BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 52% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has secured a spot in the top 10 of his position for the past two weeks. The Utah State alum has completed at least 20 passes in eight of the last nine games, demonstrating improved ball control and an increasing number of touchdowns, enhancing his overall production.
Love has been absolutely balling out the last few weeks and fantasy managers need to take notice. He's thrown multiple touchdowns in three straight games and has two 20-point performances in back-to-back weeks. He was lights out against the Chargers in Week 11 and the Lions in Week 12.
In those two games, he collectively completed 49 of 73 passes for 590 yards and five touchdowns. He scored 20.9 and 26.6 fantasy points in those two contests, respectively. His fantasy performances in Weeks 9 and 10 weren't as good as the last two weeks, but fantasy managers shouldn't make the mistake of thinking Love wasn't playing well. In those games, he completed 41 of 66 passes for 517 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions.
The Packers play the Chiefs in Week 13 and while the Chiefs' defense has been very tough against opposing quarterbacks this season, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City offense could put the Green Bay offense into a situation where they need to chase points. After the Chiefs game, the Packers close out their fantasy season against the Giants, Buccaneers, Panthers, and Vikings. These four teams rank 15th, fifth, 30th, and 17th in points to opposing quarterbacks this season, respectively.
