Lloyd had a good game regardless, catching six passes for 80 yards in the loss. He has 34 receptions for 401 yards and a touchdown through six games played this season.
Fantasy Impact: Don’t be surprised to see Lloyd’s name on the Pats’ injury report in the coming days. Bill Belichick will mark a player questionable at a mere sniffle. The fact that Lloyd spoke openly about the ailment is a good sign for his availability, as is the fact that he was able to return to the game Sunday.
Lloyd remains a decent WR2/Flex option in standard fantasy leagues. He hasn’t hauled in the truckload of touchdowns some predicted before the season, but he remains a consistently-targeted weapon in a prolific passing attack.
