Trust = spike production for that player
Quarterback
Jordan Love: Love has not been a QB1 since Week 3 and has not thrown for 7.0 yards per pass attempt in a game since Week 1, but he also has not completely bottomed out for fantasy because of his rushing contributions.
Love has finished a week lower than QB18 just once this season due to averaging 4.1 rushing points per game, which is ninth among quarterbacks.
That mobility gives Love some stability as a floor-based QB2.
This is not a matchup to hide from, either.
Love is not Dak Prescott, who just scored 28.1 points against the Rams, but Los Angeles also allowed 15.2 points and 9.2 yards per pass attempt to Kenny Pickett the week prior.
