Jordan Love Considered Week 9 Fantasy Fade Despite Recent Strong Performance

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is a Week 9 fantasy fade consideration despite a strong 28.3-point performance against the Steelers last Sunday night, where he threw for 360 yards and three touchdowns. This was one of only three games this season where Love exceeded 16 fantasy points, with his big outings coming against historically soft quarterback matchups (Commanders, Cowboys, Steelers). Facing a Carolina Panthers defense that is spotty but generally unfriendly to 'fringier' starters, Love is projected for a lower-volume, run-first game with 13-15 fantasy points. While he remains a fringe QB1 option due to bye weeks and injuries, fantasy managers seeking higher upside are advised to explore other streaming options.
