The Green Bay Packers (4-1) will visit the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2) in Week 8. 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 8?
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 Jordan Love in Week 8?
With a spike in completion percentage, TD/INT rate, and a willingness to move the chains with his legs, Jordan Love is making the Packers brass happy.
With one finish this season better than QB11, he’s not really doing that for his fantasy managers.
That’s a tough combination. This is a team that wants to win with Josh Jacobs and the defense, something they are very capable of doing.
Joe Flacco performed in this matchup last week, and Dillon Gabriel is the only QB Pittsburgh has held under 19 fantasy points over the past month. I think we are looking at a narrow range of outcomes for Love (under 20 completions in five of six games), and in the right spot, that’s helpful, but because so many QBs carry higher ceilings, I couldn’t get Love higher than QB10 for this upcoming weekend.
