Who Should I Start? Derek Carr or Jordan Love

Former New Orleans Saints and Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) made a surprising decision to hang up his cleats and retire from the NFL this offseason. "That part was tough because I didn't want to have surgery and just sit there and it sounds crazy but just take the Saints money," Carr said. He had two seasons left on the four-year, $150 million deal he signed with the Saints in 2023, although he gave up the $30 million salary he was set to earn in 2025. The four-time Pro Bowler was dealing with a right-shoulder injury that was going to require surgery and leave his availability uncertain for the start of the regular season this fall. Carr said the Saints wanted him to keep playing, but he couldn't commit to another season. With Carr now gone, the Saints will have a QB competition this summer, primarily between rookie second-rounder Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has had some spike weeks, but his overall fantasy production has disappointed. Love looks to right the ship this week in a tough matchup at home against the Philadelphia Eagles. After Week 8 when Love was the overall QB1 and scored 28.3 fantasy points, he followed that up with a dud game in Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers. Love was 26-of-37 for 273 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. His 10 fantasy points were his worst fantasy production of the season, and it doesn't get any easier against the Eagles. Philadelphia allows the fourth-fewest touchdown passes as well as the ninth-lowest yards per attempt this season to quarterbacks. Consider Love a low-end streaming fantasy quarterback in Week 10.
