Jordan Love vs Malik Willis: Who Should You Start?
Jordan Love and Malik Willis are both viable fantasy quarterbacks heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Jordan Love averaged 16.1 PPG across 15 games with the Green Bay Packers, while Malik Willis posted 12.8 PPG in 4 appearances for the Miami Dolphins.
A 3.3-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. Jordan Love threw for 3381 yards and 23 touchdowns, while Malik Willis posted 422 yards and 3 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.
Jordan Love has his bye in Week 10, and Malik Willis rests in Week 6. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at quarterback for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
