Who Should I Start? Jordan Love or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Friday, October 10, 4:05 PM

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love had an awesome game for fantasy managers who started him in Week 4 against Dallas, tossing three touchdown passes to wide receiver Romeo Doubs and piling up 337 passing yards. He'll look to continue that strong play in Week 6 when the Packers host the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. Love finished as fantasy's QB6 in Week 4, his first weekly finish as a top-ten quarterback since Week 6 of last season. It was also Love's first game with over 40 passing attempts since Week 4 of 2024. Passing volume isn't a regular thing for the Packers; it's more of an exception rather than the rule. If you're starting Love in Week 6, you're hoping the Bengals can score a bit, so the Packers get pushed to pass a bit more. Ultimately, Love is a viable starting quarterback for fantasy managers against a porous Bengals defense.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder) was removed from the final Week 6 injury report on Wednesday and will be active to face the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. Tracy will be returning from a two-game absence due to a dislocated right shoulder that he suffered in the Week 3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. It's good news for the Giants' offense, but Tracy's fantasy managers may want to temper expectations in his first game back. Rookie Cam Skattebo handled lead-back duties in Tracy's absence and is expected to be the preferred backfield option moving forward over Tracy. In the first three games of the year, Tracy averaged just 3.1 yards per carry for 68 yards on 22 rushing attempts. We'd recommend fading Tracy in fantasy in his first game back, especially in a poor matchup.
