Who Should I Start? Jordan Love or C.J. Stroud

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (shoulder) is playing through a sprained AC joint injury, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Luckily for Love and the Packers, the injury is to his left, or non-throwing, shoulder. Had the injury been to Love's right shoulder, Rapoport noted that the quarterback would not have been able to play, yet he was able to practice fully this week. Nonetheless, the injury isn't exactly pleasant, so it will be worth watching to see how Love performs. Fantasy managers counting on Love should keep an eye on how he plays through the pain against Minnesota.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol after last seeing action in a Week 9 loss to the Broncos. The Texans have won three straight contests with Davis Mills under center, but head coach DeMeco Ryans made it clear on Monday that Stroud will reclaim the starting position once he clears protocol. There was optimism in the building that he could have returned in Week 12, had it not been for a short week of preparation to face the Bills on Thursday night; however, he will still need to progress through protocol this week to have a shot at starting against the Colts on Sunday. Texans number one receiver Nico Collins had turned in stellar fantasy performances in Mills' first two starts, but in a Thursday night win propelled by the team's smothering defense, he caught only three passes for 55 yards and was kept out of the endzone. The Colts represent a plus matchup in Week 13, making Collins a must-start regardless of the team's quarterback situation, while a healthy Stroud re-enters the streaming conversation.
