How this is measured
Each bar is the league at his position; the marker is him. Right is better, the dashed line is the median. Ranks are out of the qualifying pool, ties shown as T-, and move every week as the pool changes.
Love scores 7.1 standard points a game, RB36 of 107 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 2.3 and 11.0; 1 boom week (12+) and 3 busts (under 5). Next up, in Week 9, the Seahawks allow the 11th-fewest standard points to RBs, 15.4 a game.
Love scores 8.0 half-PPR points a game, RB36 of 107 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 2.3 and 12.0; 1 boom week (16+) and 4 busts (under 6.5). Next up, in Week 9, the Seahawks allow the 13th-fewest half-PPR points to RBs, 18.1 a game.
Love scores 8.9 PPR points a game, RB36 of 107 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 2.3 and 13.0; 1 boom week (20+) and 4 busts (under 8). Next up, in Week 9, the Seahawks allow the 15th-fewest PPR points to RBs, 20.9 a game.
How this is measured
Fantasy points are nflverse's standard and full-PPR scoring (6 points for a rushing or receiving touchdown, 4 for a passing touchdown, minus 2 for an interception or a lost fumble); half PPR is the average of the two. Ranks are points a game among players at his position with at least half the most games played. Most weeks is his 20th to 80th percentile game. Bars are green on a boom week and red on a bust; the dashed line is the starter line, the points a game of the RB24 in a 12-team league. The format you pick is remembered on this device.
How he's usedhis fingerprint, where the ball finds him and when
He runs from under center: 20% of his carries come from shotgun (league 34%). Motion is part of the plan: 68% of his touches come with pre-snap movement (league 54%). His share of the team's touches is 18%: on third down it falls to 5%; inside the 20 it holds at 16%. He gets to the edge: only 42% of his carries go inside (league 52%).
How this is measured
Every trait is a share of his own touches, so volume does not move it. The marker is him among the league's qualifying backs; the dashed line is the median. Styles are not grades: a high or low percentile is a description, not a verdict. Play action, screen, RPO, motion and blitz flags come from FTN charting and read low in a week it has not published.
Love's -12.9 EPA is 53rd of 70 backs. The biggest share comes after the catch (+5.4, 9th percentile per target).
How this is measured
Every carry and target this season, split by what happened. Catches divide at the catch: the yards in the air and what came after. Runs are per carry, the receiving parts per target. The percentile is him among the qualifying backs, higher is better, so a cost smaller than most ranks high. The parts add up to the totals above; the career strip counts seasons with at least 30 touches.

Touches are steady: 12.3 a game over his last three against 15 for the season. At or above a starter's median in yards in 2 of 6 games.
How this is measured
Bars are his week. The shaded band is the league's middle half at his position, every qualifying player-game this season, and the dashed line is its median. The solid line is his trailing three games. An × on the baseline is a game his team played without him; a dotted tick is the bye.
He has faced the 10th-toughest slate vs the run: his opponents rank 15.0 of 32 on average (league middle 16.6). Ahead: 5 of his next 9 are top-10 vs the run and 3 are bottom-10, starting with the Seahawks (3rd, away) in Week 9.
