Pierre Strong Jr. carried the ball 11 times for 28 yards and caught five of his six targets for 39 yards in a 23-13 win over the Cowboys in Week 6. Strong led the Green Bay backfield in the win. The veteran has now played two games for the Packers, posting 35 rushing yards while catching eight passes for 50 yards. He is now looking like the running back to roster in Green Bay, at least until Josh Jacobs returns. Strong will face off against the Lions in Week 7
Strong rushed 11 times for 28 yards in Sunday night's 23-13 win over the Cowboys. He caught five of six targets for 39 yards. Strong led the backfield in carries and out-targeted MarShawn Lloyd six to one. The Packers still couldn't run the ball effectively, but Josh Jacobs is due back from the Commissioner's Exempt list in time for next Sunday's game against the Lions, making all three of Strong, Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson waiver-wire material in fantasy moving forward. Strong has turned 16 carries into just 35 yards through two games, but he's secured eight of 10 targets for 50 yards

Green Bay Packers running back Pierre Strong Jr. played 41% of the offensive snaps in his first game of the season against Chicago, but the production was limited. Strong rushed five times for seven yards and caught three of four targets for 11 yards. MarShawn Lloyd remained the lead option, handling 10 carries and scoring two touchdowns. Chris Brooks (ankle) is on injured reserve, which has opened additional snaps in the backfield. Josh Jacobs is eligible to return in Week 7, so Strong's current role may last only one more game. Dallas has allowed an NFL-high 168.4 rushing yards per game, giving Green Bay a favorable matchup Sunday night. Strong's involvement in the passing game offers some value, but his limited workload and production make him difficult to trust. RotoBaller ranks Strong RB45 for Week 6, leaving him as a deep-league Flex option
Josh Jacobs expected to be removed from Commissioner's Exempt List on Monday, potentially clearing way for Week 7 return

Strong took the field for 24 of the Packers' 59 offensive snaps in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Bears, finishing with five carries for seven yards and three catches for 11 yards on four targets. Signed off the practice squad Thursday, Strong made his Packers debut three days later and ended up settling in as the No. 2 option in the backfield behind MarShawn Lloyd, who played just two more snaps but handily out-produced him (10-31-2 rushing line, one catch for six yards). Meanwhile, after committing a costly goal-line fumble in the Week 4 win over the Buccaneers, Kaleb Johnson logged just nine snaps and gained 26 yards on his seven carries. As the more capable option on passing downs, Strong looks like he could continue to work ahead of Johnson while Chris Brooks (ankle) is on injured reserve
MarShawn Lloyd is a priority waiver-wire target in Week 6 due to increased opportunity and goal-line chances
