Justice Hill or MarShawn Lloyd: Who Should You Start?
2026 Week 1 · deterministic head-to-head · Verdicts based on PPR scoring.
Hill's third-down role gives him a floor Lloyd can't match this week
Neither of these backs is a real fantasy asset this week, but Hill's role gives him a path to points that Lloyd's doesn't. Hill is the designated pass-catcher in a Baltimore offense expected to score comfortably, and that kind of game script tends to keep the passing-down back on the field even in clock-killing situations. Lloyd, by contrast, is buried on Green Bay's depth chart with no defined role and a lower team total working against him. This isn't a confident start for either player, but if you need a body, Hill's guaranteed touches on third down beat hoping Lloyd stumbles into volume.
What flips it: A camp report or beat note naming Lloyd as the early-down starter over Green Bay's other backs.

Justice Hill
4.45.66.8 Projected Points

MarShawn Lloyd
4.14.65.0 Projected Points
Why Justice Hill
Toss-UpChange-of-pace and third-down RB. Pass-catching back with quickness, complementary to the lead back.
Toss-up — RB50 consensus, projects RB45 this week: 26.5 implied team total, 11% target share in 2025.
- Third-down role means he's tied to passing situations, which stay live even in a lead.
- Baltimore's plus implied total gives garbage-time and clock-killing touches more value than raw efficiency suggests.
Why MarShawn Lloyd
Toss-UpToss-up — RB51 by consensus and projection: 5.0 PPR projected vs MIN.
- Better spread cushion than it looks isn't the issue — it's touches, and he has no defined role behind Green Bay's lead back.
- If Green Bay leans run-heavy to protect a lead, any early-down snaps could still produce empty stat lines without target work.
