What the expected-points record, the coverage data and the market say he is worth at 139.4 overall.
Jordan Love scored 265.16 fantasy points in 2025. The volume he earned was worth 265.3. That gap of 0.1 points is the single most important thing to understand before drafting him at 139.4 overall.
Rather than reading a season average, it is worth finding the point the season actually turned. Our shift detector flags in-season changes large enough to clear a statistical threshold, then asks what moved around them.
The largest single move was Week 10: passing yards went down from 258.9 to 187.1, a 27.7% change, at 2.02 standard deviations. The cause was structural — the offence collapsed. He also missed Weeks 5, 17, 18.
Year over year the engine classifies 2025 as a breakout the underlying work supports. That is the label to carry into the projection, because it separates a player who lost snaps from one who kept them and converted worse.
He finished 16.57 points per game on 48 targets — a 11.7% jump on his 2024 rate with GB. Every part of that is real and none of it is in dispute.
What is worth separating is how much of it he earned. Expected points strip out the finishing and ask a narrower question: given the targets he drew, where they came from on the field, and how far downfield they travelled, what was that usage worth? For 2025 the answer was 265.3 points — 16.6 per game. He scored 0.1 FEWER than that, a 0.1% shortfall.
3 of his 15 games produced 25 or more points: Week 4 against DAL (26.28), Week 8 against PIT (28.3), Week 13 against DET (25.76). Strip them and the remaining 12 games average 12.9.
Spike weeks win fantasy games and a player who produces them is more valuable than one who never does — he is a ceiling play with real weeks off. 4 games came in under 10 points, including Week 9 against CAR (9.02) and Week 10 against PHI (7.84).
The three largest overshoots — Week 8 (+10.1), Week 13 (+7.9), Week 14 (+6.7) — are the same games. The spikes were not extra volume. They were finishing.
1 of his 5 seasons ran hot: 2023 (+14.2%). 1 came in below what the usage justified: 2021 (-42.2%). Across all 5 he has scored 41.6 points more than his usage was worth.
The reflexive read is regression. Finishing above expectation is unstable, and a player who does it repeatedly is usually one whose luck has not run out yet.
But an expected-points model has a specific blind spot, and it is worth naming: it converts usage at league-average rates. A target twenty yards downfield is worth what the average receiver does with a target twenty yards downfield. If a player is reliably better than average at winning a particular kind of target, he will beat the model every single year, and calling that luck is just mislabelling a skill.
So the question is not whether he beat the number. It is whether there is a mechanism.
Across 86 graded prop lines, he has gone over 47.7% of the time. On passing yards specifically the number is 43.3% across 30 lines, missing the posted number by an average of 5.3%.
That is close enough to a coin flip that the market has him fairly priced on his primary market. There is no edge to claim in either direction.
Touchdowns are the control. His anytime-TD market implied a 14.0% rate and he converted at 3.3% — a gap of -10.7 points, which is worth noting.
Across 1,151 player-seasons we swept every stat for whether it predicts NEXT year's points, and kept only the ones that replicated in all five. f_teamImplLevel (r 0.146) carry.
So the figures worth weighing for him: , on the field for 94.3% of snaps. He finished 14 at the position — QB2.
Vegas sets an implied total for every team every week, and some offences beat theirs systematically. Over 108 games, GB has come in +1.05 points against its own implied total, clearing it in 56% of weeks.
That is a real structural tailwind. Every skill player in this offence gets a small, repeatable bonus the market prices late.
One related finding worth carrying: across 1,280 cases we measured what happens after a team's implied total slides, and the correlation is -0.37 — negative, meaning the market over-corrects. A falling team total is more often a buying window than a warning.
Our board has him at 298.2 points, 17.8 per game across 16.8 expected games — 0 catches, 0 yards, 0 touchdowns. That is QB4, 127 overall, and -23 points of value over a replacement starter.
It is a step down from 2025, and the reason is volume rather than efficiency. The projection assumes he keeps doing what he does on slightly fewer looks.
despite being a genuinely athletic QB, has a career rushing average of only about 10 yards/game and a single rushing TD total over the past two seasons combined — a real, sustained pattern of NOT using his legs even when the offense's context would seem to call for it, which specifically undercuts the "he'll just start running more" breakout argument.
The books do not agree on him. Jordan Love is a board split: Underdog takes him ~115, ESPN lets him slide to ~159 (34.4-pick gap). That 34.4-pick gap between Underdog and ESPN is the practical thing to act on: in a ESPN-priced room he is available later than his consensus number suggests.
He goes at 139.4 overall on consensus, and the books are far apart — 34.4 picks between cheapest and priciest, which is a real value window. He is latest on espn and earliest on underdog: sleeper 124.8, espn 159.2, yahoo 124.9, underdog 115, cbs 148.6.
At 139.4 you are paying a WR2 price for a player whose median outcome is a WR2 season with five weeks that win you the game outright and four that lose it. The bust rate of 20% is real and so is the 36% boom rate.
The call: fair value, not a discount. The reason to take him is the ceiling and the betting record. The reason to pass is that you are buying a profile that has beaten its expected output four years running and only needs to stop once.
