Packers quarterback Jordan Love played the preseason opener in each of the last three seasons and it looks like the team will take the same approach this summer.

Scoring Zone's Take
For fantasy purposes, this doesn't move Love's draft stock in either direction. He remains a solid QB2/streaming-caliber option or a low-end QB1 in the range you likely already had him, given his weapons in Green Bay's offense. Treat this as confirmation that he'll be the unquestioned starter, which is the baseline assumption you should already be drafting around. Don't overreact to preseason snaps — most starting quarterbacks in this spot get a token series or two, and it tells you little about performance or role for the regular season.
Action: no change needed. Keep Love in your current draft tier and don't feel pressure to reach or fade based on this news. If you're stashing him as a backup/streamer in deeper leagues, this is a hold, not an add or drop situation. Confidence here is high on the fact itself (both sources confirm it with full certainty), but the fantasy impact is neutral — this is background noise rather than actionable intel. Monitor how many snaps he actually plays Thursday and whether any starters get pulled early, but don't build draft-day strategy around a preseason appearance for your top target under center.
