Who Should I Start? Joshua Dobbs or Jordan Love

Saturday, August 16, 6:36 PM

New England Patriots quarterback Joshua Dobbs completed 11 of his 16 pass attempts for 106 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Saturday's preseason win over the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran backup looked solid, albeit against the Vikings' second-team defense. With only Drake Maye and Ben Wooldridge alongside him in the Patriots' quarterback room, Dobbs is in line to earn the backup job ahead of Week 1. The 30-year-old has seen increased opportunities over the last few seasons, including the 2023 campaign in which he threw for 13 touchdowns with the Vikings and Arizona Cardinals. He spent 2024 backing up Brock Purdy in San Francisco but did attempt 47 passes through two games (one start). If Maye were to suffer an injury, Dobbs possesses the experience, mobility, and arm needed to keep the Patriots competitive down the stretch.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has had some spike weeks, but his overall fantasy production has disappointed. Love looks to right the ship this week in a tough matchup at home against the Philadelphia Eagles. After Week 8 when Love was the overall QB1 and scored 28.3 fantasy points, he followed that up with a dud game in Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers. Love was 26-of-37 for 273 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. His 10 fantasy points were his worst fantasy production of the season, and it doesn't get any easier against the Eagles. Philadelphia allows the fourth-fewest touchdown passes as well as the ninth-lowest yards per attempt this season to quarterbacks. Consider Love a low-end streaming fantasy quarterback in Week 10.
