Who Should I Start? Lamar Jackson or Jordan Love

Thursday, July 17, 7:17 PM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson finished the 2024 season with career-highs in passing yards (4,172), completions (316) and touchdown passes (41) while throwing only four interceptions on 474 attempts. He added 915 yards on the ground and passed Michael Vick for all-time rushing yards by a QB. Jackson is scary good as a passer and a runner, which is why he'll be one of the first QBs taken in fantasy drafts in the early rounds. BaltimoreRavens.com's Clifton Brown writes that Jackson is set up for even more success in 2025 going into his third season with Todd Monken running the offense. Baltimore became the first team in NFL history with 40 passing TDs and 20 rushing TDs in the same year in 2024. They were also the first team to throw for at least 4,000 yards and rush for at least 3,000. There's the potential for Jackson to take his game to yet another level.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love put up a lackluster performance at one of the most inopportune times during the Packers' 22-10 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. Love was 20-of-33 passing for 212 yards but threw three interceptions that potentially took points off the board when points were at a premium all game. The first came on a deep shot to Dontayvion, the second an ill-advised throw down the middle with Zack Baun in perfect position to make the pick. The third sealed the game late in the fourth quarter. Love also added 10 yards on two rushing attempts but overall, this was a disappointing outing. With Love entering his sixth season, Love will be a fringe starting fantasy quarterback for 2025.
