Jordan Love 2023 NFL Player Outlook: Is It Time to Give Love A Chance?
2 years agoTo quote Eminem, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has been "patiently waiting to make it through all the hating and debating." It's finally time to see what the Packers have in their 2020 first-round pick. So far, we have only caught Love at a glance. His one start was in 2021, where he had the tall task of taking on the Chiefs in Arrowhead. The 24-year-old completed 19-of-34 pass attempts for 190 yards, a touchdown, and an interception while rushing for 23 yards on five attempts during his start versus Kansas City. Although his stats weren't spectacular, this is a very solid opening performance. Two years later, Love takes control of Green Bay's historically proficient offense. There's plenty of reason to believe in Love, especially under the established head coach, Matt LaFleur. On this offense, he should be able to spread the Love to second-year receivers Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs and rely on veterans Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon in the backfield. The Packers also selected tight ends Luke Musgrave, Tucker Kraft, and wide receiver Jayden Reed in the 2023 NFL Draft. Fantasy managers should give Love a chance if they miss out on one of the elite QBs. Ideally, it would be best to pair him with a steady veteran if he shows fantasy potential early in the season. Love is mainly an option in Two-QB or superlfex formats heading into upcoming fantasy drafts.
