JoeA spitting the truth about Jordan Love. His efficiency profile is being propped up by Green Bay’s offensive structure, not because he is consistently carrying the offense himself. The Packers are at their best when the run game dictates terms, keeps defenses honest, and lets Love work off play action, defined reads, and favorable down-and-distance situations. When he is forced into true high-volume dropback mode, the cracks show: inconsistent accuracy, spotty middle-of-the-field anticipation, too many late or risky throws, and a deep ball that does not punish defenses enough to scare them out of aggressive looks. Love can be productive in the right ecosystem, but asking him to be the engine of a pass-first offense is a very different bet than letting him operate as the beneficiary of one of the league’s better-designed run-first attacks.

Well, the Vikings new look offense didn't last long, with Mason missing the next 4 games. DeeJay Dallas is elevated, but this analyst wonders if we see rookie Demond Claiborne get some opportunity earlier than expected. Monitoring the situation...
Another matchup that should be wild from a fantasy perspective is Dolphins vs. Titans. Malik Willis, Malik Washington, Devon Achane, Greg Dulcich, WanDale Robinson, the Titans' RB room... will they score 0 or 40?
We will find out.
Schefter states Nabers' outlook is "murky at best." To me, that means all systems go for Isaiah Likely in the Giants' passing attack.
AJ Brown. Still being under-drafted. Eagles fans still passionately delusional about the impact.
