Jordan Love's Eight-Game TD Streak Passes Favre, Trails Only Rodgers

Jordan Love just did something only two Packers quarterbacks have ever done. His three-touchdown night on Thursday extended his streak of games with multiple scores to eight straight to open 2026 — the second-longest such run in franchise history, slotting him ahead of Brett Favre's seven-game stretch from 1995.

The only name still above him? Aaron Rodgers, who ripped off 15 consecutive multi-TD games in 2011. Both Favre and Rodgers won MVP in those seasons, and Love is now lurking at 25-1 to win the 2026 award. He finished Thursday 30-of-41 for 288 yards, three touchdowns and one pick.

The counting stats are the real headline for fantasy purposes. Love currently leads the entire NFL in attempts (312), completions (192), passing yards (2,246) and touchdown passes (16). That's not a hot week — that's eight weeks of top-of-the-board volume.

Why The Zero Matters

Here's the number that should make managers feel safe: zero interceptions through eight games. Love is pairing elite production with elite ball security, which means the floor and the ceiling are both high. Through the 2026 season to date he's banked 161 PPR points and sits as our QB5 overall, the No. 2 quarterback on our board.

The volume ties it all together. You don't lead the league in attempts and completions by accident — Green Bay is leaning on Love to carry the offense, and he's rewarding that trust with 16 scores and a goose egg in the turnover column. A sprinkle of rushing upside (one rushing touchdown already) is just gravy.

The call is easy. Love is a weekly must-start QB1 and there's no scenario where you're benching him. If you drafted a second quarterback and someone in your league is panicking at the position, Love's name recognition hasn't fully caught up to his production — a sharp manager could flip a backup into a real asset by selling the narrative. Plug him in, don't overthink it.
