Who Should I Start? Jordan Love or Bryce Young

Sunday, January 11, 9:08 PM

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 24 of his 46 pass attempts for 323 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Saturday's Wild Card loss against the Chicago Bears. He also rushed for 11 yards and took one sack. Love played great football for most of Saturday's game, but as the gap between Chicago and Green Bay closed, the young quarterback wasn't able to preserve his team's lead. Love found himself trying to lead a game-winning drive as the Packers trailed by four points in the final minute, but he went just 5-for-11 passing on the final drive and Green Bay lost. Love still had a great showing for bettors and DFS players, and he also spread the ball around with one touchdown pass to four different receivers. He'll now head into the offseason and should rank as a top-10 quarterback in 2026 fantasy drafts.

Across 16 games in 2025, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young completed 63.6% of his pass attempts for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. The 24-year-old proved himself to be an effective game manager, but he struggled to produce consistent fantasy production in Carolina's run-heavy offense. Young topped 200 passing yards in just four games during the regular season. The Panthers' offense will face a tough test in the first round of the NFC playoffs against the Los Angeles Rams. Los Angeles finished the regular season ranked 11th in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (6.8) and tied for seventh in sacks (47). It's worth noting that Young was highly efficient in the Panthers' Week 13 win over the Rams, completing 15 of 20 pass attempts for 206 yards and three touchdowns without committing a turnover. However, Carolina leaned heavily into the run game in that matchup with 40 total rush attempts. That could be the game plan again in the playoffs, which would limit Young's opportunities for production. All in all, Young profiles as a difficult quarterback for fantasy managers in playoff leagues to trust against the Rams.
