The Top QBs To Start in Week 18
Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers (vs. CHI)
The Chicago Bears are not a defense you want to target with a QB in general, but this week, Love is a fairly easy top-12 option. If you are without the likes of Matthew Stafford, Lamar Jackson, or Brock Purdy, Love could be an intriguing pivot option.

When you also look at weather conditions around the NFL this week, the conditions up in Green Bay are arguably as good as it gets. Love may not be a 20-point-type starter this week, but he should get a solid number that won’t hurt you.
Geno Smith, Seattle Seahawks (at ARI)
It has been a tough few weeks for Smith, but this could be a perfect opportunity to get him back into lineups. The Arizona Cardinals have allowed over 23 fantasy points per game to opposing QBs in the past four weeks.
Smith will be one of a few starters who we can expect to play all four quarters, have his full complements of weapons throughout, and get a nice weather/dome situation to play in. This actually feels like a simple choice if you are struggling to find a starting option at QB this week.
