Jordan Love

Jordan Love finished 2025 as the number 15 quarterback in total PPR scoring — but the number 21 quarterback in PPR per game among passers with at least six starts. That gap tells the story in one sentence: Love was a quietly efficient real-life quarterback, but for fantasy purposes he was a back-end starter who rarely tilted a week. He played 15 games, the Packers went 9-7-1 and snuck into the playoffs as the seven seed, and Love steered an offense that ranked fourth in the league in total offensive expected points added. The problem for fantasy managers? 'Steady hand' and 'fantasy difference-maker' are not the same job description.

Now let's dig into the numbers, because this is where the disconnect lives. Love threw for 3,381 yards, 23 touchdowns, and just 6 interceptions on 439 attempts — a 66.3 percent completion rate against an expected mark of 62.5, putting his completion percentage over expectation at plus 3.8, fifth-best among qualified passers. His adjusted net yards per attempt of 7.4 also ranked fifth. Top-five quarterback play by the real-football metrics. The volume just wasn't there: 23 passing scores ranked 14th, he added zero rushing touchdowns on 47 carries, and he averaged 15.7 PPR per game. The week-to-week chart is the kicker. Love cleared 25 PPR only three times all year, and posted single-digit outings in four different games — including a 3.8-point dud at Chicago in Week 16 and a 7.1 against Minnesota in a game the Packers won 23 to 6. He wasn't boom-or-bust so much as quietly capped — the floor was usable, the ceiling rarely showed up.

The shape of Love's fantasy season lives in one Week 13 stat line: 234 yards, 4 touchdowns, no interceptions in a win over the Lions, good for 25.8 PPR. That was the version managers were chasing — surgical, efficient, multi-touchdown — and it showed up maybe three or four times across 15 games. The rest was 180-yard, one-touchdown afternoons on a run-leaning offense where Josh Jacobs vacuumed up the rushing scores with 13, fourth-most in the league. Love did his real-football job at a top-five level. The fantasy job just wasn't on the menu.
