From the episode

Jeremiah Love's on the bench, played under 50% of the snaps. He played five fewer snaps than Tyler Algier. He played only 11 snaps in the second half. His ankle was getting worked on, but after the game, he said it wasn't, the reason he was on the bench wasn't injury-related.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Love benched with 11 second-half snaps despite third overall draft capital.

Jeremiah Love, drafted third overall, played under 50% of snaps despite a close game where the Packers had a chance to win; he played five fewer snaps than Tyler Algier and only 11 snaps in the second half. LaFleur said the team used Algier more in two-minute offense for pass protection reasons. After the game, Love said it would be "the longest year of my career," a concerning comment for fantasy owners. Matthew Berry expects this to be reversed next week given the criticism, noting Love is a complete running back from college and should not be benched.
