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.

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.

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.

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.
