Who Should I Start? Jake Browning or Jordan Love

Tuesday, October 7, 11:19 AM

According to Cincinnati Bengals beat writer Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, the team's internal options at quarterback are "not in consideration" to replace current starter Jake Browning in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. As such, any potential replacement would have to come from outside the building. In three starts since replacing Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) under center, Browning has thrown for 516 yards, four touchdowns, and five interceptions while leading the team to an 0-3 record. However, it does not appear Cincinnati has confidence in current backup QB Brett Rypien or practice squad QB options Mike White and Sean Clifford. Most likely, Browning will be the signal-caller in a difficult Week 6 matchup against the Packers.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love had a subpar outing in Week 15 against the Denver Broncos, but he will look to correct course when the Packers head to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears. Love faced these Bears just two weeks ago and finished as QB11 for fantasy in Week 14, with three touchdown passes and 234 passing yards. It's fair to expect about the same for Love this week, with the matchup flipping to the Bears' home field. With Josh Jacobs (knee/ankle) having a true questionable designation on Saturday, in addition to multiple wide receivers banged up, Love may be relied upon even more to help carry the Packers to a much-needed divisional win to put them ahead in the NFC North. For fantasy, Love is a fringe starting option this week, with a bit more upside as one of the healthier Packers' offensive players.
