Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on Jordan Love

VideoFantasy Football QB Tiers: Justin Herbert No Matter What?Captured July 7, 2026

From the video

in 2024 when he had to kind of step in for Jordan Love, a lot of it was heavy RPO play action... 2025 though, I feel like they took the training wheels off.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Love's 2024 absence gave Willis development opportunity with RPO-heavy scheme.

Context for Malik Willis's 2024 role: Willis stepped in for Jordan Love in 2024 with heavy RPO and play-action scheme under Matt LaFleur. 2025 shows evolution: training wheels off, average target depth increased significantly, indicating expanded passing role for Willis. Love's injury/absence in 2024 created opportunity for Willis to develop.
