Carson Wentz vs Jordan LoveWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

Jordan Love is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 15.7 PPG to Carson Wentz's 14.1 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

Jordan Love is the better fantasy play this season.

Jordan Love has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 1.6-PPG advantage is real (15.7 to 14.1), and Jordan Love's 23 touchdowns show scoring upside. Carson Wentz is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.

Carson Wentz vs Jordan Love: The Full Breakdown

Two quarterbacks who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Carson Wentz (Minnesota Vikings) finished the 2025 season averaging 14.1 fantasy points per game in 5 games. Jordan Love (Green Bay Packers) came in at 15.7 PPG over 15 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Jordan Love carries a 1.6-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Carson Wentz threw for 1216 yards and 6 touchdowns, while Jordan Love posted 3381 yards and 23 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Carson Wentz sits Week 6 while Jordan Love is off Week 11. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Carson Wentz (age 33) is on the back end of his prime. Strong now, but dynasty value declines year over year. Jordan Love (age 27) is in his prime window. Peak production now with steady value for the next 3-4 seasons.
