Who Should I Start? Jordan Love or Brock Purdy

Friday, November 14, 5:42 PM

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has had a rough go of it over the last couple of weeks, but Love looks to bounce back with a Week 11 matchup against the New York Giants. Love has been an unstartable fantasy in most weeks this season, and in his past two games, Love has finished QB24 in both weeks and has combined for just 17.8 fantasy points. In his last two matchups against the Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles, Love has zero touchdown passes and thrown one interception, while averaging 225 yards passing. Even with Love getting Romeo Doubs (chest) returning as he was removed from the injury report, it's difficult to justify Love as a fantasy-worthy quarterback. Even in a plus matchup against the New York Giants in Week 11, it's wise to leave Love on waivers or on your bench.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Thursday that quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) will return to the starting lineup this Sunday against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals in Week 11, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports. Shanahan said earlier this week that Purdy would be practicing with the intention of starting this weekend, and it looks like that will happen. It will be just the third start of the year for the 25-year-old signal-caller, and the first since he aggravated his turf-toe injury in Week 4. Purdy is surely an upgrade over Mac Jones under center, although fantasy managers will have to weigh the potential rust factor after Purdy's long layoff. Still, in a plus matchup against Arizona's defense, Purdy should be in play immediately as a low-end QB1 option for fantasy managers who might be hurting at the position in Week 11. He's rostered in 59% of Yahoo leagues right now.
