Brandon Lloyd (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday Night Football versus the Texans. Lloyd is in no danger of missing the game. Being listed on the injury report has become a weekly occurrence. He'll likely see a lot of Houston's Johnathan Joseph and checks in as Rotoworld's No. 44 receiver for Week 14.

Brandon Lloyd (knee) remained limited in Friday's practice. Lloyd will be "questionable" on Saturday's injury report, but it's his role, not his health, that's in question. Even with Julian Edelman out for the season, Lloyd will be a dicey WR3 against the Texans on Monday Night Football.

Brandon Lloyd (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice. As he has been for seemingly months. Lloyd will be healthy for Monday Night Football, the question is whether he'll be a meaningful part of the game-plan coming off his Week 13 dud. He's the No. 45 receiver in Rotoworld's Week 14 ranks.

The Boston Globe expects Brandon Lloyd to "be in the mix a little more" now that Julian Edelman is on injured reserve. After reviewing Lloyd's 1/10/0 line on one target from Week 13, the Globe surmised that he simply wasn't part of the gameplan. The Patriots had no interest in throwing at top Dolphins corner Sean Smith and Tom Brady was under pressure all day, leading to lots of short throws. Now that the Patriots are without both Edelman and Rob Gronkowski, Lloyd would theoretically run some more of those short routes. Still, we'd make the Pats put this into practice before trusting him in a game. Lloyd hasn't topped 45 yards since Week 6.

Brandon Lloyd (thigh) is questionable for Week 13 after getting in another limited practice on Friday. Lloyd is only "questionable" inside Bill Belichick's head. We know he's fine for Week 13, but the question remains his usage. Lloyd is averaging just four catches for 38.6 yards since New England's Week 9 bye. He's a shaky WR3.

Brandon Lloyd (thigh) remained limited in Thursday's practice. Maybe he rolled out early to catch a movie. Lloyd will be ready for Sunday's showdown with the Dolphins, but he won't be more than a low-end WR3 as his role in the Patriots offense remains up in the air.

Brandon Lloyd (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Par for the course for Lloyd on Wednesdays this season. He'll play on Sunday, but we're not crazy about his fantasy prospects. Despite seeing 87 targets this year, Lloyd has just 49 catches for 551 yards and three scores. At this point, he's barely a WR3 option.

Brandon Lloyd played 62-of-68 snaps (91 percent) against the Jets in Week 12. Even before Julian Edelman exited with a head injury, Lloyd was playing opposite Wes Welker in two-wide sets. Regardless of playing time, Lloyd is on pace for just 800 yards in his first season with the Patriots. He's not a reliable WR3 option.

Brandon Lloyd caught just three passes for 26 yards in Week 12 against the Jets. Lloyd was targeted just five times on the night, but one was an end zone opportunity and the other was a misfire by Tom Brady that could have easily gone for a 71-yard touchdown. Close doesn't count, though, and Lloyd has failed to eclipse the 45-yards receiving mark in six straight games. He's no more than a WR3 at this point and is turning into Deion Branch.

Brandon Lloyd (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 12 after getting in his third straight limited practice on Wednesday. According to the Patriots, Lloyd hasn't gotten in a full practice since Week 7. He'll play Thursday, but the question is whether he'll come off the bench behind Julian Edelman like he did in Week 11. Despite the voluminous summer hype, Lloyd has settled in as a WR3, and not a particularly high-end one at that.
