Marshawn Lloyd injures hamstring; Dillon pole position for RB2
1 month ago

Marshawn Lloyd will miss time with hamstring injury.

Rookie 3rd round selection for the Green Bay Packers running back Marshawn Lloyd was injured during the preseason contest on Saturday with the the Cleveland Browns. Lloyd has earned the praise of his teammates and coaching staff for his shifty and explosive running style, but will now be sidelined as he nurses his injury.  Lloyd recorded 1 catch for 1 yard and 1 carry for 8 yards prior to injury.

 

Lloyd was figured by many fantasy managers to push unspectacular veteran A.J. Dillon for snaps in the backfield behind starter Josh Jacobs.  With this news, he will likely be pushed further down draft boards.  Lloyd is currently going at pick 144 at the end of the 12th round.  He may be a popular last round pick in redraft, and he will likely be falling further from his rb45 price tag in bestball drafts.
