The Green Bay Packers will face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB MarShawn Lloyd.
Is MarShawn Lloyd Playing in Week 12?
MarShawn Lloyd just cannot catch a break. The third-round rookie was hoping to return in Week 11 after missing time with hamstring and ankle injury injuries. However, he woke up with appendicitis last Friday and couldn’t play on Sunday.
On Wednesday, the Green Bay Packers put Lloyd on the non-football injury list. He’ll have to miss at least four games but can return this season.
We’ll continue to monitor the Packers’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
MarShawn Lloyd’s Fantasy Outlook
MarShawn Lloyd was nearing a return from ankle and hamstring issues this time last week after Green Bay opened up his 21-day return window. Yet, in the lead-up to Week 11, Lloyd woke up with appendicitis, an ailment that typically takes upwards of two months to recover from.
I wouldn’t forget his name in 2025, but with Josh Jacobs not set to become an unrestricted free agent until 2028, we’re looking at a handcuff RB at best with no NFL game experience.
In regards to this season, the Packers are in discussions with the league as to how to label their rookie back in terms of roster designations. That doesn’t matter to you, though. Lloyd is safe to cut in all formats, even if you’ve been stashing him in your IR slot (you can do better).
