Head coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Love took a hit to his thigh during Sunday's 30-13 win over the Seahawks, but the quarterback is expected to be a full participant in practice throughout Week 16, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. Though Love played all 64 of the Packers' offensive snaps in the Week 15 win, he was seen limping late in the game, which LaFleur addressed during his media session Tuesday. With the coach downplaying any concern about Love's health, fantasy managers should feel comfortable with deploying the quarterback as they normally would heading into a favorable Week 16 matchup with the Saints on Monday night. While Green Bay's heavy reliance on the Josh Jacobs-led run game has limited his overall passing volume of late, Love has been highly efficient over his last four starts with an average of 218.0 yards per game and 8.9 yards per attempt to go with seven touchdowns and no interceptions.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Love took a hit to his thigh during Sunday's 30-13 win over the Seahawks, but the quarterback is expected to be a full participant in practice throughout Week 16, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. Though Love played all 64 of the Packers' offensive snaps in the Week 15 win, he was seen limping late in the game, which LaFleur addressed during his media session Tuesday. With the coach downplaying any concern about Love's health, fantasy managers should feel comfortable with deploying the quarterback as they normally would heading into a favorable Week 16 matchup with the Saints on Monday night. While Green Bay's heavy reliance on the Josh Jacobs-led run game has limited his overall passing volume of late, Love has been highly efficient over his last four starts with an average of 218.0 yards per game and 8.9 yards per attempt to go with seven touchdowns and no interceptions.
Love completed 20 of 27 passes for 229 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Seahawks. He added one rushing attempt for four yards. After Josh Jacobs ran in a touchdown on the opening drive, Love doubled Green Bay's lead with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Romeo Doubs. Love had only one incompletion as the Packers produced points on all four of their first-half drives to take a 20-3 lead into the locker room. Green Bay's offense slowed down in the second half, but the defense did its job, and Love added some breathing room with a 22-yard touchdown pass to Romeo Doubs with 4:59 left in the fourth quarter. This clean performance improved Love's TD:INT to 23:11 heading into a Week 16 home game against the Saints.
Love completed 12 of 20 passes for 206 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and rushed four times for 23 yards in the Packers' 34-31 loss to the Lions on Thursday night. Love averaged an impressive 10.3 yards per attempt, but he recorded his second-fewest number of pass attempts this season against a Lions squad that had forced opponents to the air plenty. With stalwart interior lineman DJ Reader (shoulder) sidelined and fellow defensive tackle Alim McNeill (head) exiting for the Lions early in the contest, the Packers were able to lean on Josh Jacobs on the ground about as much as usual, and Love was also the victim of Detroit's 12-minute-plus time-of-possession advantage. His one touchdown pass went to Tucker Kraft from 12 yards out to cap off the first possession of the second half, a drive Love ignited with a 59-yard completion to Christian Watson. The fourth-year signal-caller does now have a three-game interception-less streak, and Love should be more active through the air in a key Week 15 road matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday night, Dec. 15.
Love completed 21 of 28 passes for 274 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Thursday's 30-17 win over the Dolphins. Love got off to a quick start, as he threw a pair of touchdowns to Jayden Reed by halftime. The Packers slowed things down in the final two quarters as they maintained a three-score lead, but Love managed to rack up yardage thanks to 49 and 46-yard completions. He also limited mistakes and negative plays, as he didn't turn the ball over and didn't take a sack. This was arguably Love's most well-rounded game of the season and should give the Green Bay offense some momentum heading into a pivotal Week 14 showdown with the Lions.
Love 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. 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.
Love completed 13 of 17 passes for 261 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Packers' 20-19 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also rushed four times for 18 yards and another score. Love finished the game with an elevated average of 15.4 yards per attempt, hitting on several chunk plays through the air over the course of the narrow win. The longest was a 60-yarder to Christian Watson on the second play of what would turn out to be the Packers' game-winning drive in the fourth quarter, one Love capped off himself with a one-yard touchdown run with 2:59 remaining. Love now has 534 passing yards on 36 completions over his last two games and appears to be fully past the groin injury that limited him going into the Week 10 bye, setting him up well for a Week 12 home showdown against the 49ers next Sunday.
Love (groin) was a full practice participant Wednesday. Love exited early during the Packers' Week 8 win at Jacksonville due to a strained groin but was able to play every snap in a Week 9 loss to the Lions. He struggled in rainy conditions in the latter contest, completing 23 of 39 passes for 273 yards, no touchdowns and one interception while being credited with three fumbles, none of which he lost. With the team's Week 9 bye to heal up, Love is good to go moving forward, but running backs Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) and MarShawn Lloyd (ankle/hamstring) both were limited participants Wednesday, leaving the backfield in some flux ahead of Sunday's contest at Chicago.
Love completed 23 of 39 passes for 273 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions. Love played through a groin injury that limited his practice participation throughout the week. At first glance, his stat line appears decent, as he averaged 7.0 yards per attempt and topped 250 passing yards fourth time in seven games. However, he threw a pick-six just before halftime on an ill-advised play and later missed Dontayvion Wicks wide open in the end zone as the Packers tried to make a comeback early in the fourth quarter. Love has now failed to throw a touchdown in consecutive starts as the Packers head into their bye week.
Love (groin) is listed as active Sunday versus the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports. One week removed from making an early departure from a Week 8 win at Jacksonville due to a groin strain, Love will suit up and continue to direct the Packers' offense after capping Week 9 prep with back-to-back limited practices. He'll be taking on a Detroit defense that has allowed the second-fewest passing touchdowns (six) to opposing quarterbacks in seven games this season.
