What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks MarShawn Lloyd (GB RB), our RB59 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs CAR, projecting 2.9 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 8.1 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. He grades 74% below the average weekly RB number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. CAR is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks MarShawn Lloyd (GB RB), our RB59 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs CAR, projecting 2.9 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 8.1 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. He's being dropped at a 2.9% clip, and I don't think the market is wrong about it. 7% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. The projection sits about 74% under what a startable RB returns, so I honestly can't pretend the price tag matches the output. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
