The Green Bay Packers will face the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Jordan Love.
Is Jordan Love Playing in Week 16?
Love is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.
We’ll continue to monitor the Packers’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Jordan Love in Week 16?
The Saints’ pass defense is their strength (inside the top 10 in passer rating and pass touchdown rate), and with the Packers’ run game peaking, this could be a physical domination similar to what we saw from Green Bay in Seattle last week.
While I think that has the potential to cap Jordan Love’s ceiling (only threw 27 passes in Week 15), it does create a situation where efficiency due to single coverage is also projectable. That is why I think Love can give us his first top-10 finish since Week 6.
Last week, with Josh Jacobs bloodying the nose of the Seahawks, Love was able to get four of his teammates 3-5 receptions. If he spreads the ball around like that, asking for 250 yards and a few touchdowns is plenty reasonable.
