News: 5 days agoLove completed 23 of 29 passes for 372 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed once for a 13-yard score in the Packers' 45-27 win over the Patriots on Sunday. He also ran in a two-point conversion.

Spin: Love continued to attack downfield with great efficacy in the significant road upset for the Packers. Love averaged 12.8 yards per attempt while amassing his second-highest passing yardage total of the season, a figure bested only by the 387-yard tally he managed in Week 1. Love generated his second straight three-touchdown day through the air as well, connecting with Matthew Golden (five yards), Savion Williams (10 yards) and Christian Watson (39 yards) for his trio of scoring strikes and kicking off the scoring on the day with a 13-yard rush just 1:41 into the contest. Love is up to 2,618 passing yards with a 19:6 TD:INT and a pair of rushing scores heading into a Week 10 home divisional clash against the Vikings next Sunday.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Love is back for his fourth season as the Packers' starting quarterback. The 2020 first-round pick has emerged as one of the league's best passers (he has finished ninth, fifth and third in QBR during his three seasons as a starter), but that hasn't converted to much fantasy production as of late. After finishing sixth in fantasy points per game in 2023, Love has finished 17th and 21st the past two seasons. A dramatic dip in both passing (19th in pass attempts both years) and rushing (282 yards and one TD total during the two seasons) has been the culprit. Love, who produced just five weekly finishes better than 16th last season, has a limited ceiling in Matt LaFleur's scheme. He's best valued as a back-end QB2.
