The Inexperienced Bay Packers may have an entire new look within the 2023 season. That would have fantasy managers questioning simply methods to strategy this roster earlier than their drafts.

With Aaron Rodgers now a member of the New York Jets, in line with ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Jordan Love Period is upon us in Inexperienced Bay. Can he be trusted in fantasy?

In all probability not. (At the least not straight away.)

The problem right here is pattern measurement. Love has appeared in 10 video games in his profession however has solely made one begin as a rookie again in 2021. In that sport—a 13-7 loss to the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs—he completed 19-of-34 for 190 yards, a landing and an interception, taking one sack. He additionally rushed 5 occasions for 23 yards.

In complete, the 24-year-old has thrown for 606 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions throughout his profession. So, how precisely can we decide whether or not he is worthwhile as a fantasy choice?

It is simpler to search out warning indicators than indications of a breakout season incoming. The Packers do not have a ton of weapons within the passing sport except for Christian Watson. Allen Lazard, their main receiver from final season, is becoming a member of Rodgers on the Jets. The Packers have not been notably busy in free company.

Early in his profession, when Rodgers was referred to as upon to spell Brett Favre, he flashed hints of brilliance. We have not seen as a lot of that from Love in his transient cameos.

At this level, Love is finest thought of a shot-in-the-dark QB2 consideration. Perhaps he’ll shock everybody and turn into a sneaky QB1 and feel-good story. Extra doubtless than not, he’ll undergo some rising pains.

As for the remainder of the offense, Watson is the one participant with official big-play potential, which ought to preserve him within the flex ranks subsequent season. However once more, if you cannot belief the quarterback, it is exhausting to belief the receiver, particularly one coming into his second season. Watson could take a step ahead, however not sufficient to anticipate him to enter top-25 territory at wideout.

Past that, the one gamers value trusting on this offense are operating backs Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon. The previous stays a low-end RB2, whereas the latter has breakout potential if he will get an even bigger workload. Regardless, Dillon is a strong flex choice for now.
