Jordan Love News
Tuesday, August 11, 7:47 AM
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that as of right now, quarterback Jordan Love will play in the team's preseason opener on Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers, although he said he reserves the right to change his mind, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN. LaFleur said there is "value in getting mentally prepared to go play a game." If Love does play on Thursday night, he likely won't be in the game for more than a couple of offensive series, and he probably won't be working with all of the team's offensive skill players. Going into his fourth year as the Packers' full-time QB, Love ranks 19th in RotoBaller's QB rankings for the 2026 season after throwing for 3,381 yards, 23 touchdowns, and six interceptions in 15 regular-season starts in 2025. Consistency has evaded the former first-rounder from Utah State, but there is still plenty of fantasy upside because of his success with the deep ball in Green Bay's offense. With better health from the entire Packers' offense this year, Love is an intriguing QB2 target with upside.

Trevor Lawrence News
Saturday, August 1, 6:25 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has had three different offensive coordinators in his five-year career, but entering his second season with Grant Udinski in that position and head coach Liam Coen calling plays, the continuity appears to be paying dividends. The team's editorial staff reports that through three days of training camp practices, Lawrence and the offense are "significantly ahead of where they were this time last season." Lawrence finished 2025 playing arguably the best football of his professional career, pacing as the fantasy QB1 over the final 10 weeks while earning MVP consideration, and early reports would indicate he's picked up right where he left off. The Jaguars boast one of the league's deepest groups of pass catchers, and with Coen unlocking his rushing abilities, as he had with Baker Mayfield in Tampa Bay, Lawrence has one of the highest ceilings at the position. In a year where waiting to select a quarterback makes as much sense as ever, Lawrence is a player to target in the later rounds of 2026 drafts, currently coming off the board around QB11.
