Jordan Love More of a QB2 in Week 1 Against Vikings

Friday, September 11, 3:49 PM

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is looking to kick off his 2026 off in style as the Packers travel to Minneapolis to take on the Minnesota Vikings in their season opener. Love's 2025 season was a lot like his 2024, with very efficient play, but ultimately saddled by low pass volume that doesn't make his play pop in fantasy football. Yet again, the Packers leaned on Josh Jacobs and the running game, turning Love into a game manager. The receiving room has condensed in 2026, as Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks are in new locales, so the hope is that Christian Watson, Tucker Kraft, Jayden Reed, and Matthew Golden can condense targets in this offense with some added pass volume. For Week 1, Love is a QB2 option, best suited to start in 2QB leagues rather than single-quarterback leagues.

Cam Ward News

Cam Ward a Risky Start in Two-QB Leagues in Week 1

Saturday, September 12, 5:27 AM

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward had an up-and-down season as a rookie in 2025, completing 59.8% of his pass attempts for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Entering 2026, the 24-year-old remains the unquestioned QB1 in Tennessee and should have a better supporting cast around him after the Titans added rookie Carnell Tate and veteran Wan'Dale Robinson to their wide receiver room over the offseason. In Week 1, Tennessee will host the New York Jets. The Jets fielded a bottom-tier pass defense in 2025, allowing the most passing touchdowns in the NFL (36) while also failing to record a single interception for the entire season. However, New York added some veteran talent over the offseason and should field an improved unit in 2026. Ward is also coming off a shaky preseason, and the team's overall offense remains a question mark heading into the year. Given the uncertainty, Ward profiles as a low-end QB2 option for fantasy at best in Week 1.
