Who Should I Start? Jordan Love or Kyle Trask

Wednesday, November 26, 5:24 PM

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has been a much better real-life quarterback than a fantasy option this season, but he will look to right the ship against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving in Week 13. Love has had just 24 and 21 pass attempts in the last two weeks and has averaged just 163 passing yards and less than a touchdown per game in his last three games. That's not going to get it done from a fantasy perspective. With Love rarely approaching any sort of fantasy points ceiling and the Packers very content to run the ball, it crushes any upside for the passing game. Even with multiple members of the Lions' secondary banged up on a defense that's allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, Love is more of a QB2 for two-quarterback fantasy leagues rather than a starter in single-quarterback leagues for Week 13.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers plan to release quarterback Kyle Trask (shoulder), a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Trask will revert to Injured Reserve due to a shoulder issue and then work out a settlement or release in order to look for a new team. It means that veteran Teddy Bridgewater will open the 2025 season in Tampa as the primary backup behind starter Baker Mayfield, with undrafted free agent Connor Bazelak serving as the QB3. Trask, 27, was a second-round pick (64th overall) in the 2021 NFL draft out of Florida. He never started a game for the Bucs in his three seasons and appeared in only seven games, going just 4-for-11 passing for 28 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Trask will now be looking to get healthy and latch on with another organization and compete for a depth role.
