Jordan Love Establishing Himself as Solid QB2 in Fantasy Going into 2026

Saturday, March 7, 5:55 AM

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love showed his upside in the Wild-Card playoff loss to the Chicago Bears in his last game of the season, throwing for 323 yards and four touchdowns on 24-for-46 passing. In 15 regular-season starts in 2025 in his fifth year in the league, the 27-year-old completed 66.3% of his passes for 3,381 yards, 23 touchdown passes, and six interceptions. The former first-rounder has had his ups and downs in his three full seasons as Green Bay's starting signal-caller, but it was a good sign to see him drop his interceptions from double digits each of the previous two seasons. Love can be a QB1 for fantasy managers in the right matchups in head coach Matt LaFleur's offense, but he's best drafted as a high-end QB2 going into his sixth season this fall. He finished as the QB16 in overall fantasy points last year, averaging 16.5 fantasy points per game.

Brock Purdy Facing Uphill Battle in Difficult Divisional Round Matchup

Friday, January 16, 3:24 PM

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was far from perfect in his team's Wild Card Weekend win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The 26-year-old completed 18 of 31 pass attempts for 262 yards and two touchdowns, but he also threw two interceptions. Dating back to the regular season, Purdy has now thrown an interception in four consecutive games. In the Divisional Round, San Francisco will travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks. Seattle completely shut Purdy down in the regular season finale for both teams, holding Purdy to 19 of 27 passing for 127 yards, zero touchdowns, and a pick. The Seahawks defense was dominant throughout the regular season, finishing first in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (6.0) and tied for seventh in sacks (47). Making matters worse for Purdy, he'll be without one of his top receiving weapons in tight end George Kittle (Achilles), who suffered a season-ending torn Achilles tendon in the Wild Card Round. Given the matchup and San Francisco's depleted pass-catching corps, Purdy profiles as a quarterback for fantasy managers to avoid in the Divisional Round.
