Allgeier is set to do that again to Jeremiyah Love, although Love is going a full round or more after Robinson -- who had a late first-round ADP -- did in fantasy drafts when he was a rookie. Given the circumstances, Bloom argues that if Love is going to hit this year, it's going to have to be with his passing game and big-play contributions, because Allgeier isn't going away, and short-yardage running is one of his strengths.

Negative signalRole

Love faces role competition from Allgeier; RB13 ADP may not be justified by early camp reports.

Love faces significant role uncertainty in Arizona behind Tyler Allgeier, who was signed to a two-year, $12.25 million deal and is listed as the starting running back. Allgeier, who shared backfield duties with Bijan Robinson during Robinson's rookie year, is expected to handle short-yardage work and goal-line carries. Arizona Republic's Bob McManaman suggests Love will eventually get bulk carries, but the early drumbeat casts doubt on whether Love will receive enough work to justify his RB13 ADP. Love's path to fantasy relevance will likely depend on passing game contributions and big-play opportunities rather than volume.
