Fantasy Football Outlook: Will Jordan Love Play Week 4?
Jordan Love (knee) expected to be active Sunday
Jordan Love is reportedly expected to be active for Sunday’s game against the Vikings after being sidelined the past two weeks.
Fantasy Impact
Love was able to practice all of last week as well, but Green Bay wound up sitting him one more game. The Packers went 2-0 with Malik Willis under center and head into a crucial divisional matchup against the undefeated Vikings on Sunday.

Jordan Love (knee) officially questionable for Week 4
Jordan Love (knee) is officially questionable for Week 4’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Fantasy Impact
As expected, Love will officially carry a questionable tag heading into the weekend. He was limited at practice all week, and it seems like he has a true 50/50 shot of playing in the divisional matchup against Minnesota. If he’s active, that will be great news for all of Green Bay’s skill-position players in a tough matchup against the Vikings.

Jordan Love (knee) officially limited Thursday
Jordan Love (knee) was officially limited at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
As expected, Love was able to log another practice session on Thursday. He was limited, but he was practicing in pads and is seemingly in the process of being ramped up. He has a very real shot at playing in Week 4, which would spell good things for Green Bay’s offense in a matchup against a tough Vikings’ defense.

Jordan Love (knee) officially limited Wednesday
Jordan Love (knee) was officially limited at Green Bay’s practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Love was able to practice in a limited fashion on Wednesday. The team is trying to slowly build him up to a return to play, and they want to be as cautious as they can in that process. If he plays in Week 4, fantasy managers should consider starting someone like Jayden Reed, who will see a significant uptick in value if the star QB is back on the field for Week 4.

What the Experts Are Saying
I expect Love to make his return to the huddle in Week 4. In his only action this year, he was the QB11 for the week. Among 35 qualifying quarterbacks, he is 12th in yards per attempt and 11th in fantasy points per dropback, but that’s where the good times end. Among that sample, he also has the second-lowest CPOE and the third-highest off-target rate. Now, take into account this is a one-game sample, so let’s not get too crazy. This isn’t the prettiest matchup for Love to make his return to the huddle, but Green Bay needs him against this tough Brian Flores defense. Minnesota has held passers to the fourth-lowest EPA per dropback, the fifth-lowest success rate per dropback, and the 12th-lowest yards per attempt. In true Flores fashion, Minnesota ranks fourth in pressure rate and sixth in blitz rate. Last year, Love was amazing against the blitz, with the second-highest passer grade and the third-highest big-time throw rate. We’ll see if he’s mobile enough in the pocket to buy time against the blitz.
