No IR For Jordan Love

The Packers are not placing QB Jordan Love (knee) on IR, HC Matt LaFleur said. That means the team believes there's a good chance that Love misses fewer than four games. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported on Saturday that Love's "initial timetable" for return was 3-6 weeks. It sounds like he's trending toward the short end of that span.

Love is worth keeping stashed in basically all fantasy leagues. His mobility might be limited in his first few games back, but he's not a guy whose fantasy production relies on rushing ability.

LaFleur also confirmed that QB Malik Willis will start Week 2 vs. the Colts. QB Sean Clifford will be the backup. Expect a heavy dose of RB Josh Jacobs in that one.
