Jordan Love Fantasy

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Tom Silverstein thinks the Green Bay Packers have no choice now but to trade quarterback Jordan Love after signing Aaron Rodgers to a four-year, $200 million extension on Tuesday. The draft isn't strong at the QB position and the free-agent market is even worse. The Packers surprisingly took Love in the first round of the 2020 draft as the eventual successor to Rodgers, but he may not get that chance for another four years, and he has only two years left on his current deal. Love didn't see any action in his rookie year and played in parts of six games (one start) in 2021, throwing for 411 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions on 62 attempts. The 23-year-old could be intriguing for fantasy purposes, but only if he's dealt to a team that is in need of a starting QB.

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said it's "very doubtful" that he would take trade calls for quarterback Jordan Love. Future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers' future is in doubt heading into the new league year next month, which means the Packers must hold onto Love as insurance. However, if Rodgers chooses to return, perhaps Gutekunst's stance on Love changes. The controversial first-rounder in 2020 played in six games one start) in his second NFL season and went 36-for-62 for 411 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. The 23-year-old didn't look particularly great in his lone start against the Kansas City Chiefs, but he could be thrust into a starting role in 2022 if Rodgers leaves.

The Green Bay Packers placed quarterback Jordan Love on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst. Love is believed to be vaccinated, so he could be available in Week 14 on Sunday against the Chicago Bears if he's asymptomatic and returns two negative tests 24 hours apart before then. Aaron Rodgers has been playing through a broken pinkie toe, but hopefully he'll come out of the bye week healthier. If Love doesn't gain clearance by Sunday, the Packers will likely elevate Kurt Benkert from the practice squad to the active roster to serve as Rodgers' backup. Love got the start in Week 9 when Rodgers was on the COVID-19 list and threw for only 190 yards with a TD and an interception in his first career start.
