The Green Bay Packers will visit the Detroit Lions in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Jordan Love.
Is Jordan Love Playing in Week 13?
Love is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Packers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Love in Week 13?
From Week 4-12, Jordan Love has one finish better than QB14.
He’s been good enough for his Packers to be in a competitive position through three months, but for our purposes, he simply hasn’t been good.
The profile is worrisome, but what we saw last week was a larger issue.
With Josh Jacobs out of the lineup, Green Bay refused to ramp up the usage of their franchise QB, instead loading up Emanuel Wilson with 30 touches. Was this a matchup thing or the Packers telling us what they think of Love?
For just the second time this year, he didn’t complete a pass with 20 air yards behind it. Heck, for the first time since Week 17 of 2022 (in a full game), he didn’t have a 20-yard completion, regardless of the depth of throw.
The fast track in Detroit and an offensive environment could elevate Love to a QB1, but I’m skeptical. This is beginning to feel a little like Patrick Mahomes from years past where he’s asked to do things that are more effective for the team than us.
You supervise the cooking of the turkey to make sure the house doesn’t burn down: I’ll be in my corner, jotting down play patterns and seeing if my worries extend into this huge divisional matchup.
Love is my QB16 for the week.
