MarShawn Lloyd or Tyrone Tracy Jr.: Who Should You Start?

Lloyd's the better flex dart despite a shakier script for Green Bay

Neither back is a confident start, but Lloyd's the one worth stashing this week. His edge isn't about game script — Green Bay's implied total actually trails New York's — it's that Tracy's early-down, run-first role caps his PPR ceiling when he can't lean on catches. Tracy's heavy snap count means little if the staff keeps him almost entirely on the ground against Dallas, which is exactly why he projects well below his consensus rank. Lloyd carries some risk too if Green Bay leans run-committee in a close game, but he still clears Tracy's floor.

What flips it: An uptick in Tracy's receiving-down role or a committee downgrade for Lloyd in Green Bay's backfield.

Why MarShawn Lloyd

Toss-Up

Toss-up — RB51 by consensus and projection: 5.0 PPR projected vs MIN.

Lloyd's floor doesn't depend on volume from a blowout script — he can produce in a tight game too.
No injury cloud here, which matters when the alternative is a back whose role is still evolving in the passing game.

Why Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Sit

Lead/early-down RB. Decisive zone runner with developing receiving-down usage.

Sit — RB51 consensus, projects RB69 this week: 11% target share in 2025, 2.4 PPR projected vs DAL.

96% snap share sounds like bell-cow usage, but an 11% target share means almost none of it comes through the air.
Vs. Dallas, his early-down, zone-rushing profile projects for a real step down from his season-long RB51 tag.
