Who Should I Start? Blaine Gabbert or Jordan Love

Monday, January 8, 1:51 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Blaine Gabbert wasn't asked to do much in Sunday's 13-12 road win over the Los Angeles Chargers, completing 15-of-30 passes for 154 yards and an interception with five carries for 46 yards. With the Chiefs resting most of their top skill positions in a game with no playoff implications, Gabbert understandably had a difficult time moving the ball and sustaining drives. The 34-year-old veteran looked spry, though, on 25- and 14-yard scampers to set up a go-ahead field-goal drive during the fourth quarter. Gabbert served his purpose in Week 18 to bridge the gap between this meaningless contest and K.C.'s postseason endeavors, and he will head back to the sidelines as Patrick Mahomes' backup when the team hosts the Miami Dolphins on Saturday night for Wild Card action.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has been a much better real-life quarterback than a fantasy option this season, but he will look to right the ship against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving in Week 13. Love has had just 24 and 21 pass attempts in the last two weeks and has averaged just 163 passing yards and less than a touchdown per game in his last three games. That's not going to get it done from a fantasy perspective. With Love rarely approaching any sort of fantasy points ceiling and the Packers very content to run the ball, it crushes any upside for the passing game. Even with multiple members of the Lions' secondary banged up on a defense that's allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, Love is more of a QB2 for two-quarterback fantasy leagues rather than a starter in single-quarterback leagues for Week 13.
