The Green Bay Packers will visit the Denver Broncos in Week 15. 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 15?
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 15?
Would you blindly back a “hot” three-point shooter?
Without any context, I hope not.
Love is a good quarterback and might well be enough to get the Packers where they want to go, but seven scores on 55 attempts over the past two weeks is a heater that isn’t going to be sustained for any extended period of time.
He put himself in a tough spot in the first drive of the win over the Bears, taking a sack to put Green Bay behind the chains and then throwing a pick as he tried to make up for the first mistake. That was his first INT in over a month: he’s largely shown growth on that front this season, and that’s what the team wants.
This is a Josh Jacobs-based offense that can pass. That’s probably optimal for on-field success, but for us, it’s prohibitive. Love has just four top-10 finishes this season and has failed to clear 30 pass attempts in each of his past four games. He needs the type of unsustainable efficiency we’ve seen of late just to threaten lineups, and this matchup is pretty clearly an issue to sustaining success at a league-average level, never mind the crazy recent rates.
Denver Defensive Rankings
- Touchdown Pass Rate: 1st
- Completion Percentage: 3rd
- Yards Per Pass: 4th
- Blitz Rate: 6th
- Pressure rate: 7th
I’m not comfortable starting Love anywhere this week, but let me be clear: DO NOT drop him. The Packers draw the Bears and Ravens in Weeks 16-17, matchups that I anticipate will have a top-8 grade for Love in.
