Love has averaged 15 fantasy points per game the most recent two years. While the Packers streamlined their offense and Love could have the most passing attempts of his career (579 in 2023 was his previous high when he scored 319 fantasy points), the source is concerned about his lack of rushing production—only four rushing touchdowns in 2023 and fewer than 200 rushing yards since that season. He would be a decent superflex target because he is quite discounted, but the source would not be targeting him in standard formats.

Love's 97.8 passer rating ranks 11th among 75 quarterbacks with at least 100 pass attempts since earning the starting job. Entering his fourth season starting and seventh as a pro, Love has compiled a 27-20-1 record with 11,535 passing yards, 83 touchdowns, and 31 interceptions across three starting seasons. Each of his three years starting, the Packers have advanced to the playoffs, including a wild-card appearance last season where Love threw for 323 yards and four touchdowns in a 31-27 loss to Chicago.

Entering his fourth season as Packers starter, Love has developed a collaborative relationship with head coach Matt LaFleur similar to Aaron Rodgers' dynamic, actively influencing offensive scheme and playcalling. Love told Yahoo Sports: "Since I took over, it's something we've grown at year after year. And I've got more comfortable trying to talk to him about things I like, plays I like, things I don't like." GM Brian Gutekunst noted Love's knowledge is now "that of a coach" and the relationship has become "more of a partnership collaboration." This schematic input represents a significant role expansion beyond typical quarterback duties.

Love is projected to remain in tier five with low ceiling and floor despite the Packers' expected pass-heavy lean; the source explicitly avoids drafting him even in superflex formats due to lack of rushing production (career 10 rushing yards per game, one rushing TD over two years) and failure to break out despite ample opportunity. The source notes he should run more but doesn't, making it difficult to construct a top-eight QB narrative.

Quarterback Jordan Love is a key reason the Packers retained coach Matt LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst; team president Ed Policy emphasized the importance of continuity for quarterback development, noting that players—especially quarterbacks on championship-caliber teams—develop best in an environment of continuity rather than chaos. Love has made the playoffs in each of his first three seasons as starter but has won only one playoff game.

Love presents a disconnect between real-life and fantasy quarterback value. In 2025, he ranked second in expected points added per dropback, third in defense-adjusted value over average, third in QBR, and sixth in passer rating—elite metrics—yet averaged only 16.1 fantasy points per game (QB19 among starters with 8+ starts). Love finished QB5 in 2023 but has not finished in QB1 range since, primarily due to the Packers' run-heavy approach (31st in pass rate over expected in 2024, 22nd in 2025). Love has contributed minimal rushing production with 282 yards and one TD over the last two seasons. Despite elite real-world efficiency, he should be regarded as a high-end to midrange QB2 in 2026 fantasy drafts.

Cardinals could take a similar approach at RB to Y1 Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier Love will handle the bulk of the carries but may not be overloaded Take: Would be similar to many recent 1st round RBs. This could be a situation where its 60-40 to start and gradually gets to 70-30 or 75-25 as the season goes on. Via @​Tdrake4sports

Love faces one of the toughest jobs in sports: replacing two Hall of Fame quarterbacks back-to-back (Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers). His calm demeanor contrasts with the pressure surrounding the Packers organization. He leads one of football's youngest offenses while carrying the expectations of one of the league's most historic franchises. The Packers' passionate fan base, Lambeau Field atmosphere, and weekly preparation would provide outstanding visuals; Netflix could add historical context to the storytelling.

PositiveSleeperJul 30, 2026FantasyPros Articles
Love has been a mid-range QB2 over the last two years (QB17, QB16) since his massive 2023 breakout (QB5), but this underperformance stems from Green Bay's run-first, run-always offensive scheme rather than declining talent. If the Packers increase their pass rate to league-average standards (they ranked eighth-best in neutral rushing rate last year in Weeks 1-15), Love could return to QB1 territory. Over the last three seasons, Love has sustained above-average passing touchdown rates (5.5%, 5.9%, 5.2%), demonstrating consistency in that category. Among 38 qualifying quarterbacks last year, Love ranked eighth in yards per attempt, fifth in hero throw rate, 15th in catchable target rate, and 13th (tied) in fantasy points per dropback. His QB2 production is priced into his ADP; his upside as a QB1 is not.

Jordan Love has been the Packers' starting quarterback for three seasons and has led Green Bay to the NFC's #7 playoff seed in all three years, but the team has managed just one postseason win during that span (2023). The source notes the Packers finished 9-8 in Love's first season (2023), 11-6 but still the 7th seed in 2024, and 9-7-1 in 2025, with FanDuel projecting another 9.5-win season in 2026. This pattern of consistent regular-season mediocrity and early playoff exits despite Love's presence suggests limited upside for the team's offensive production.

Love is added to the sleeper list due to optimism about Green Bay's receiving core cleanup and running back questions, which could force more volume. Despite an injury concern, Love demonstrated capability with seven 20-plus point games last year, 38 points in his playoff game, and an 18.7 overall average. With Michael Parsons potentially missing the first four games, the Packers may need to throw early, supporting Love's upside.
