Seahawks' Julian Love: Totals 10 tackles in Week 12 loss
Rotowire
Love posted 10 tackles (six solo) in a loss to the 49ers on Thursday Night Football.
Love took advantage of his second straight start to finish with his third double-digit tackle effort of the campaign. The veteran safety has established a solid IDP floor over the past three weeks with 24 total tackles over that span. However, he may not be able to sustain that level of production with Seattle's secondary almost fully healthy at the moment.

Seahawks' Julian Love: Grabs first INT of 2023 in win
Rotowire
Love had three tackles (two solo) and an interception in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns.
His interception came late in the fourth quarter when the Browns elected to throw the ball on third down. Love picked off PJ Walker on a pass intended for Amari Cooper, which led to the Seahawks scoring the game-winning touchdown five plays later. Love opened the season as the starting strong safety next to Quandre Diggs but has slipped into a depth role in recent weeks with Jamal Adams back in the lineup. Still, Love played in 67 percent of the defensive snaps Sunday and will continue to have a meaningful role in the Seahawks' secondary.

Love had a big game against his former team while filling in for Jamal Adams (concussion), who left the game early in the first quarter. Love, a 2019 fourth-round pick, has now logged double-digit tackles twice this year and is currently on pace to finish with a new career high.

Seahawks' Julian Love: Clear for Week 4
Rotowire
Love (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Monday's road game against the Giants, Colin Gunther of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Prior to being listed as questionable for a Week 3 matchup with the Panthers, Love managed just one limited practice. He was able to suit up last Sunday and log an 85 percent snap share on his way to five tackles and two pass defenses. This week, he opened it with back-to-back capped sessions before getting back to all activity Saturday, allowing the Seahawks to clear him entirely. Love thus will be looking to add to the 27 tackles (21 solo) that he's accrued through three games to start the season, with teammates Jamal Adams (knee) and Quandre Diggs (hamstring) available Monday.

Seahawks' Julian Love: Gets in full practice Saturday
Rotowire
Love (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation for Monday's matchup against the Giants, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Love was a limited participant in practice both Thursday and Friday but was able to log a full session Saturday. He's started at strong safety for Jamal Adams in the first three games of the season and has registered 27 tackles (21 solo) and three pass deflections. Even with Adams set to return Monday, Love should still see meaningful playing time, especially with Artie Burns (hamstring) and Tre Brown (concussion) ruled out.

Giants' Julian Love: Records multiple career-best marks
Rotowire
Love finished the regular season with 124 tackles (79 solo), one sack, two interceptions, five pass defenses and a forced fumble across 16 games.
Love came into his own as an IDP asset this season, setting career-high marks in stops, INTs and sacks. Not coincidentally, he also tallied the most snaps (955) of his career and mostly maintained good health, sitting out only one game -- he was rested in New York's season finale in order to get a breather before the postseason. Love notched double-digit tackles in four different contests, highlighted by a 14-stop performance against Dallas in Week 3. He'll be a free agent after the campaign, and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports that the Giants hope to bring him back into the fold following his success this season.

Rotowire
Love had 10 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 48-22 loss to the Eagles.
Love took a bad angle on a fourth down deep ball to DeVonta Smith in the second quarter, resulting in a 41-yard touchdown that gave the Eagles a 14-0 lead. Outside of that uncharacteristic mistake, the 24-year-old safety was productive as usual, reaching double digits in tackles for a third consecutive game to bring his season total to 107 (70 solo).

New York was trailing by three points at the time, and Love returned the pick to Baltimore's 13-yard line, setting up a Saquon Barkley one-yard touchdown plunge that gave the Giants the victory. Love has established borderline IDP viability this season, racking up 41 tackles, one interception, one sack and one forced fumble through six contests.

Giants' Julian Love: Leads team in tackles
Rotowire
Love recorded 11 tackles (10 solo) across 68 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the 49ers.
Love exploded onto the scene Sunday, more than doubling his tackles this season in a single contest. The second year safety also has the most defensive snaps out of the Giants' safety unit. If he continues this high level of play, Love could emerge as a reliable IDP option moving forward.
