Who Should I Start? Justin Herbert or Jordan Love

Sunday, December 21, 5:51 PM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 23 of his 29 pass attempts for 300 yards, two passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He also had eight rushing attempts, 42 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown. Herbert put together a phenomenal fantasy performance with three total touchdowns and zero turnovers. He also made an impact on the ground and led the Chargers to a key win in the midst of the playoff hunt. After four consecutive games where Herbert was less than 100% due to injury, it was very encouraging to see him bounce back in such a huge way. After Sunday's big outing, managers should trust Herbert as a solid QB1 option heading into Week 17, despite facing off against a strong Houston Texans defense.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (shoulder/concussion) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Love was forced from their Week 16 contest due to a concussion, but also carries an injury designation related to his left shoulder. In addition, the team's No. 2 QB, Malik Willis (shoulder/illness), is also listed as questionable, which could pave the way for third-stringer Clayton Tune (who is currently on the practice squad) to potentially make a start. Before exiting last weekend's contest, Love completed eight of his 13 passes for 77 yards. However, during Weeks 13 through 15, Love was quite productive, averaging a strong 24.1 PPR points per game with an 8:3 TD:INT. If Love can pass through the league's protocol, he would hold low-end QB1 value, facing an inconsistent Baltimore secondary that has allowed the 12th-most PPR points to opposing QBs this season.
