Who Should I Start? Jordan Love or Trey Lance

Wednesday, September 10, 4:41 PM

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is a low-end quarterback streamer for Thursday Night's Week 2 matchup against the Washington Commanders. As fantasy football's QB17 in Week 1, Love only had 22 pass attempts during Green Bay's 27-13 win over the Detroit Lions. He didn't have to do a lot of heavy lifting, but still threw two touchdown passes while falling just short of 200 yards passing. After the Packers' Week 10 bye, Green Bay was a very run-focused team where Love played game manager, which wasn't great for fantasy. The Packers looked like a Super Bowl contender on the defensive side of the ball in Week 1, which doesn't bode well for fantasy production if opposing teams are not pushing them. Love can be treated as a QB2 in Superflex formats and a low-end streamer in single-quarterback leagues for Week 2.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Trey Lance started the second quarter of the team's 27-13 preseason win against the New Orleans Saints and eventually led a 14-play, 85-yard scoring drive towards the end of the half. The 25-year-old, a former first-round pick, got it done more with his legs than his arm, completing seven of 14 passes for 55 yards through the air while rushing for 48 yards and a touchdown on seven carries. Although he was up and down with his accuracy and had a fumbled snap, Lance looked confident and poised, building off the momentum he gained in the Hall of Fame Game last week. Overall, Lance easily outplayed backup Taylor Heinicke and made a strong case to be Justin Herbert's primary backup this season.
