Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love will hold some one-week fantasy football appeal Sunday as he takes over the offense from Aaron Rodgers, who was ruled out for the Packers' Week 9 game against the Kansas City Chiefs after testing positive for COVID-19.
Love, a first-round pick in the 2020 draft, is set to make his first career start and just his third NFL appearance, but he'll do so under favorable conditions.
The Packers' playmaking group, which has been ravaged by injuries and COVID-19-related absences in recent weeks, has a good chance to get closer to full strength against the Chiefs as wide receivers Davante Adams (reserve/COVID list) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) could be available.
