For Green Bay’s Thursday game against Atlanta, start Jordan Love and Tucker Kraft but sit Kaleb Johnson in Week 3 fantasy lineups. Johnson had eight Week 2 carries and is a waiver-wire stash, not a lineup pick, in an unsettled Packers backfield.
Love ranked QB13 and Kraft TE26 after two weeks, but the article recommends both as starters. Atlanta had allowed the 11th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks and was set to miss cornerback A.J. Terrell, placed on injured reserve this week; it had allowed the third-most points per game to tight ends. The Falcons had generated 47 pressures, a concern for Love. Kraft ranked TE4 in 2025 before his season ended early with a torn ACL.
Johnson’s eight carries exceeded MarShawn Lloyd’s six and Chris Brooks’ four. He averaged 4.0 yards per carry, including a 12-yard run, compared with 3.0 for Lloyd and 3.6 for Brooks. The article says the numbers are not enough to call a changing of the guard in the Packers’ backfield.
