2026 Fantasy Outlook
Often a disconnect between a player's fantasy value and his value to his team skews toward the player having superior fantasy value. The opposite is true of Lloyd. Despite developing the ability to play well against the run and pass as well as excelling as a pass rusher, he has never logged 1,000 defensive snaps while topping 115 total tackles only once in his four-year career. Part of that relative lack of production was likely caused by the presence of Foyesade Oluokun, who has been Jacksonville's top linebacker since joining the team in 2022. Now, Lloyd should have the chance to captain a defense of his own after joining the Panthers on a three-year, $45 million contract this offseason. He should play an every-down role with a realistic chance at career-high tackles. Lloyd's upside is arguably among the highest in the league, with fantasy managers left to balance that against his track record of more modest production. Read Past Outlooks
Lloyd (calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
After missing last Sunday's loss to the Browns, Lloyd appears ready to return to the lineup Sunday night against the Lions. Lloyd was a star in the Panthers' Week 2 win over the Falcons, piling up nine tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sack, and two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Lloyd delivered his third straight campaign of 100-plus tackles last season, as he finished with 113 stops (61 solo), including two sacks, one interception and one forced fumble in 16 games. Jacksonville turned down his fifth-year option for 2026 during the offseason, so Lloyd is now entering a contract year. He'll once again have some IDP upside in 2025, though Lloyd and Foyesade Oluokun could vulture each other's tackle totals a bit.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Regression candidate
Ben Solak of ESPN.com believes Lloyd's career-best 2025 season was a blip, and Solak expects Lloyd to regress in 2026.
ANALYSIS
Lloyd set career highs with 10 quarterback hits and five interceptions in 2025 under Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile, who lined Lloyd up at the line of scrimmage 16.4 percent of the time and allowed the linebacker to focus on playing fast in a narrower role. Lloyd will be expected to handle more duties as a three-down, off-ball linebacker after signing a three-year, $45 million contract with the Panthers, who don't boast as much talent around Lloyd at linebacker as Jacksonville did. Solak believes Lloyd's deal will join the growing list of recent big linebacker contracts that have aged poorly.
