Should You Start or Sit Jordan Love in Week 6?
Entering the season, I was hopeful that the stability of Jordan Love would help elevate at least one of his receivers to the weekly fantasy conversation.
Instead, he’s been infected with their inconsistencies, something that I was unaware was contagious.
Love has finished with under 190 passing yards twice this season while clearing 290 in the other two. Efficiency hasn’t been the issue (over 72% completion rate in three of four) as much as the volume risk.
-
Week 1 vs. Lions: 22 pass attempts
-
Week 2 vs. Commanders: 31 pass attempts
-
Week 3 at Browns: 25 pass attempts
-
Week 4 at Cowboys: 43 pass attempts
I’m confident in Love this week because I’m confident in anyone who is on an NFL roster facing the Bengals, but I’ll admit that I worry about these peaks and valleys as the season progresses.
If you asked me to take a positive or negative stance on Love for the remainder of 2022, I’d lean the former because I trust him in scoring position. Over his past 27 games, Love has completed 66.4% of his red zone passes with 41 scores against just two interceptions.
Neither the Bears nor the Ravens scare me defensively right now, and those two make up three of Green Bay’s last four games this fantasy season.
