This would be an incredible turn of events given that Love sustained what appeared to be a significant injury just under a week ago, but we won’t rule him out until the Packers rule him out. That being said, the Packers have already named Malik Willis as their starter for Week 2 against the Colts and Love has yet to take a practice snap this week ahead of Sunday’s game. The good news: the fact that Love is even being mentioned in conversations about starting for Week 2 would seem to indicate that his recovery timeframe could be on the shorter end of the 4-6 weeks originally estimated. It would be a genuine surprise should Love take the field on Sunday against the Colts, and fantasy managers should still treat Malik Willis as the likely starter. While Willis is quarterback, all of the Packers receivers should be downgraded while the overall scoring ceiling of the offense is reduced in Love’s absence. However, it sounds like Love could make his return sooner rather than later – much to the joy of his fantasy managers.
