The Green Bay Packers (3-1) will visit the Arizona Cardinals (2-4) in Week 7. 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.

Should You Start or Sit Jordan Love in Week 7?
Jordan Love has finished better than QB17 just twice this season as he’s struggled to put everything together. In five games, he’s thrown multiple touchdowns three times, cleared 290 yards through the air twice, and run for north of 15 yards on three occasions.
All the skills seem to be there, and maybe this is one of the weeks he puts them all together (Daniel Jones and Bryce Young both finished with over 20 fantasy points against Arizona).
Love threw a bad interception on the first drive last week, but it was a mistake made out of aggression. I’d like to see more of that.
Not the mistake part, obviously, but the willingness to take a shot. His aDOT and deep pass rate are both down this year from last, a confusing development with Jayden Reed sidelined and Matthew Golden drafted in the first round.
If we are going to unlock Love as a weekly threat to the top 12, I think the coaching staff has to embolden/encourage him to take some swings.
The running game will make him dangerous (8.9 YPA with four touchdowns in play-action spots this season), and with a little more upside through the air, I’m hopeful that Love can hit his stride over the next month in time for a pair of Chicago games that come in December.
