2025 Fantasy Outlook
Love and the Packers' passing game regressed last season thanks to injuries and a new emphasis on the rushing attack. Love missed two weeks after suffering an MCL sprain Week 1, and he later suffered a groin injury Week 8 and an elbow injury Week 18. He finished with 83 rushing yards, down from 247 in 2023. The arrival of Josh Jacobs (301 carries) cost Love pass attempts as the Packers increased their rushing rate by nearly 10 percentage points over 2023, up to 51.2 percent (third-highest). Love at least was reasonably efficient, with 8.0 YPA ranking fifth, and he went deep plenty -- 14.4 percent of his attempts traveled 20-plus yards (2nd). But he lost about six attempts per game compared to 2023, and he won't necessarily get those back this season. The passing game, though, could be more explosive after adding WR Matthew Golden and his 4.29 speed with the 23rd overall pick of the draft. Golden may quickly prove to be an upgrade on fellow deep threat Christian Watson, who likely will miss a chunk of the season after suffering an ACL tear in January. The Packers' offensive line looks about average, but they have good depth at the skill positions with Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs at wide receiver -- joined by Golden and third-round pick Savion Williams -- and third-year pros Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave at tight end. Green Bay also has one of the league's better offensive minds in head coach Matt LaFleur, who has proven highly competent at adjusting his schemes and gameplans to fit his personnel. Love probably won't have enough rushing production or passing volume to be a regular starter in single-QB leagues, but he should throw enough touchdown passes to be a solid QB2. Read Past Outlooks

May take snaps this week
Coach Matt LaFleur said the Packers are hopeful that Love (thumb) will be able to take snaps when the team reconvenes for practice Tuesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Love had surgery on Aug. 12 to address a ligament injury in his left thumb and was able to practice on a limited basis as of this past Monday. Green Bay predictably held him out of its final two preseason contests, allowing backup QB Malik Willis to get some run with the starters in Saturday's exhibition win against the Seahawks in particular. There's little concern about Love's availability for a Week 1 matchup with the Lions on Sunday, Sept. 7, and increasing his team drills this coming week would put him on pace to do so.

Just as panic was setting in last season, Love proved he was the Packers' next franchise quarterback. The first eight weeks after Love took over for Aaron Rodgers were disconcerting, to say the least, for Packers fans. He had an 11:8 TD:INT and 78.2 passer rating and the team was 2-5. But things started to change Week 9, and in the last 10 games Love threw 21 TD passes to just three interceptions as the Packers went 7-3 to make the playoffs. In that span, he ranked fourth in the NFL in completion percentage (68.7), sixth in on-target percentage (75.9), sixth in TD percentage (6.1) and eighth in YPA (7.7). On attempts of 20-plus yards, his 20 completions were second only to Dak Prescott’s 26 as he went deep on 11.0 percent of his attempts (11th). Love became the third QB in NFL history with 4,000-plus passing yards, 30-plus TD passes and a playoff win in his first season as a starter. The Packers were the youngest team to win a postseason game in NFL history, led by four wideouts and two tight ends who topped 300 yards as rookies or second-year pros. The team had a quiet offseason apart from replacing RB Aaron Jones with Josh Jacobs, banking on continued improvement from the talented young core and an 11-player draft class that includes two top-100 picks for the offense (OT Jordan Morgan, 25th; RB MarShawn Lloyd, 88th). Love has no shortage of weapons and also adds a bit of rushing value (247 yards, four TDs), giving him a chance to repeat last year's QB5 finish, at least.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Plans on being ready Week 1
Love opted to have surgery on his left thumb Tuesday in order to avoid going into the season with any nagging physical issues, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Love dealt with multiple injury issues in 2024, which he explained was the impetus for going under the knife after sustaining the injury in Saturday's preseason opener against the Jets. The procedure repaired Love's ulnar collateral ligament, and he has not thrown since the surgery, but the timing of it is expected to allow Love to be ready for Green Bay's Week 1 game against the Lions.
