FantasyPros Articles on Jeremiyah Love
From the article
Jeremiyah Love went top five in the NFL Draft to the Arizona Cardinals, who already have Tyler Allgeier and James Conner on the depth chart. The cluttered backfield and worrisome scoring environment could hinder Love in 2026, keeping him as a strong RB2, but locking him out of RB1 status.
STACKED’s take
Love's 8-spot ADP premium ignores backfield clutter and Arizona's weak scoring environment.
Jeremiyah Love is being drafted 8 spots earlier than expert consensus (RB14 ECR vs. RK33 ADP), but the source cautions the premium is unwarranted. Love went top-five in the NFL Draft to Arizona, which already has Tyler Allgeier and James Conner on the depth chart; while the source believes Love will be Arizona's lead back in 2026, his workload could be eaten into by Allgeier and/or Conner. Love's talent is not in question—over the last two years in college, he ranked inside the top 15 backs in yards after contact per attempt, breakaway rate, and elusive rating, and is a stellar pass catcher (17th in yards per route run among FBS backs last year, 10.9% target share). However, the Cardinals look like one of the worst teams in the NFL with concerning QB play. The cluttered backfield and worrisome scoring environment could hinder Love in 2026, keeping him as a strong RB2 but locking him out of RB1 status. If he gets the lion's share of work and the Cardinals' QBs produce league-average passing, Love could be a top-12 back.
