Who Should I Start? Jordan Love or Michael Penix Jr.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love put up a lackluster performance at one of the most inopportune times during the Packers' 22-10 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. Love was 20-of-33 passing for 212 yards but threw three interceptions that potentially took points off the board when points were at a premium all game. The first came on a deep shot to Dontayvion, the second an ill-advised throw down the middle with Zack Baun in perfect position to make the pick. The third sealed the game late in the fourth quarter. Love also added 10 yards on two rushing attempts but overall, this was a disappointing outing. With Love entering his sixth season, Love will be a fringe starting fantasy quarterback for 2025.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. has been establishing a strong connection with starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. during the offseason. Adnan Ikic of The Falcoholic noted that the tight end has been Penix's golf partner, and their connection has already begun to show on the practice field. Pitts has been targeted a lot during the early stages of training camp and is emerging as a go-to option for Penix in the passing attack. After tallying 1,026 yards in his rookie campaign, the former first-round pick has struggled to live up to his draft capital. In 2024, Pitts scored a career-high four touchdowns but caught just 47 passes for a mere 602 receiving yards. However, with Darnell Mooney (shoulder) in danger of missing the start of the season, Pitts could be in a prime position to enjoy a strong start to the campaign. He is worth a look as a high-upside TE2 in all formats.
