Jordan Love News
Friday, September 25, 5:25 AM
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love was forced into a pass-heavy game script in his team's 35-14 Week 3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night, completing 28 of 53 pass attempts for 312 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. While it wasn't a particularly efficient night for Love, he provided fantasy managers with solid production. Green Bay's inability to run the ball effectively early in the 2026 season has altered Love's fantasy outlook relative to previous years. After averaging 29.3 pass attempts per game in 2025, Love is currently averaging 41.3 pass attempts per contest in 2026. Through three games, he's completed 52.4% of his passes for 844 yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions. If the Packers continue to operate in such a pass-heavy manner, Love could provide consistent top-12 quarterback production for fantasy managers.

J.J. McCarthy News
Friday, October 2, 10:18 AM
New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh said that quarterback J.J. McCarthy spent "most of his time" this week learning New York's offense, and that the team is "still trying to figure out" whether he will be the Giants' QB2 or QB3, per ESPN's Jordan Raanan. With Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (knee) out for the season, New York acquired McCarthy from the Minnesota Vikings on Monday. McCarthy could eventually take over as the starter for the Giants, but veteran Jameis Winston remains the QB1 in the short term. A former first-round pick, McCarthy threw for 1,632 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions across 10 starts with Minnesota in 2025. While the 23-year-old has struggled to this point in his NFL career, his mobility may make him a more natural replacement than Winston for Dart in the Giants' system. If McCarthy eventually takes over as the starter in New York, he could be worth starting in the right matchups in two-quarterback fantasy formats.
