Jordan Love gets it. Matthew Golden drops a pass. Whatever. It’s really not that big of a deal, especially in that situation. Just go right back to him. Keeps the confidence up. Exactly how you should handle it.

Officially active for TNF vs. Carolina after shoulder/foot injuries. must-start due to 10+ target average and WR8 ranking in 0.5PPR, but drop rate (6 drops vs. 3 for peer WRs) has cost 50+ fantasy points this season. Could be top-3 WR if hands improve; on pace for 1,300 yards. Favorable matchup vs. Panthers secondary missing CBs. Some concern about durability/reinjury risk on short week, but target share too valuable to bench.
