Quarterback
Jordan Love: Love ended up getting there for gamers last weekend, ending the week as QB12 (17.5 points).
He has finished in the front half of weekly scoring in six of his past seven games with four QB1 scoring weeks over that stretch.
This is a spot where Love is more of a QB2 than a 1QB streamer.
The Panthers are seventh in passing points allowed (11.2 per game) and seventh in yards allowed per pass attempt (6.5 Y/A).
They have not allowed a QB1 scorer since Week 6, which does include games against Dak Prescott (QB15) and C.J. Stroud (QB21).
