Who Should I Start? Jordan Love or J.J. McCarthy

Sunday, December 7, 9:51 PM

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love had a highly efficient day in his team's Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears, completing 17 of 25 pass attempts for 234 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. The 27-year-old's 9.4 yards per pass attempt against Chicago was his best single-game mark since Week 8. Love is also on a touchdown-throwing tear, as he's now thrown for seven scores over the last two weeks. Across 13 games overall, Love has thrown for 3,028 yards, 22 touchdowns, and four picks. While Green Bay prefers to play a run-heavy offensive style, Love's ability to be efficient gives him a chance at solid fantasy production every week. He profiles as a borderline fantasy QB1 heading into a difficult Week 15 matchup on the road against the Denver Broncos.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy led his team to a 31-0 rout of the Commanders in Week 14 in a triumphant return from injury. He threw for 163 yards and three touchdowns in the win while adding 19 rushing yards on six carries as well. McCarthy completed 16 of his 23 pass attempts in one of his best performances of the season. This week, he'll be in a tougher matchup on the road against the Cowboys, but even though Dallas's defense has shown potential, they're still giving up a lot of points. The Vikings have a favorable few weeks ahead, so McCarthy can be an interesting play if you need a second QB for the rest of the season. His rushing potential and good pass-catching weapons give him good upside, even though he has struggled to reach his high ceiling throughout his first year as the team's starter.
