Who Should I Start? Jordan Love or Tyler Shough

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Baltimore Ravens due to a concussion. Love sustained this concussion during their loss to the Bears last week and will need additional time ot pass through the league's protocol. While the second-stringer Malik Willis (shoulder/illness) has a questionable tag, Schefter noted that Willis is expected to get the starting nod. Before exiting last weekend early, Love went 8-for-13 with 77 yards. However, during Weeks 13 through 15, Love was a viable QB1 in standard formats, averaging 24.1 PPR points per game with an 8:3 TD:INT. Managers should view Willis as a high-end QB2 facing a weak Baltimore defense that has allowed the 12th-most PPR points to opposing QBs.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough completed 32 of 49 passes for 308 yards and a touchdown in Week 16's victory over the Jets. The performance marked career highs in both pass attempts and passing yards, while extending New Orleans' winning streak to three games. With a depleted backfield, the Saints leaned heavily on the passing game, throwing the ball at a 2:1 rate compared to rushing attempts (50 passes to 25 rushes). With no positive developments in the running back room ahead of a Week 17 matchup against the Titans, New Orleans could once again funnel the offense through the air. Shough shapes up as a strong streaming option against a Tennessee defense that allows the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.
