Who Should I Start? Jordan Love or Kyren Williams

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is coming off his best fantasy outing of the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he looks to carry that over in Week 9 as the Packers host the Carolina Panthers. Love was the overall QB1 last week, throwing for 360 yards and three touchdowns in their Sunday Night Football win in Pittsburgh. Despite that huge game, it's hard to imagine Love stringing together multiple fantasy-worthy games, as his last two back-to-back top-12 games came in Week 4 and Week 5 of the 2024 season. But we know Love has the potential to put up yards and fantasy points each week. It's also possible the Packers lean more on the run as the Panthers' defense is one week removed from letting Buffalo's James Cook run wild for 215 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. In this matchup at home against Carolina, consider Love a low-end QB1 with some boom-or-bust potential.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams will look to bounce back as the team returns from its bye week. This week, the Rams take on the New Orleans Saints, who have struggled on both sides of the ball. This matchup comes at a perfect time for Williams, who was relatively quiet in the Rams' win over the Jaguars prior to the bye. This was a direct result of Los Angeles taking an early lead and leaving a reduced workload for several starters, but it still hurt his fantasy performance nonetheless. Although a matchup against the Saints could put Williams in a similar situation, we can't ignore how poor the New Orleans run defense has been. The Saints are allowing the seventh-most rushing yards to opposing running backs in 2025, putting Williams in a position to feast if he handles at least 15 touches or so. The 25-year-old is a fantasy RB2 with RB1 upside.
