Trust = spike production for that player
Quarterback
Jordan Love: Just when we were getting comfortable with Love as a stable fantasy option, he came out and had his worst game since early in the season on Monday night against the Giants.
Love ended the week as QB23 (8.9 points), his fewest points scored in a game since Week 5.
He threw for 5.6 yards per pass attempt, his fewest in a game since Week 8.
After throwing multiple touchdown passes in each of his four previous games, Love threw just one touchdown with his first interception since Week 10. He also lost a fumble.
Despite the hiccup, this is a spot to go back to Love as a fringe-QB1.
We have regularly targeted Tampa Bay over the back half of the season for streaming.
The Bucs allowed a QB2 scoring week (25.4 points) to Desmond Ridder last week, a game that included 15.9 passing points.
Since their Week 5 bye, Tampa Bay has allowed a 65.7% completion rate (26th), 8.3 yards per pass attempt (31st), and 13 passing touchdowns (24th).
They have allowed five different quarterbacks to finish as top-three scorers over that span.
