</td></tr><tr><td class="bodyCopy">After watching several offseason practices, the Boston Globe's Greg Bedard believes "the sky's the limit" for Brandon Lloyd in the Patriots offense.</td></tr><tr><td>

</td></tr><tr><td class="vaLink">Lloyd's ridiculous body control has been on display in red-zone drills. Although we were initially hesitant to rank Lloyd among the top-20 fantasy receivers this year due to the Pats' plethora of passing-game options, Rotoworld now has visions of a Randy Moss-like impact down the field. Lloyd may struggle to bypass 65-70 receptions, but double-digit scores and 1,000+ yards are reasonable expectations.

</td></tr><tr><td class="bodyCopy">Brandon Lloyd was "dynamite" throughout the offseason program, according to the Boston Herald.</td></tr><tr><td>

</td></tr><tr><td class="vaLink">Back in 2010 with the Broncos, Lloyd went off for 1,448 yards and 11 touchdowns with Kyle Orton and Tim Tebow as his quarterback. Josh McDaniels was the head coach of that team and he's the offensive coordinator for the Patriots now. Lloyd has predictably had no trouble fitting in with the Pats and is an absolute steal at his current fifth-round ADP.

</td></tr><tr><td class="bodyCopy">According to ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss, Brandon Lloyd looks like he's been playing with Tom Brady "for decades."</td></tr><tr><td>

</td></tr><tr><td class="vaLink">As much as Chad Ochocinco struggled to learn the playbook and earn Brady's trust last year, Lloyd "has been at the opposite end of the spectrum this year." Lloyd isn't going to match Randy Moss' record-breaking 23 touchdowns from the magical 2007 season, but he's going to play an eerily similar role. We wouldn't be surprised in the least if Brady exceeds his own record-breaking numbers from 2007.

Per ESPN Boston, Lloyd has been a "dynamic perimeter receiver" and "could be a massive part" of the passing game this season. We'd expect nothing less with Josh McDaniels calling the plays. The last time Lloyd and McDaniels were together for a full season (Denver, 2010), he racked up a career-high 1,448 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns with Kyle Orton and Tim Tebow as his quarterbacks. Now he's catching passes from Tom Brady.

</td></tr><tr><td class="vaLink">That's two straight limited sessions for New England's No. 1 receiver, but there's been nothing to suggest the Pats are doing anything other than managing his reps. We fully expect Lloyd to play and be near 100 percent against the Ravens. He's Rotoworld's No. 18 receiver for Week 3.

</td></tr><tr><td class="vaLink">Nothing new has changed in Lloyd's development over the week after being a limited participant in practice. Beat writers close to the Patriots expect Lloyd to suit up and play, but with Baltimore and New England set to kick off tonight, fantasy owners need to have their ducks in a row in the event that the receiver misses. Keep checking back throughout the day for updates.

<table border="0" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td class="bodyCopy">Brandon Lloyd (thigh, questionable) is listed as a projected starter in the Boston Globe's blog post previewing Sunday night's Patriots-Ravens game.</td></tr><tr><td>

</td></tr><tr><td class="vaLink">Though there's been little hard news on Lloyd's injury and playing status, the expectation in New England is that he'll play against the Ravens. We just won't know for sure until tonight. Lloyd owners would probably be wise to grab Julian Edelman or Jacoby Jones in the event he's a surprise scratch, though.

</td></tr><tr><td class="vaLink">It's full steam ahead for Lloyd, who saw double-digit targets for the second straight game on Sunday. Lloyd topped 100 yards receiving for the first time as a Patriot in Week 3, but still has not had a true breakout game. We suspect it's coming sooner rather than later.
