Who Should I Start? Jordan Love or Shedeur Sanders

After suffering a concussion early in his team's Week 16 loss to the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love missed the final two games of the 2025 season. However, Love is off the injury report and ready to go for his team's Wild Card Weekend rematch against Chicago. The 27-year-old was very solid when healthy this season, completing 66.3% of his pass attempts for 3,381 yards, 23 touchdowns, and six interceptions. Love was also highly productive in the one full game he played against the Bears this season, completing 17 of 25 pass attempts for 234 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. Chicago's defense was generally a favorable matchup for quarterbacks throughout the regular season, allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to the position. Fantasy managers in playoff leagues may feel the need to be cautious about trusting Love coming off the injury, but he could be a sleeper option at the quarterback position in the first round of the postseason.

The Cleveland Browns liked what they saw from rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders in his first year in the NFL, but they also acknowledged that he has plenty to work on going into 2026, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. "He's still very much a work in progress, like many people," general manager Andrew Berry said. The 23-year-old fifth-rounder didn't make his NFL debut until Week 11 after fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel suffered a concussion. Sanders took over as the starter, though, and started the final seven games for Cleveland. He had his ups and downs, completing 59.2% of his passes for 1,353 yards, seven touchdowns, and nine interceptions while running for 153 yards and another score. Sanders showed enough athleticism and arm strength to at least put himself in the competition for the starting gig going into next season, where he's expected to compete with Deshaun Watson (Achilles) and Gabriel.
