Week 4 at Buccaneers, Sun Oct 4, 1:00 PM ET 23rd vs. QBs, tough
Jordan Love Rest-of-Season Outlook
Efficient QB2 with streaming weeks
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished QB15 last season at 16.1 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's QB16 at 17.9 PPR points per game, against 16.1 over 15 games last season (QB15). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 23rd of 41 in passing volume (29.3 attempts per game), 2nd of 41 in efficiency (0.24 EPA per play) and 24th of 41 in rushing (13.3 rush yards per game). His points come from his efficiency. Rushing is the soft spot. Matthew Golden and Christian Watson are his top two targets.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Tyrod Taylor next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
The next favorable matchups are the Cowboys in Week 6 (3rd against QBs) and the Lions in Week 7 (1st against QBs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Love's underlying play has never been sharper. In 2025 he posted a 0.238 EPA per dropback with a 48.9% success rate and a 5.5 CPOE, all career bests, while trimming his interceptions to six on 439 attempts and pushing his on-target rate to 77.4%. The problem isn't the throwing; it's the math. That workload finished as QB13 with 235.1 fantasy points, and his three-year scoring rank has bounced from QB7 (2023) to QB19 (2024) almost entirely on volume swings.
Green Bay's run-leaning, ball-control approach keeps games tidy and keeps Love off the QB1 board. He chips in modest rushing (199 yards, zero scores in 2025) but no longer provides the four-touchdown ground spike from his breakout year. Treat him as a high-end QB2 you can grab late: the efficiency and 23-plus touchdown floor are bankable, and any uptick in attempts unlocks legitimate top-12 weeks.
