News: 4 days agoLove completed 13 of 23 pass attempts for 163 yards and two touchdowns while rushing once for two yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over San Francisco.

Spin: Love wasn't needed much in Sunday's victory against an opponent starting its backup quarterback, attempting his third-fewest pass attempts this season. The 26-year-old threw for multiple touchdowns for the first time since Week 7, confirming his improved health following a stretch during which he likely wasn't playing at full strength. Love will stay in Green Bay on a short week to host the Dolphins this Thursday on Thanksgiving.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Love returns as Green Bay's quarterback after leading the Packers to the playoffs as a first-year starter in 2023. While expectations were low considering his limited NFL action and young supporting cast, Love proved doubters wrong by finishing as fantasy's QB7. That includes six top-10 finishes in his final eight games. Love was eighth or better in passing yards, attempts, completions and aDOT, while also finishing second in passing touchdowns and posting a 3-to-1 TD/INT ratio. Love could use his legs a little more, but with his success in 2023 and all of his exciting, young pass-catchers returning, Love should be viewed as a fringe QB1 in 2024.
