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) was ruled out for a third straight game in Thursday night's contest against the Buffalo Bills, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Stroud was very close to being cleared this week. Rapoport said that had this week's game fallen on Sunday instead of Thursday, Stroud likely would have played for the first time since suffering a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos. He is doing well and was cleared for limited participation in Tuesday's practice. Stroud likely would have upgraded to full participation on Thursday if they didn't have a game, so the expectation is that he'll be able to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in time to play in Week 13 on Sunday, Nov. 30, against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts. Davis Mills is making his third straight start against Buffalo and is hoping to lead the team to their third straight victory.
