Jordan Love

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
