Davis Mills vs Jordan LoveWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

Jordan Love is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 15.7 PPG to Davis Mills's 11.4 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 4.3-PPG advantage is real (15.7 to 11.4), and Jordan Love's 23 touchdowns show scoring upside. Davis Mills is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Moderate confidence: stats favor the leader, but matchup variance could flip this weekly.

Davis Mills vs Jordan Love: The Full Breakdown

Davis Mills and Jordan Love are both viable fantasy quarterbacks heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Davis Mills averaged 11.4 PPG across 6 games with the Houston Texans, while Jordan Love posted 15.7 PPG in 15 appearances for the Green Bay Packers.

A 4.3-PPG gap gives Jordan Love the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Davis Mills threw for 915 yards and 5 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.

One scheduling note: Davis Mills is off Week 8 and Jordan Love Week 11. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in quarterback for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Jordan Love at a discount because your league-mates undervalue quarterback production, do it. Davis Mills is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Davis Mills (age 27) is in his prime window. Peak production now with steady value for the next 3-4 seasons. Jordan Love (age 27) is in his prime window. Peak production now with steady value for the next 3-4 seasons.
