Fantasy football playoffs are set to begin in Week 15, so starting the right player is extremely important, especially at quarterback. This week, fantasy managers may have to decide between Justin Herbert and Jordan Love. But who is the better option?

LA Chargers QB Justin Herbert is a great fantasy option in Week 15 and going forward.

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love is a good fantasy option in Week 15 and going forward.

Love has thrown for 2,724 yards, 21 TDs and 11 interceptions. Last week against the Detroit Lions, Love recorded 206 yards and a TD.

The Packers had a mini-bye week which will help them get healthier and have more time to plan against Seattle. This season, the Seahawks are allowing 230.69 passing yards per game.

Justin Herbert or Jordan Love: Who Should I Start?

Sportskeeda's fantasy start/sit optimizer suggests that managers should start Justin Herbert over Jordan Love in Week 15.

In a full PPR league, the tool has Herbert going for 18.8 fantasy points while Love will record 17.2.

The tool projects Herbert will throw for 264.3 yards and a TD while also rushing for 14 yards. Meanwhile, Love is projected to have 240.6 yards and two touchdowns, but will throw an interception.

Ultimately, both Herbert and Love are strong fantasy options in Week 15, but the tool suggests starting Herbert.
