Who Should I Start? Gardner Minshew or Jordan Love

Thursday, November 28, 1:02 PM

The Las Vegas Raiders have placed quarterback Gardner Minshew II (collarbone) on injured reserve. Given that Minshew has already been ruled out for the remainder of the 2024 season, this is merely a procedural move. He finishes his age-28 campaign having completed 203 of 306 passes for 2,013 yards, nine touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He also took 29 sacks and lost four fumbles. It's been a sloppy year under center for the Raiders, who have given snaps to Minshew, Aidan O'Connell, and Desmond Ridder. Moving forward, Vegas intends to start O'Connell, whom they activated from injured reserve on Thursday. However, he's expected to be on a short leash with Ridder waiting in the wing.

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.
