Jordan Love is a strong starting option once again this week: Between his high-end play as of late and an advantage in the trenches, there’s a lot to love about the Green Bay Packers quarterback this week.

Plenty of reasons to avoid Evan Engram against the Cleveland Browns: Engram’s significant discrepancy in target rate on pressured dropbacks combined with a negative matchup should have fantasy managers looking elsewhere at tight end in Week 14.
