Who Should I Start? Jordan Love or Brock Purdy

Wednesday, September 10, 4:41 PM

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is a low-end quarterback streamer for Thursday Night's Week 2 matchup against the Washington Commanders. As fantasy football's QB17 in Week 1, Love only had 22 pass attempts during Green Bay's 27-13 win over the Detroit Lions. He didn't have to do a lot of heavy lifting, but still threw two touchdown passes while falling just short of 200 yards passing. After the Packers' Week 10 bye, Green Bay was a very run-focused team where Love played game manager, which wasn't great for fantasy. The Packers looked like a Super Bowl contender on the defensive side of the ball in Week 1, which doesn't bode well for fantasy production if opposing teams are not pushing them. Love can be treated as a QB2 in Superflex formats and a low-end streamer in single-quarterback leagues for Week 2.

According to Adam Schefter, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is unlikely to play in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. Purdy will be absent in Week 2 and it sounds like he'll miss multiple games due to a turf toe issue. There's a chance that Purdy misses as many as five games from this injury. Mac Jones will be under center in Week 2 and it sounds like he'll be drawing multiple starts. Jones doesn't offer a ton of upside, but has value in Superflex formats. It sounds like the 49ers are going to need to lean on him for at least two games.
