Bottom line: Do not draft MarShawn Lloyd in redraft; only consider as a desperate dynasty flier or IR stash if you have space. Expect minimal Week 1 relevance and a low floor in 2025.

Concise notes

- 2025 role and outlook
  - primary: RB2 on a run-heavy backfield, but path to meaningful touches is blocked by Josh Jacobs (and competition from Emmanuel Wilson/Chris Brooks).
  - Week 1 and early weeks: very unlikely to contribute due to groin/hamstring injury history.
  - Compensation: even if healthy midseason, workload is uncertain; Packers/GB backfield loves a committee, not a clear lead.

- Injury and health sentiment
  - Chronic injury history (hamstring, groin issues) flagged as a major red flag.
  - Training camp reports: non-contact groin issue; Jacobs and camp notes imply uncertainty about his availability.
  - FF Hound consensus: undraftable due to injury risk; Week 1 absence likely.

- Competitiveness and backing group
  - Behind Jacobs, Lloyd competes with Emmanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks for the backup role; Wilson showed solid per-carry metrics but limited pass game involvement.
  - Lloyd’s pass-catching and overall explosiveness are less proven; injury risk compounds uncertainty.

- Draft strategy implications
  - Redraft: avoid Lloyd entirely; target higher-floor backups or handcuffs with clearer roles.
  - Dynasty: only stash if you have IR/movable roster space and a long-term view; expect IR situations to be common.
  - If you’re targeting late-round contingent backs, prioritize D.J. Giddens (handcuff to Taylor) over Lloyd.

- Waiver/watch list considerations
  - If Jacobs misses time, Wilson (or Brooks) would be the preferred immediate pickups over Lloyd.
  - Lloyd remains a low-probability, high-risk option even in a Jacobs-injured scenario.

- Sentiment snapshot
  - Predominant view across posts: Lloyd is a risky, unreliable fantasy asset due to injury history; a few still see upside in a deep bench or dynamic offense, but the probability of meaningful 2025 fantasy production is small.

- Actionable takeaway
  - Do not roster Lloyd in redraft leagues; consider him only as a speculative dynasty stash if you’re comfortable rotting away a bench spot.
  - Monitor camp updates and Jacobs’ workload, but do not expect Lloyd to become a reliable weekly contributor in 2025.
