Jordan Love Fantasy

The Green Bay Packers put rookie quarterback Jordan Love on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. It's unclear if Love actually tested positive for coronavirus or if he was just a high-risk close contact of linebacker Krys Barnes, who tested positive after playing in Thursday night's game against the 49ers. The 22-year-old from Utah State was a surprise first-round selection this year at 26th overall, but Love has yet to be active and is the team's No. 3 QB behind Aaron Rodgers and Tim Boyle. Love could still be Green Bay's signal-caller of the future once Rodgers is done, but for now he's just a developmental project and a stash candidate in dynasty/keeper leagues.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is being encouraged by head coach Matt LaFleur to start playing with more confidence. I just told him, Hey, you cant play hesitant. You cant play tentative,' LaFleur said. We tell the quarterbacks, Indecisive equals ineffective. And sometimes, I know a lot is going through his mind right now, but sometimes youve just got to shut it off and let your instincts take over and really go out and rip the ball." The rookie quarterback is facing an unenviable task of learning an NFL offense after zero on-field work during the offseason due to COVID-19. He also is facing the scrutiny of possibly replacing quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the near future for a storied franchise. The learning curve will be steep for Love over the next few weeks.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that rookie quarterback Jordan Love has "a lot to clean up right now" when asked about his impressions of the young signal-caller so far in camp. "Hes a young quarterback that is learning a new system, and just how specific we are with the footwork. I think that takes time. But I am pleased at how he attacks it on a daily basis. I think he's a really intelligent kid," LaFleur said. Green Bay shocked the world by trading up in the first round of the draft to take Love as their QB of the future as the heir apparent to Aaron Rodgers. There's plenty of athleticism and potential in the long term, but Love will need to improve his accuracy, mechanics and decision-making if he has any chance at unseating Rodgers in the next few seasons. He's purely a dynasty stash for now in fantasy.
