    Should I Draft Jordan Love? Fantasy Outlook for the Packers’ QB in 2024

    Selected as the heir apparent to former franchise quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay Packers selected Jordan Love with the 26th pick of the 2020 NFL Draft. After biding his time, Love became the team’s starting QB in 2024.

    Love was a gift and a curse, as he produced a tale of two seasons under center for the Packers. Let’s examine his fantasy football outlook for 2024 and whether he’s a good pick for your fantasy team at his ADP.

    Jordan Love’s Fantasy Profile for the 2024 NFL Season

    Love was an average quarterback over the first half of the season (nine games). Within that time frame, he was the 32nd-ranked QB in completion percentage (59.6%) and produced 6.6 yards per attempt, the 24th-best in the NFL, according to TruMedia.

    Packers head coach Matt LaFleur must have kept the kid gloves on his inexperienced quarterback because, after Week 9, we saw a completely different side of Love.

    In the second half of the season, Love ranked sixth overall in completion percentage (68.0%) and 12th in yards per attempt (7.6). He’ll get to command an offense that produced the fourth-most touchdowns last year. With his plethora of weapons, we should see more of the same in Green Bay for the 2024 NFL season.

    Love also brings mobility to the table for our fantasy teams. Last season, Love produced 50 rushing attempts, which was 12.3 above the NFL’s league average. Drafting a mobile quarterback adds value to your fantasy team and is a vital draft strategy to help elevate it.

    Love can struggle with turnovers, as he ranked 21st overall with 11 interceptions last season. However, we see that negative as a positive because it shows that he’s not a game manager. He has playmaker tendencies in his arsenal.

    Love’s fantasy outlook is also dependent on the health of his wide receiver Christian Watson. Fortunately, he has implemented new techniques this offseason to help his oft-nagging hamstring injuries.

    If Watson has figured out the hamstring issues, the Packers’ offense will elevate to new levels. Opposing defenses will no longer be able to crowd the box to stop the run, nor will they be able to double any of the wide receivers Love can throw to in a given play.

    Watson will help Love dissect opponents, elevate his fantasy production, and help us win in our leagues.

    Is Love a Good Fantasy Pick?

    Love is a solid target for your fantasy team. He plays with a potent offense, provides sneaky cheat-code abilities, and can sling the rock with the best of them. Even the bye week fits within an optimal fantasy football strategy, as Green Bay’s bye comes during Week 10.

    If you’re wondering who to target on the Packers, the answer is their QB, who helped engineer a top-five-ranked offense in 2023.
