Isaiah Likely is still a sell-high for me right now His 27.8 fantasy points in Week 1 were a career high, along with his 24.1 XFP (per @FantasyPtsData) There are a few reasons I think this ends up being an "outlier" performance 1. It was against a piss poor Cowboys defense that refused to make adjustments 2. 4 red-zone targets feel unsustainable given the talent that Likely is competing with 3. Malik Nabers was not at 100% in this game and is going to see increased usage in the coming weeks...

Jeremiyah Love's trade value declined minimally -1.0 points to 37.6 in Week 2, indicating relatively stable perceived value.

Beyond the Box Score: Jeremiyah Love, RB, Arizona Cardinals Rest of season Fantasy Football rank - RB14 RB Archetype - SPLIT BACKFIELD

The No. 3 overall draft pick is described as a special player; returning from a high-ankle sprain, he was out-snapped and out-carried by Tyler Allgeier in Week 1, but it will likely be only a week or two before Love relegates Allgeier to a much smaller role.

In Week 1 yards after contact per carry rankings (minimum 10 rushes), Jeremiyah Love ranked fourth with 4.45 yards after contact per carry, demonstrating strong contact balance early in his NFL career.

Jeremiyah Love ranked 4th among Week 1 running backs with 4.45 yards after contact per carry (minimum 10 rushes), demonstrating solid efficiency in generating yards after initial contact.

PositiveUsageSep 15, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL

Love came off a high ankle sprain from Week 1 of the preseason but played 44% of snaps and handled 37% of attempts for the Cardinals. He held a slight edge in routes (38% vs. 36% for Allgeier) and his 20% TPRR dwarfed Allgeier's 14%. Love scored 13 fantasy points in Week 1 with a 59 Utilization Score and found the end zone. Love is the No. 5 RB prospect in the history of the Rookie Super Model. Dwain McFarland expects Love to move into the lead role eventually, offering borderline RB1 upside as the season progresses despite being a low-end RB in the short term.

Expect Jeremiyah Love to get more touches as the season goes along 😤 [Retweeted](

5-5 red-zone touch split with Tyler Allgeier in Week 1, which the source considers a win. A rookie RB coming off injury is already getting half the red-zone work, and this should only increase. At worst, Love will have valuable touches on top of being the lead back. His talent is clear, and less and less is holding him back this season. Even on a limited 43% snap share, Love had 15 fantasy opportunities and churned out a dozen points.

The Jeremiyah Love tape is so good. There is no way the Cardinals keep him as a 1b this season. No way.

The No. 3 overall pick Jeremiah Love contributed to the Cardinals' Week 1 victory over the Chargers, with the source noting the defense allowed 26 points to Love and quarterback Jacoby Brissett in Mike LaFleur's head-coaching debut.

Love, a hotshot rookie, scored 13 fantasy points in his debut as a rushing touchdown overcame tepid volume; this was expected as Love was on the mend from a sprained ankle, suggesting upside once fully healthy.

Green Bay’s offensive line is SWISS CHEESE. 🧀 In Week 1 against Minnesota: Jordan Love was sacked 4 times (tied for 2nd most in NFL). He was pressured on 50% of his pass attempts (2nd worst in NFL).

Jeremiah Love had a strong debut with 13 points in a part-time role, including 44% of snaps and a 37% rush share. His 11% target share on a 38% route participation rate is highly encouraging, and Ron Stewart views him as a 'smash' buy-low candidate if the Cardinals' offense continues to perform as a top-20 unit.

RBs whose Week 1 red zone snap rate is worth keeping an eye on going forward: 60% - Christian McCaffrey 58% - Aaron Jones / 42% Jordan Mason 57% - Bucky Irving 55% - Omarion Hampton 55% - Cam Skattebo 46% - Jeremiyah Love 44% - Travis Etienne

Played 44% of snaps and 36% of routes with 11 carries for 41 yards and 1 TD, plus 4 receptions for 9 yards on 4 targets. His 10.8% target share is modest, but his 29% air yard share and TD indicate he is a factor in the Cardinals' red zone and goal-line situations.

There are some fantastic buy-low opportunities on several talented players after Week 1 (if owners are panicking at all) Jeremiyah Love is one of those players for me: - He saw only 11 rush attempts to Tyler Allgeier's 17 (oddly positive game script for the Cardinals' run game) Love saw -0.27 YBCO/Att (yes, you read that right), and still managed this stat line: - 9.1% Explosive Run Rate - 0.27 MTF/Att - 4.00 YACO/Att - 107.3% YACO% Those marks would have ranked 2nd, 2nd, 1st, and 1st among a...

Love was the only back to cash in a red zone opportunity in Week 1 and saw four targets to Allgeier's two, despite being eased into his workload due to a preseason ankle injury. The source implies Love will see increased usage once fully healthy, positioning him as the lead back going forward.

Love was easing back from a preseason ankle injury in Week 1 but saw four targets to Allgeier's two and was the only back to cash in red zone opportunities; his role should expand as he gets healthier, positioning him as the lead back going forward.

The Seattle Seahawks present a tough matchup in Week 2 for Love, who is projected as an RB2 option in fantasy despite his strong debut performance.

Love ran 11 times for 41 yards and a touchdown in his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Chargers, adding two receptions for nine yards. Despite carrying the ball six fewer times than Tyler Allgeier and playing through a high-ankle sprain, Love demonstrated game-breaking ability with an 18-yard long that led the team, positioning him as an RB2 option in fantasy for Week 2 against Seattle.

Discouraging Week 1 snap rates: 57% - Jayden Reed 55% - Romeo Doubs 49% - Rome Odunze (probably health-related) 45% - MarShawn Lloyd 44% - Jeremiyah Love 44% - Jauan Jennings 41% - Kenyon Sadiq 36% - Jaylen Warren 23% - Blake Corum 19% - Jonathon Brooks

Jeremiyah Love received 11 carries to Allgeier's 17 in Week 1; the ultimate role split is TBD, and most rookie RBs take approximately 3 games to ramp up touches, suggesting patience may be warranted before assessing his workload ceiling.

Tyler Allgeier out-carried Jeremiyah Love 17-11. Not surprising with Love coming off an August high ankle sprain (plus ARI paid Allgeier $12.3 million). But Love had four targets (10.8% share – decent, nothing crazy). And although Allgeier later played two goal-line snaps, I thought it was good Love played a snap from the LAC 5 and scored a TD. Doesn't seem like ARI is tied to Allgeier as their short-yardage back. Also: The Cards scored 26 points! Positive developments for Love all over the p...

The rookie running back played despite entering the game questionable, demonstrating he has NFL-caliber abilities. On the opening drive, Love scored his first-ever NFL touchdown on a designed inside run that he took outside, stiff-arming cornerback Cam Hart to reach the end zone with a great block by left tackle Paris Johnson sealing the corner.

Love performed adequately in the Cardinals' preseason opener but was overshadowed by the team's defensive performance. The source notes the running game was impotent overall, suggesting Love did not carry the offensive load despite his individual effort.

Love 'did enough' in the Cardinals' Week 1 win, though the source notes the running game was 'impotent,' suggesting limited or ineffective rushing production despite the team's overall victory.
