Grade Breakdown

What do these mean?

Why 79.0?

Love's 77.5 grade comes mainly from solid per-touch production, ranking 16th of 61 backs in expected points added per touch, against tougher-than-average defenses. His grade climbed each week, capped by an 80.3 outing at San Francisco. With only 53 touches through three games, this is still a small sample.

Lifting the grade

  • EPA per touch ranks 16th of 61 RBs, boosted by facing tougher defenses
  • 5-yard touchdown run in week 1 vs the Chargers (+1.6 expected points)
  • 18-yard run in week 1 vs the Chargers (+1.4 expected points)
