Who Should I Start? Jordan Love or Dont'e Thornton Jr.

Saturday, December 13, 2:42 PM

Across 13 games this season, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has completed 67.1% of his pass attempts for 3,028 yards, 22 touchdowns, and four interceptions. The 27-year-old has played some of his best football in recent weeks, recording seven touchdown passes over his last two games. The Packers prefer to operate with a run-heavy approach, which limits Love's production upside. He's attempted fewer than 30 passes in seven out of 13 starts this season. However, Love is highly efficient, averaging 7.8 yards per pass attempt. If he can continue his recent run of touchdown production, Love could emerge as a consistent fantasy QB1 down the stretch of the season. The Packers will take on the Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears, and Baltimore Ravens over the next three weeks.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr. (concussion) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Thornton was limited in practice to begin the week, but has been cleared to suit up after two straight full practice sessions. He's back in the mix after sitting out due to a concussion during last week's loss to the Denver Broncos. When healthy, Thornton is unlikely to be a significant contributor in what has been a bad Raiders offense. The 23-year-old has only eight receptions for 123 yards in 11 games this season. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help ahead of Vegas' tough road matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
