Josh Jacobs

I remember the play like it was yesterday, Jacobs told Yahoo Sports. Here's what was so memorable about it and what kind of role Jacobs hopes to carve out alongside Love.

"He's in great shape. I think he's in a great place mentally," LaFleur said on the first day of Green Bay training camp. The Packers re-signed Dillon in March after yet another disappointing season in which the big back was among the NFL's least efficient rushers. Dillon barely cracked 600 rushing yards even with Aaron Jones missing chunks of the regular season in 2023. Josh Jacobs and rookie MarShawn Lloyd would have to miss time if Dillon is to see a starter's workload in the Packers offense this season.

Packers coaches have spoken glowingly of Lloyd during spring practices and expect him to be involved in the team's backfield rotation alongside Josh Jacobs, who signed with Green Bay this offseason. Assuming Lloyd's hip issue is not of the long-term variety, he should function as the team's RB2 and could be the lead back if Jacobs were to miss time in 2024. AJ Dillon will also factor into the Green Bay backfield if Jacobs misses time. Rotoworld's Denny Carter recently wrote about the Packers backfield distribution.

The Packers selected Lloyd with the no. 88 overall pick in this year's draft. In a Packers mailbag article, Schneidman notes that Lloyd "won't be the starter, per se," but added that he won't ride the bench like we saw AJ Dillon do in his rookie season. Lynch brings a versatile skillset to the Packers' offense, similar to what we saw from Aaron Jones and what we expect to see from Josh Jacobs. Schneidman also highlighted Lloyd's shiftiness and explosiveness in traffic. Lloyd will likely open the season as the Packers' RB2 with a chance to spell Jacobs on third downs. He's a solid stash late in redraft leagues and has some contingent top-24 PPR upside if Jacobs were ever to miss time.
