Jordan Love or Baker Mayfield Week 15 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Fantasy football projections for QBs

Jordan Love and Baker Mayfield are trying to lead their respective teams to the NFL playoffs. Week 15 of the 2024 season will present difficult challenges for each squad, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers visiting SoFi Stadium to try to beat the LA Chargers while the Green Bay Packers will face off against the Seattle Seahawks in a matchup that always comes with fireworks.

The two quarterbacks are having a season of ups and downs and their Week 15 matchup could give them the confidence boost they need to close out the season on a strong note. If you're a fantasy manager trying to pick between them for a possible playoff matchup, check out our analysis.

Is Jordan Love a good pick for Week 15?

Jordan Love is coming off a discreet performance against the Detroit Lions in Week 14, completing 12 of 20 pass attempts for 206 yards and one touchdown. The Packers relied on other Josh Jacobs to make that game a close one, but Love was still effective despite not attempting more passes.

The Seattle Seahawks come off an entertaining duel against the Arizona Cardinals where they allowed two passing touchdowns but also picked Kyler Murray twice. They allowed 21 fantasy points to the Cardinals, which gives hope to Love about a potential big game on Sunday.

Is Baker Mayfield a good pick for Week 15?

Baker Mayfield is still trying to find consistency this season, posting games with multiple touchdowns but multiple interceptions too, as well as games where he doesn't connect with his receivers. He's coming off a three-touchdown and two-interception performance against the Las Vegas Raiders, getting a 28-13 win against the AFC West team.

He's going up against a tough Chargers team that forced the Chiefs to win the game with a last-second field goal, so this challenge won't be easy for Mayfield and Co. Contrary to Seattle, Los Angeles has allowed 16.15 fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. This is a tough challenge for Baker.
