With Josh Jacobs returning, don't punt on MarShawn Lloyd just yet
- Josh Jacobs returns to practice Monday, but the NFL's investigation remains open with a suspension still looming like a cheesehead-sized guillotine.
- MarShawn Lloyd is the 'leading' rusher for Green Bay with a paltry 112 yards, proving the Packers' ground game is less 'run game' and more 'running joke.'
- The Packers average a pathetic 60.4 rushing yards per game, which is somehow worse than your fantasy team's decision to draft Bijan Robinson in the first round.
- Lloyd gets one last chance to prove he's not just a placeholder, but with 2.7 yards per carry, he's about as threatening as a Wisconsin goodbye.
- Every other Packers back is officially droppable, because holding onto them is just hoarding mediocrity for your bench.
Brief Summary
Josh Jacobs is being paroled from the commissioner's exempt list on Monday, but don't crack open the celebratory cheese curds just yet—the NFL is keeping the investigation alive and a suspension is still on the table. This means Green Bay's backfield remains a fantasy football cesspool of uncertainty, where the only thing more fluid than the committee is the team's offensive line blocking schemes.
Why This Matters
For the millions of fantasy managers who drafted Jacobs in the first round, this news is a glimmer of hope after weeks of watching waiver-wire rejects like MarShawn Lloyd and Pierre Strong stumble through the league's worst rushing attack. Jacobs will reclaim the throne, but with a potential suspension hanging over his head, you're basically trusting a running back who might be benched by the commissioner's office faster than he can find a hole on the O-line. It's a high-risk slot machine, and the house always wins.
