The Green Bay Packers will host the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17. 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 17?
Head coach Matt LaFleur said that Love (concussion) will be a limited participant in Tuesday’s practice, according to Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers’ official site.
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 17?
Love wasn’t exactly lighting up the Bears on Saturday night before taking the head-on sack that resulted in him not finishing the first half or returning after halftime.
He has just four top-10 finishes at the position this season, so hopefully you’re not relying on him in a significant way at this point, but Malik Willis (shoulder) isn’t a bad streaming option if you’re in a tough spot and he’s active. He brings with him the type of plus-athleticism that is a cheat code in our game, and there’s a chance this game shoots out in a big way.
“Packers QB” will be ranked as a top-12 play for me this week, provided that Love or Willis is active.
