The Athletic's Matt Schneidman reports that Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (thumb) is wearing a soft cast after having surgery to address a ligament injury in his left (non-throwing) thumb. Love is still expected to return to practice next week. Even if he were fully healthy, Love was not expected to play in the second preseason game this Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts. The 26-year-old will get back to practice next week and is fully expected to be ready for Week 1 of the 2025 regular season. Love missed two games due to injury in his second full season as the starter in 2024 and finished with 3,389 passing yards, 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, a slight step back from the previous campaign. The Packers' offense needs to stay healthy, but if Love ends up running more, a bounce-back season could be in store. Draft him as a low-end QB2 with upside this fall.

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said that quarterback Jordan Love (thumb) is undergoing a procedure to fix a ligament issue in his left thumb, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky. Gutekunst says the hope is that Love will return to practice next week, and that the injury is not expected to affect him long-term or impact his Week 1 availability. The good news for both Packers fans and fantasy managers is that the injury is on Love's non-throwing hand, but this is still something to monitor throughout the remainder of the preseason. Love profiles as a mid-to-low-end QB2 in fantasy who needs passing volume to be a consistent contributor. If he were to miss time, Malik Willis would be the favorite to step in at quarterback in Green Bay, which would significantly impact the fantasy outlook of the Packers' pass-catchers.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love said he's "got a lot of confidence" in rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Golden worked with the first-team offense in Green Bay's first preseason game on Saturday against the New York Jets. A first-round draft pick out of Texas, Golden has an opportunity to become the lead target-getter for the Packers in 2025. His role could become even larger if third-year wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) is forced to miss time as a result of a sprained foot. Golden has tremendous upside in fantasy and could see his average draft position continue to rise throughout the remainder of the preseason.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love got his feet wet with 12 offensive snaps in the Packers' preseason opener against the New York Jets. Love played the team's first two series, completing one pass in five attempts for seven yards, a slant to first-round rookie Matthew Golden. Love's receivers were shaky in his two series, with Romeo Doubs seeing two targets, Malik Heath seeing one, and tight end Luke Musgrave getting the downfield target. Injuries and a run-heavy approach to the Packers' offense led to a production dip from Love in 2024, but Love is a solid bounce-back candidate in 2025 to return to the QB1 ranks. For now, draft Love as a QB2 with upside residing in his team's ability to score a ton of points.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love missed two full games last year with a sprained MCL in his knee and parts of two more games with a groin injury. It played a part in Love ranking 34th with 83 rushing yards, according to TruMedia. Offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said he'd love for Love to run a little more in 2025. The Athletic's Matt Schneidman writes that Love using his legs more "would unlock another dimension to Green Bay's offense." Love is fully healthy this year after not routinely practicing until around the midway point last year. In 2023, the 26-year-old signal-caller ran 50 times for 247 yards and four touchdowns while playing a full season. Injuries caused Love to take a step back last year, but with better health and more rushing chances, he could easily bounce back as a nice QB2 in fantasy with upside.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur essentially confirmed that quarterback Jordan Love will play in the preseason opener on Saturday against the New York Jets, according to Zach Jacobson of 247 Sports. LaFleur said the team will do their best to give all four QBs meaningful reps in the first preseason game this weekend. Love will probably see a series or two before giving way to Malik Willis, Sean Clifford and Taylor Elgersma. Even though receiver Christian Watson (knee) could miss half of the season while rehabbing a torn ACL, Love will have plenty of targets in the passing game after the Packers added Matthew Golden in the first round in April. The 26-year-old took a slight step back in 2024 with 3,389 passing yards, 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 15 regular-season starts. Love is a QB2 in fantasy with upside.

When asked who the Green Bay Packers' most impressive newcomer has been this summer at training camp, quarterback Jordan Love said rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden without hesitation. "He's gonna be a stud," Love said. "Very aggressive hands, smooth route-runner, he's got speed." There will once again be plenty of competition for targets in Green Bay's receivers room in 2025, but the 22-year-old Golden has looked the part in camp and has been working with the first-team offense. Christian Watson (knee) could miss around half the 2025 season while recovering from an ACL tear, and it wouldn't be a surprise if Golden is running in starting three-wide sets with Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs/Dontayvion Wicks. At the very least, the speedy Golden could be Love's go-to deep threat in his first NFL season, making him worth a look as a WR4/5 in redraft fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love put up a lackluster performance at one of the most inopportune times during the Packers' 22-10 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. Love was 20-of-33 passing for 212 yards but threw three interceptions that potentially took points off the board when points were at a premium all game. The first came on a deep shot to Dontayvion, the second an ill-advised throw down the middle with Zack Baun in perfect position to make the pick. The third sealed the game late in the fourth quarter. Love also added 10 yards on two rushing attempts but overall, this was a disappointing outing. With Love entering his sixth season, Love will be a fringe starting fantasy quarterback for 2025.

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Green Bay Packers quarterbacks Jordan Love (elbow) and Malik Willis (thumb) are off the injury report and good to go for Sunday's playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Love sustained this elbow injury during last weekend's loss to the Chicago Bears. He opened the week as a limited participant but logged two consecutive full sessions to end the week. Willis replaced Love in Week 18 and followed the same practice pattern. Fantasy managers should expect Love to continue operating as the QB1, but Willis will be available if he suffers a setback during the game. Over his past seven full games (excluding Week 18), Love averaged a modest 214.3 passing yards per game with a 10:1 TD:INT ratio. He carries QB2 upside in a tough match against the Eagles, who have allowed the third-fewest PPR points to opposing QBs this season.
Jan 10, 2025 4:42 PM EST
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (elbow) was a full participant in practice for the second straight day. It appears Love is trending in the right direction after being limited to open the week. Two straight full practices should mean Love will be active for Saturday's Wild-Card game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Love was pulled out early during the regular season finale as a precaution and it sounds like they limited to in order to keep him fresh. Barring any setbacks, Love will be out there for Saturday's game in what looks like it could be a high-scoring affair.
Jan 10, 2025 2:54 PM EST
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (elbow) was a full participant in Thursday's practice after being limited by a right elbow injury on Wednesday. This almost certainly means he'll be available for Green Bay's NFC Wild Card matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, barring a setback. Love was banged up in the Week 18 loss to the Chicago Bears and did not return, but the Packers did not have much to gain from winning and likely took the cautious route with their franchise quarterback. Love was impressive in his first playoff run last season, completing over 67% of his passes, averaging 233 passing yards per game, and throwing five touchdowns to two interceptions in games against the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers on the road. Love led the No. 7 seed Packers to the first win over a No. 2 seed in the NFL playoffs ever, and that's the challenge ahead of him again on Sunday.
Jan 9, 2025 3:02 PM EST
Green Bay Packers quarterbacks Jordan Love (elbow) and Malik Willis (undisclosed) were both limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. Love injured his right elbow in the Week 18 loss to the division-rival Chicago Bears and never returned to the game as a precaution. The 26-year-old lost feeling in his hand, but he was seen warming up on the sidelines late in the game and is expected to be fine for the wild-card playoff game on Sunday versus the Philadelphia Eagles. Love has the feeling back in his hand but has lingering soreness in his elbow, which is something to keep an eye on heading into the weekend. In addition to his injury, he lost his best deep threat in receiver Christian Watson (knee) for the rest of the year due to a torn ACL. That combined with Love's injury will make him a low-end QB for fantasy lineups during wild-card weekend.
Jan 8, 2025 3:37 PM EST
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he's unsure if quarterbacks Jordan Love (elbow) and Malik Willis (undisclosed) will be limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. "We'll find out over the next few days," LaFleur said. Despite not knowing if Love and Willis will practice in full this week, he added that he thinks "they're going to be OK" for the wild-card playoff game this Sunday against the Eagles in Philadelphia. A right-elbow injury in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Chicago Bears caused Love's right throwing hand to go numb, which led to Willis taking over for the rest of the game. While Love's removal was precautionary on Sunday, it's unclear if he'll be 100% this weekend against the Eagles, which will give fantasy managers pause when setting DFS lineups. Check back for Love's practice status on Wednesday.
Jan 6, 2025 3:50 PM EST
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love left Week 18's game against the Chicago Bears in the second quarter and did not return in their 24-22 loss. Love exited Sunday's game late in the first half after an injury to his elbow where he was deemed questionable to return. Head coach Matt LaFleur did say after the game that Love was held out as a precaution and will be good to go against the Eagles. Prior to his early exit, Love was 7-of-12 passing for 69 yards and ceded the way to backup quarterback Malik Willis, who finished the rest of the game. Love was seen throwing on the sideline during the Bears' second-to-last drive, sparking optimism that he could return, but Willis played out the rest of the game. The Packers' playoff path is set with the team heading to Philadelphia to face the Eagles next week. For playoff contests, Love is a low-ceiling option.
Jan 5, 2025 4:47 PM EST
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (elbow) exited Sunday's game in the second quarter with what the team is calling a right elbow injury. Love expressed his discomfort after getting hit as he threw the ball and went to the sidelines shortly afterward. He posted 69 yards on 7-for-12 throwing before leaving, and Malik Willis has taken over at quarterback. The Packers likely won't rush him back since they've clinched a wildcard spot already.
Jan 5, 2025 2:13 PM EST
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love looks to put forth a momentum-building effort heading into the playoffs as the Packers host the Chicago Bears in Week 18's regular season finale. Love has been non-startable in fantasy for the most part since Green Bay's Week 10 bye week with just two top 12 fantasy finishes in seven games. He has gone over 250 yards just twice in that span along with only three multi-touchdown games. The passing game has been a secondary focus for the Packers as they have been fueled by the run game and Josh Jacobs. Despite a hugely successful season by the offense, it hasn't manifested into fantasy scoring for Love or his wide receivers for the most part. With the Bears coming up north to Green Bay, consider Love a low-end starter, but probably more of a streaming candidate.
Jan 3, 2025 4:36 PM EST
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love continues his backslide in the second half of the season as the Packers fell to the Minnesota Vikings 27-25. Love was 19-of-30 passing for 185 yards and a lone touchdown pass to Malik Heath late in the fourth quarter. For the first time since their Week 10 bye, the Packers had 30 pass attempts in a game, but that slightly increased passing volume didn't matter as even down 17 points at times in the third and fourth quarter, the Packers still mixed in run plays with less urgency than one would expect. Love has been a top-12 fantasy quarterback just twice since Week 9 and will be a weaker streaming option when the Packers host the Chicago Bears in their Week 18 regular season finale.
Dec 29, 2024 7:49 PM EST
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has a tough assignment ahead as the Packers head to U.S. Bank Stadium to face off with the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. In Week 16, Love put up just 11.5 fantasy points in a 34-0 shutout of the New Orleans Saints where he didn't have to do a lot of heavy lifting thanks to a powerful running game that accounted for three touchdowns. It was Love's worst game of the season of the games he didn't leave because of injury. The Packers have shifted their offensive focus to the run game over the second half of the season, with no games of 30 or more pass attempts since Week 9. Because of the lack of passing volume and a tough opponent on the road, Love is merely a streaming quarterback option for fantasy managers in Week 17.
Dec 27, 2024 4:19 PM EST
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love was quiet and didn't have to do a lot of heavy lifting as the Packers blanked the New Orleans Saints 34-0 in Week 16. Love was 16-of-28 passing for 182 yards and one touchdown; a two-yard strike to Dontayvion Wicks to kick off the scoring for the Packers in the first quarter. Love also added two yards rushing in the win. With the run game a massive part of the production for the Packers against the undermanned Saints, Love didn't have to expend a lot of energy in this game as he bowed out in the fourth quarter for Malik Willis to finish out the game. In Week 17, the Packers will head to U.S. Bank Stadium to face the Minnesota Vikings, where Love will be a low-end QB1 for fantasy managers.
Dec 23, 2024 11:35 PM EST
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has a great matchup on tap as the Packers host the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. Love has been solid this season, but for fantasy purposes, it's left fantasy managers wanting a bit more. With just one top 12 finish among fantasy quarterbacks in the last four weeks, Love has been a floor play in fantasy despite multiple touchdowns in three of those four weeks. The lack of passing volume and increasing willingness to lean into the run with Josh Jacobs has impacted the fantasy viability of not just Love, but Green Bay's pass-catchers too. With a great matchup against the Saints who give up the seventh-highest passing yards per game this season, Love is a low-end fantasy starting quarterback, but realistically, he's more of a streaming candidate for Week 16.
