Should I start Jordan Love or Josh Jacobs in Week 7?
Updated Oct 21, 5:26 AM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Jordan Love: he has been on the field this season, 99 percent of the snaps, and Josh Jacobs has no snap on record yet. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap
- Board size303 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Jordan Love, and the board ranks him 74th overall on the rest of his evidence.
In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 21.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Josh Jacobs, and the board ranks him 75th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Jordan Love's market-based projection is 17.5 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 16th highest figure of the 199 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Josh Jacobs is 4.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 11 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Josh Jacobs's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
This season through Week 6
Through Week 6, Jordan Love has been on the field for 99 percent of GB snaps, dropped back 240 times and thrown 8.8 air yards an attempt.
He has been sacked or hit on 46 of 240 dropbacks and scrambled 1 time.
In Week 4 against TB he completed 22 of 30 passes for 197 yards, threw 2 touchdowns and 1 interception and ran 1 time for 4 yards.
In Week 5 against CHI he completed 25 of 31 passes for 367 yards, threw 2 touchdowns and 0 interceptions and ran 1 time for 6 yards.
In Week 6 against DAL he completed 23 of 41 passes for 276 yards, threw 1 touchdown and 1 interception and ran 2 times for 14 yards.
The usage feed holds no snap or target counts for Josh Jacobs this season.
Their 2025 seasons
In 2025 Jordan Love played 15 games and scored 241.1 PPR points, 16.1 a game, finishing QB15.
He threw for 3381 yards on 439 attempts with 23 touchdowns and 6 interceptions, and ran for 199 yards and 0 touchdowns.
That came to 29.3 attempts a game at 7.7 yards an attempt.
He was on the field for 94 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
In 2025 Josh Jacobs played 15 games and scored 237.1 PPR points, 15.8 a game, finishing RB13.
He carried 234 times for 929 yards and 13 touchdowns, and caught 36 of 44 targets for 282 more yards.
That came to 15.6 carries a game at 4.0 yards a carry and 2.4 catches a game.
He was on the field for 59 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Both were available for 15 games that season.
Side by side
In 2025 Jordan Love scored 16.1 PPR points a game and Josh Jacobs 15.8, 0.3 a game between them.
Jordan Love finished QB15 and Josh Jacobs RB13, which are two different ladders.
Jordan Love is a quarterback and Josh Jacobs a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
Both are off in Week 11, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.
What would change the answer
Josh Jacobs has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
