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...

Allgeier out-carried Jeremiah Love 17-11 in Week 1, though both backs got red zone opportunities and Love was the only one to cash in. Love also saw four targets to Allgeier's two. Love was working through a preseason ankle injury, so the Cardinals eased his workload. The source notes the Cardinals face brutal matchups with the Seahawks and 49ers coming up, making it hard to imagine Allgeier pushing close to 20 touches in either of his next two games. He will be a two-down RB4 for Week 2.

Allgeier out-carried Jeremiah Love 17-11 in Week 1 while Love was easing back from a preseason ankle injury, but Love saw four targets to Allgeier's two and was the only back to cash in red zone opportunities; brutal upcoming matchups with Seahawks and 49ers make it unlikely Allgeier approaches 20 touches in either game, positioning him as a two-down RB4 for Week 2.

It's clear that Jeremiyah Love, the No. 3 pick in this year's draft, is a special player. With Love coming back from a high-ankle sprain, Tyler Allgeier out-snapped and out-carried Love in Week 1. Most likely, it will be only a week or two before Love relegates Allgeier to a much smaller role. It's OK to drop Allgeier if you can use his roster spot more productively.

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...

Allgeier is priced at 31.4% but represents value as an RB1 likely to get red-zone work at 35% or lower. He was named the starter ahead of Jeremiyah Love, who is dealing with an ankle injury.
