Is MarShawn Lloyd a Dynasty Buy-Low Candidate Following NFL Draft?

Tuesday, April 28, 8:27 AM

A third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd has not factored at all in his team's offense. Thanks to myriad injury issues, Lloyd has played in just one game and owns six career carries across his first two NFL seasons. Heading into 2026, star running back Josh Jacobs remains firmly atop Green Bay's running back depth chart. However, the Packers lost 2025 RB2 Emanuel Wilson in free agency, and the team did not add a running back with any of its 2026 draft picks. As a result, Lloyd figures to enter training camp in a battle with Chris Brooks and Pierre Strong Jr. for the backup running back role in Green Bay. Lloyd's injury history and his complete lack of NFL production to this point are both major red flags. Still, in deep dynasty leagues, Lloyd may be worth taking a chance on just in case he wins the Packers RB2 job and emerges as a priority handcuff running back.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Can Maintain Fantasy Relevance When Teammate Returns

Monday, May 4, 7:48 AM

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. may fall back into the No. 2 role on the depth chart this season, but that won't necessarily prevent him from remaining a relevant option in fantasy football. All signs point to Cam Skattebo (ankle) reclaiming the lead-back role by Week 1, but Tracy's strong second half of the 2025 season should be enough to earn him a healthy share of touches behind Skattebo in 2026. That's especially true as we see more NFL teams shift to a shared backfield dynamic with two impactful ball-carries. Tracy was the overall RB12 in half-PPR leagues from Week 11-18 last year, so even if he handles ~40% of the snaps and volume in New York, he should still offer value as a weekly RB3/flex option. Plus, with Skattebo coming off an injury, rostering his handcuff is certainly not a bad idea. This Giants offense is trending up with Jaxson Dart leading the way, and Tracy stands to benefit as a result.
