Jordan Love has looked spectacular so far for the Green Bay Packers. In the first two weeks of the regular season, Jordan Love has 396 passing yards with six touchdowns. Not to mention he has no interceptions. From a fantasy standpoint, six touchdowns in two games is a very promising sign. This begs the question if Jordan Love could finish as a top 10 fantasy quarterback?

Jordan Love is on pace for a Great Season

As of now Jordan Love is on pace for 51 passing touchdowns. Now this probably won’t happen but even if he got somewhere even remotely close; he would have great fantasy numbers. His low yardage has been a concern in the first two weeks, but as time goes on those numbers should go up. Jordan Love will start to be put in situations where he has to throw the ball more due to opposing teams fire power.

Playing the Lions and Vikings twice a year will help. Battling how powered offenses like those will keep Love on the field and boost his yardage. As of now, Love leads the NFL in passer rating (118.8) and already has two games with three touchdown passes. The way this offense is ran, it seems like Love will continue to have success throwing touchdowns.

Green Bay Packers Young Talent will Continue to Improve

The biggest surprise of the NFL season so far has been the performance of the Packers skill players on offense. Tight End Luke Musgrave has been a solid security blanket for Jordan Love in the early weeks. Second Round Pick Jayden Reed has been a great slot option for the Packers and caught two touchdowns in the week 2 loss to Atlanta. Dontayvion Wicks has should flashes of great hands and getting open in space when his quarterback has needed. These three rookies have shown flashes and will keep getting better.

Romeo Doubs had a solid week one with two touchdowns and will hopefully continue to grow as well. This offense has ran without Christian Watson who broke out as a big time playmaker last season. Once Watson comes back from his hamstring injury, This offense should continue to get more explosive.

As this offense gets healthier and continues to improve; Jordan Loves numbers should only get better.

Other Top tier Quarterbacks have Struggled

Big time fantasy quarterbacks such as Joe Burrow and Justin Fields have struggled this year. This gives opportunity to Jordan Love to sneak into the top 10 fantasy numbers based on his hot start. Burrow will most likely start to play better but Fields has looked very bad this year. Jordan Love could turn into a savior for your fantasy team if you have one of these quarterbacks.
