As the NFL season approaches Week 1, fantasy football analysts are evaluating running back depth charts and streaming options. In the Green Bay Packers backfield, Marshawn Lloyd is expected to assume the primary role following the departure of Josh Jacobs, with analysts suggesting the monitoring of Chris Brooks and Kaleb Johnson as potential backups.

Other notable options for the opening week include Tyler Allgeier of the Arizona Cardinals, who may see increased usage due to a high-ankle sprain affecting Jeremiyah Love, and Chris Rodriguez of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who is highlighted as a potential goal-line option.
