MarShawn Lloyd News
Thursday, August 6, 8:12 AM
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that the team continues to be cautious with running back MarShawn Lloyd because of his injury history, but LaFleur is encouraged by what a healthy Lloyd has shown so far in training camp. "He's flashed the ability. Certainly, he's an explosive dude who can make some big, explosive plays," LaFleur said. The Packers are gradually ramping up the 25-year-old former third-rounder from USC, who has played in just one game with Green Bay since being drafted in 2024. With Chris Brooks (undisclosed) starting training camp on the Non-Football Injury list and Emanuel Wilson out of town, Lloyd has a clear path to be the unquestioned RB2 behind starter Josh Jacobs in 2026 as long as he can finally stay healthy. There's plenty of upside still for Lloyd, who is quick and big, but his durability issues will likely put him off the fantasy radar in most 12-team leagues. If anything were to happen to Jacobs, Lloyd would become a must-roster RB in all leagues.

Tyler Allgeier News
Sunday, August 2, 10:12 AM
Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier sits atop the team's first unofficial depth chart, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. The listing lines up with early camp practices, where Allgeier has often worked ahead of rookie Jeremiyah Love. Arizona signed the former Atlanta Falcon to a two-year, $12.25 million contract in March, then selected Love third overall in April. Allgeier rushed 143 times for 514 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns last season, and he has averaged 4.3 yards per carry across four NFL seasons. The Cardinals also have James Conner and Trey Benson in a deep backfield, so the RB1 label does not guarantee Allgeier will lead the group in touches once the season begins. Still, the early placement suggests he has a real chance to open the year with a meaningful role while Love gets up to speed. Allgeier's limited receiving history could make his fantasy production dependent on carries and goal-line opportunities, but he remains firmly involved in Arizona's plans.
