All Flock Fantasy insights about Jeremiyah Love

NegativeInjurySep 8, 2026
Jeremiah Love is the second running back on the Arizona Cardinals depth chart behind Tyler Algier, who was named the week one starter. The source expects Love to be the better back and eventually get the work, but coming off a high ankle sprain, Love may not be 100% healthy, which could lead to early-season usage of Algier. Additionally, the Cardinals project to score only 18.5 points, capping Love's ceiling. Typically a rookie like Love would be a top-12 back immediately, but the high ankle sprain complicates the outlook.
PositiveBreakoutSep 8, 2026
Checks every rookie running back evaluation box: NFL draft capital (best indicator of rookie season usage), athleticism/combine testing for big plays, receiving back ability in college, and size to handle a three-down workload. Flock Fantasy compares him favorably to Breece Hall's rookie profile from four years ago. High ankle sprain suffered four weeks prior; Mike LaFleur said Monday he is optimistic Love will be able to play Sunday against the Chargers. Fantasy decision point: Love's Sunday game timing makes him less attractive than earlier-week RB options like Raeandre Stevenson (Wednesday) or Jadarian Price (Thursday), even if Love is active. Cardinals are 10-point dogs, but Flock Fantasy would still play Love if active.

Mr. Veterany takes Jeremiah Love at pick 20, which he notes is an unusual second-round selection; Love typically goes in the third round, suggesting he views this as a value opportunity. Veterany is comfortable taking Love in the third round because recent rookie running backs (Gentry, Bejon, Clyde Edwards-Helaire) have disappointed despite being round-one picks in their rookie seasons; Love's third-round ADP is depressed compared to historical rookie RB valuations like Saquon Barkley and Ezekiel Elliott, creating value.

Jeremiah Love was the 3rd overall draft pick by Arizona; the source dismisses committee talk with James Connor and Tyler Algier, arguing teams would not invest a 3rd overall pick if veterans were intended as starters. Rookie RB concerns exist due to Arizona's historical bust seasons (Ashton Gentry, Bejian Robinson), but the source expects Love to earn the lead-back role despite the narrative. He's available at the end of the second or beginning of the third round, much cheaper than prior Arizona rookie RBs who were first-round picks despite disappointing rookie seasons.
NegativeValueNo date
Arizona Cardinals RB projected to play on worst-tier offense; ADP varies significantly by platform: round 3 on Yahoo/CBS/FFPC Underdog (pick ~75-80), but pick 12 on ESPN. Jeremiah Love recommends conditional approach: avoid at pick 12 (ESPN/Sleeper second round) where he must be a top-10 RB to justify cost, but acceptable in round 3 where ceiling is capped by bad offense but downside is mitigated by having two elite picks ahead. Third overall NFL draft pick with generational-level talent ceiling; preferred over Breece Hall despite both facing garbage offenses because Love's unknown upside and elite draft capital offer more projectable ceiling than Hall's capped production. Upside comparison: if Cardinals exceed expectations like 2019 Giants, Love could reach Saquon Barkley-level production as a top-tier RB1.
PositiveSleeperNo date
Flock Fantasy takes Love in the third round (average ADP 24.8, only 1.3% higher than field consensus) and has taken him in 9.6% of drafts despite widespread criticism. The source defends the pick by distinguishing Love from prior early-round RB busts (Bejian Robinson and Ashton Gentry) who were both round-one picks in bad offenses; Love as a third-round pick in a bad offense is more defensible. The source argues the market has learned its lesson on early RB picks in poor situations. Drafted as running back two in the source's team; source states 'Running back, I feel great,' indicating confidence in the running back room depth.
NegativeProjectionNo date
Flock Fantasy defends Jeremiah Love despite recent draft board decline due to backfield competition concerns (James Conner, Tyler Allgeier), arguing that the team's third overall draft capital investment signals heavy usage: 'I don't care what the coaching staff says in July. This team just spent the third overall pick on Jeremiah Love. It's probably going to be a ton of Jeremiah Love this season.' However, the Arizona Cardinals are projected as a bottom-five offense in the league with a 4.5 win total, which presents a major concern regarding the team's overall offensive environment rather than Love's individual role.
NegativeDepth ChartNo date
Jeremiah Love received remaining reps behind Tyler Algier, who has gotten the majority of carries with the first team offense through eight days of training camp. Ricky Pierall expects Love, as a number-three overall draft pick, will expand his role and take carries from veterans as the season progresses, and is not moving him down in rankings based on early camp depth chart positioning. Pierall notes that typically rookies as talented as Love will expand their role and take from the veterans.
