the 2024 sixth-round pick Vidal who led the Chargers in rushing attempts and yards, turning in four top-10 fantasy finishes in his 10 starts. In what appears to be a vastly improved offense heading into 2026, the 24-year-old Vidal remains a must-roster handcuff with legitimate week-winning potential as an injury fill-in.
