Green Bay Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd ran the ball 11 times for 37 yards versus the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1. He was targeted once as a receiver but did not have a catch.
Why It Matters: Seeing extended action for the first time in his career, Lloyd was mostly ineffective. He had a 12-yard run to open the second half, but his other 12 carries covered just 24 yards. He also ceded a lot of snaps to Chris Brooks, who is more reliable in pass protection. Until the Josh Jacobs saga has a resolution, Lloyd should function as the de facto lead back, but after authoring a dud in Week 1, he should only be utilized as a flex play for Green Bay's Week 2 matchup with the Jets.
