Jordan Love has been pretty awesome in 2024, despite the fact that he throws a lot of interceptions.

But he missed some of last week's game with an injury and was limited in practice heading into Week 9 against the Detroit Lions. Plus, there's rain in the forecast for Green Bay, so Lambeau is going to be a muddy mess.

Put it all together and you've got a risky thing going on here in fantasy football. Should you start Jordan Love in Week 9?

Here's my thought: I think if you have another good streaming option -- say, Kirk Cousins? -- you mitigate the risky and keep Love on your bench in case it's a very run-heavy game in the rain.

But if it's a 2QB league? Or a Superflex league? I'm willing to take the risk and assume that Love will sling the ball enough to make it worth a start. He's that good, even while hobbled.
