The Green Bay Packers signal-caller has had three straight 20-point fantasy days, including Sunday's 23.7-point day against the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.

Love went 25-of-36 for 267 yards and three touchdowns in a win over KC that put the Packers into the third and final wildcard spot.

The performance marked the third straight multi-touchdown game for Love with no interceptions and suggests that the first-year starter may have found his footing. Earlier in the season, there were real questions about his ability to be a legitimate starting quarterback for one of the league's most storied franchises but he has spent the last month proving all of the naysayers wrong.

He has been a top 15 fantasy QB in seven of his 12 starts and finished in the top five in his last two.

If you are in a Yahoo or ESPN league, where Love is available in 36 and 40 percent of them respectively, go grab him up. Love looks like the real deal and having him on your roster to alternate with your starter or start even, is a decision that may ultimately win your league title.

Waiver Wire Pickup: Jacksonville Jaguars D/ST

The Jacksonville defense has accumulated nine fumble recoveries in 2023, good enough for third in the league, and 11 interceptions, tied for fifth.

They may give up yardage, but they have also managed to create turnovers and benefit from them.

Against an inconsistent Browns offense that has thrown the third-most interceptions (13) and tied for fourth in the league with seven fumbles, they will have the opportunity to create opportunities and benefit fantasy managers wise enough to pick the Jags' unit up.

Jacksonville's D/ST is available in 37.5 percent of leagues and is a solid option in the event of a bye week or an underperforming squad.
