Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love was a popular mid-round quarterback draft pick this year. The former Utah State star had a solid Week 1 performance against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Love completed only 50% of his pass attempts but finished the game with 260 yards, two touchdowns, and 16.4 fantasy points. Unfortunately, he couldn’t finish the Week 1 contest in Brazil.
The star quarterback suffered an MCL sprain on the final drive against the Eagles. Thankfully, Love didn’t suffer a season-ending injury. However, when will he return to the lineup? Let’s dive into it.

When Is Jordan Love Coming Back?
Love missed the Week 2 win over the Indianapolis Colts and last week’s victory over the Tennessee Titans. Reportedly, he almost played in Week 3 but the Packers wanted to play it save with the franchise quarterback. However, Love could return to the lineup this week in a critical NFC North divisional matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Should I Start Jordan Love In Week 4?
Hopefully, the star quarterback is back in the lineup this week. However, should fantasy players start him against the Vikings? Minnesota’s defense has been one of the best in the NFL over the first three weeks, giving up only 10 points per game despite facing the San Francisco 49ers and Houston Texans in their past two contests.
Furthermore, the Vikings have surrendered only 10.6 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, the seventh-fewest in the NFL. They haven’t given up more than one passing touchdown in any game this year. Yet, Love played well against the division rivals last season.
Last year, he averaged 242.5 passing yards, two touchdowns, and 21.5 fantasy points per game against Minnesota. While the star quarterback is coming off a significant injury, fantasy players should feel confident starting him as a mid-range QB1 in Week 4.
