2025 Fantasy Outlook
Love has improved significantly in each of his seasons with Seattle since leaving New York. He has established himself as a near every-down player and topped 1,000 defensive snaps for the first time in 2024. Love has always had the ability to rack up tackles, but he's become a standout playmaker the last two seasons by tallying 11 combined interceptions and forced fumbles. Particularly interesting was his usage under first-year coach Mike Macdonald, who opted to use Love more as true free safety than earlier in his career. That's likely to keep Love's tackle total closer to 100 rather than rebound to the to his career marks, but Love will occupy a key role in the defense and undoubtedly remain productive.

Love (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Love has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a hamstring injury that he played through during the Seahawks' Week 4 win over the Cardinals. Friday's practice report will provide clarity on Love's chances of playing in Sunday's home tilt against the Buccaneers. Nick Emmanwori and Ty Okada would be the top candidates to start at safety alongside Coby Bryant if Love is unable to play versus Tampa Bay.

2019
Love parlayed a breakout 2022 season into a multi-year deal with the Seahawks and posted a near identical line for the second straight campaign in 2023. Seattle did nothing this offseason to challenge his role, and in fact parted ways with both Quandre Diggs and Jamal Adams. That means Love should get the chance to work with defensive mastermind Mike Macdonald in a full-time role, putting him in line to top 100 tackles for the third consecutive season. Love is also an impactful player in coverage, as he's broken up at least five passes in three straight camapigns, giving him well-rounded productive that translates well to IDP formats.
Love didn't take over as a starting safety for the Giants until the 2022 season. He made a statement with the opportunity, posting 124 tackles, five pass breakups, two interceptions and a sack through 16 games. He's not going to have a full-time gig in Seattle because Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs are locked into starting roles, but he'd immediately become an autostart for fantasy purposes if Adams gets injured, something that has been common over the last three years.
Love played in each of the Giants' 17 games last season, notching five starts and finishing with a career-high 66 tackles along with half a sack and one interception. The Notre Dame product is expected to take on a larger role in 2022, as he'll be counted on as a full-time starter at free safety with the departures of Logan Ryan and Jabrill Peppers. The transition to a starting spot means New York no longer will be able to take full advantage of Love's versatility - he's earned the nickname "Duct Tape" for his ability to patch holes wherever needed in the secondary - but the move should be a positive one overall for the 24-year-old, giving him a chance to break out next to star strong safety Xavier McKinney.
A 2019 fourth-round pick, Love had a solid sophomore season, with 64 tackles, three passes defensed and one interception. This year, he'll be challenged for snaps as Jabrill Peppers, Logan Ryan and last year's second-rounder, Xavier McKinney, are all likely to see regular work at the safety spots.
Last year's fourth-round pick, Love will back up rookie Xavier McKinney and Jabrill Peppers at safety.
So long as New York's secondary remains healthy, the rookie out of Notre Dame isn't expected to field an every-down defensive workload in 2019. The Giants invested a fourth-round pick in Love this April, but with Antoine Bethea -- who has started 13-plus games in 11 of 13 NFL seasons -- situated as the starting free safety, Love is likely to be played more in slot coverage or on special teams.
