BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 45% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Jordan Love has had an up-and-down start to his young NFL career so far. He looked like the third-straight Hall of Fame Packers QB after his first two outings which saw him throw for 396 yards and four touchdowns, but he has been erratic since then.
Love had a sparkling 118.7 passer rating in the first two weeks, but he averaged a putrid 57.7 passer rating from Week 3 to Week 5. Despite that, he still had some fantasy value due to scoring two touchdowns on the ground.
Been so impressed with how Jordan Love is coming along in the pocket and under pressure. Clearly getting more comfortable. Better understanding of when to move vs stare down the barrel and make a throw. Can see him adjusting his platform on the last throw, too. pic.twitter.com/CvE9AzWdfg

He averaged 15.2 fantasy points in his next three games after the Packers' Bye Week, but he finally seems to have turned a corner, averaging 19.8 fantasy points over the last two weeks, finishing as the QB8 in that period.
Love knows that he has to keep up the good play in order to stay as Green Bay's starter in 2024, and luckily for him, his schedule is quite favorable. Out of his seven remaining opponents, five of them have struggled mightily against the pass. He will face off against his divisional rivals (Detroit, Minnesota, and Chicago) while also playing against the Giants and the Buccaneers. Every one of these teams has been weak to below-average against the passing game, so Love could provide low-level QB1 value for the rest of the season.
