News: 2 days agoLove completed 22 of 44 passes for 259 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 18-17 win over the Saints. He also rushed nine times for 39 yards and another touchdown.

Spin: Love drove Green Bay back from a 17-point deficit to begin the fourth quarter, making big plays with both his arm and legs. His first touchdown came on a one-yard run, after which Love passed for a successful two-point conversion. On his next series, Love had a 24-yard scramble before connecting with Romeo Doubs for an eight-yard touchdown with just under three minutes remaining. Although he missed a few open throws during the contest and has completed only 53 percent of his passes on the season, Love will nonetheless be riding high after a dramatic victory in his first start at Lambeau Field. Furthermore, he stands of chance of getting playmakers Aaron Jones (hamstring) and Christian Watson (hamstring) back for Week 4's Thursday night visit from the Lions.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: After three seasons sitting and learning behind Aaron Rodgers, Love is finally atop the QB depth chart in Green Bay. The 26th pick of the 2020 draft, Love has attempted only 83 passes in his career, 34 of which came in his lone start (Week 9 in 2021). In fact, we haven't seen him play at a high level since his breakout season at Utah State in 2018. He struggled in his final collegiate campaign (2019), tossing 20 TDs and 17 INTs, and his off-target rate (15.5%) and QBR (51.7) were both worst in the 2020 rookie class. Love is obviously a major unknown and while that comes with some inherent upside, his supporting cast is young and may not be much better than the one Rodgers struggled with in 2022. Love is late-round flier material in deep leagues.
