Can MarShawn Lloyd Emerge as a Top Dynasty Handcuff Option?
Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd has had a tough time getting his career off the ground since being drafted in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Thanks to myriad injury issues, Lloyd has been active for just one game over the past two seasons and has six career NFL carries. Heading into 2026, veteran back Josh Jacobs remains firmly atop the Packers' running back depth chart. However, the team lost top backup Emanuel Wilson to the Seattle Seahawks over the offseason and did not make any notable additions to the backfield in free agency or the draft. As a result, Lloyd appears to be competing with similarly unproven backs in Chris Brooks and Pierre Strong Jr. for the RB2 role in Green Bay. While Jacobs should dominate backfield snaps for the Packers, he's racked up nearly 650 touches over the past two seasons and has a fair bit of mileage on his legs as he enters his age-28 campaign. Should Lloyd win the backup job in Green Bay, he would immediately become one of the higher-end handcuff options in fantasy football. Despite his underwhelming NFL career to this point, Lloyd could be a solid buy-low target for fantasy managers heading into 2026.
