Jordan Love is the quarterback for Green Bay, and if Tucker Kraft is fully healthy the source sees him becoming one of Love's primary options after Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks departed.PositiveBreakoutAug 18, 2026
Love is underpriced relative to his supporting cast; his WR1, WR2, WR3, TE1, and RB1 are all being drafted before him in ADP. Hayden Winks attributes this to the Packers' conservative play-calling historically, but sees breakout potential driven by three factors: (1) elite skill group including Matthew Golden as a sleeper and Tucker Kraft returning a month before the season; (2) Packers emphasizing pace in practice and snapping quickly in preseason, likely leading to more dropbacks; (3) Love's proven efficiency (strong EPA per dropback and success rate) finally getting volume opportunity. More dropbacks mean more fantasy points. Early schedule includes Vikings, Jets, Falcons, Bears, Cowboys, Lions, and Panthers.PositiveProjectionAug 12, 2026
Denny Carter ranks Love QB8 and argues the Packers are ready to let him cook more than in past seasons. Love ranks ninth among all QBs in fantasy points per dropback over the past two years and only Brock Purdy and Josh Allen have better adjusted EPA per dropback since the start of 2024. With Josh Jacobs facing potential discipline and LaFleur pledging to 'start from scratch' with the offense, Love's dropbacks should ramp up in 2026. Carter sees him as a steal in both one-QB and superflex formats.PositiveValueAug 12, 2026
Jalen Nailor was hoping to draft Jordan Love as a QB2 option in the range of Matthew Stafford, Jaxson Dart, Bo Nix, Kyler Murray, Jared Goff, or Love after drafting Caleb Williams in Round 7, but Love flew off the board.PositiveValueAug 12, 2026
Love at 125.0 ADP can match efficiency metrics of top mid-round QBs but lacks the volume; he finished in the top 3 12.2% of the time, top 6 20.4%, and top 12 42.9%, demonstrating ceiling potential despite volume constraints.PositiveProjectionAug 12, 2026
Rated as a mid-range QB2, indicating strong quarterback value with solid fantasy expectations.PositiveProjectionAug 11, 2026
Love was the QB2 in EPA per dropback last year despite OL disappointment; efficiency is not up for debate. The only question is if he can have more dropbacks to raise his ceiling and floor. The Packers defense missing Micah Parsons for about a month will help those odds early, and there's a chance Love sets a career-high in attempts with coach Matt LaFleur preaching pace and quicker play-calling all offseason. If the Packers lean into investments in Christian Watson (four-year, $92M), Jayden Reed (three-year, $50M), Tucker Kraft (extension coming) and Matthew Golden (2025 first-rounder) instead of the old-school approach behind potentially-suspended Josh Jacobs, Love goes from upside QB2 to trustable low-end QB1 at a nearly-free draft price.NegativeBustAug 10, 2026
Love hasn't been a top-12 fantasy quarterback in either of the past two seasons, falling to QB13 in fantasy points per game in 2024 and QB21 last season. This has occurred due to an overall drop in average yards and touchdowns through the air, but the bigger concern has been his reduced rushing production. Love ran for 247 yards and four TDs during his strong 2023 campaign but managed just 282 yards and one score over the last two years combined. While the potential for a spike-season exists, Love is just one of many fantasy QB2s hoping to shock the world.NegativeBustAug 10, 2026

Identified as a sleeper QB to target; the source highlights Love as an undervalued late-round option.PositiveValueAug 7, 2026
Jordan Love is identified as one of the source's favorite QB2 targets for 2026; the source recommends waiting until Round 10+ to draft a QB2 and lists Love as a preferred option in that range.PositiveValueAug 6, 2026
Love was drafted for $1 in a 14-team, $200 salary cap league as part of a 'no stars, just talent' quarterback strategy in a deep market.PositiveValueAug 6, 2026
Love at 132nd ADP is within 18 projected points of the QB15, making him a nice value option according to the source.PositiveProjectionAug 5, 2026
Jordan Love had a pair of top-three weekly QB scoring outings in 2025, demonstrating that late-round QB picks can match elite production on a weekly basis; Love's multiple ceiling games support the late-round QB strategy's viability.PositiveProjectionAug 5, 2026
Love is cited as having a pair of top-three weeks in 2025. The source uses him as an example of a late-round QB option that can match elite QB production on a week-to-week basis, supporting the Late-Round QB strategy.PositiveValueAug 4, 2026
The source identifies Love as one of the best values in the 73rd to 120th overall range (Round 7-10 in 12-team leagues) for QB. He leads an offense that is eighth in projected points per the live betting markets.PositiveProjectionAug 4, 2026
Love is listed among the QBs leading offenses that are first, fourth and eighth in projected points per live betting markets, positioning him as a value option in the 73rd-120th overall range (Round 7-10 in 12-team leagues).NegativeProjectionJul 28, 2026
Pianowski tiers Love at $9 salary in Talk Them Up, Talk Them Down tier, placing him among the mid-tier quarterback options.PositiveProjectionNo date
Love, who doesn't turn 28 until November, is capable of having a long-awaited big season that could elevate the Packers from very good to great. If Love becomes an MVP candidate, it could help push the Packers from a perennial playoff team to a Super Bowl contender. The source notes this is why the Packers acquired Parsons.NegativeBustNo date
Love had a great regular season (72.7 QBR, third best) but has now come up short in the postseason two straight years. The question looms whether this is the year Love breaks through in January.PositiveProjectionNo date
Love was second in the NFL behind Drake Maye in EPA per dropback and third in Pro Football Focus' passing grades last season. He was an extremely efficient quarterback who had fewer attempts than Geno Smith despite his elite efficiency, suggesting the Packers' 24th-ranked pass rate above expectation (PROE) may be a philosophical flaw.
