The Green Bay Packers will face the Chicago Bears in Week 18. 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.

Should You Start or Sit Jordan Love in Week 18?
Over his past six games, Jordan Love has had five touchdown passes and zero interceptions against the blitz (previously this season: five touchdowns against five interceptions). What we might be seeing is the maturation of a young quarterback, and Packers backers should be thrilled by this development when it comes to their team’s long-term trajectory.
In the short term, this maturity could raise Love’s floor while potentially lowering his ceiling a touch if he proves hesitant to cut loose the risk/reward passes. Green Bay didn’t need much from him in the Week 11 win over Chicago (17 pass attempts), and that’s the only reason to proceed with caution this weekend.
I fully expect the Packers to come out and try to earn the NFC’s sixth seed in this spot (they need a win and a Commanders loss); while I don’t think they ultimately get there, that level of motivation gives me the green light to rank Love as a lineup lock in all formats.
