MarShawn Lloyd's fantasy value rises as Josh Jacobs enters Exempt List

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd has seen a significant increase in fantasy football value following the placement of Josh Jacobs on the NFL Commissioner’s Exempt List.

Jacobs was placed on the list after being charged by police in connection with an incident involving his girlfriend. The move prevents him from practicing or playing in any NFL games for the foreseeable future. While the exact duration of the absence remains unclear, the situation has shifted the projected workload within the Packers' backfield.

As a result, Lloyd is projected to serve as the primary running back for the team heading into Week 1. Despite limited previous NFL playing time, Lloyd’s performance during training camp suggests he is positioned to take on a lead role in the offense.
