CeeDee Lamb vs Jeremiyah Love

“CeeDee Lamb had a “down” year last season as the WR11 in fantasy points per game, but that finish doesn’t really tell the entire story of Lamb’s season. In Week 3, he played only seven snaps, and in Week 18, he played only 45.5% of the snaps.”

“CeeDee Lamb | WR, Dallas Cowboys Still within his prime years, you may be surprised to see CeeDee Lamb listed here.”

“CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL) In a world where George Pickens had hit the open market, or was traded by the Cowboys this offseason, instead of signing his franchise tag tender, CeeDee Lamb could have been back in the top two wide receiver conversation.”

“He has a solid offensive line in front of him and perhaps the best WR tandem in the league in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens .”

“This is a basic one you’ve probably already heard of before. Take CeeDee Lamb and name your team after the popular movie starring legendary actor Anthony Hopkins.”

“20 come from two buckets: Hyper-specified role players (Stefon Diggs, Rashee Rice) Guys with other top 24 or strong ancillary target competition (Both Rams WRs, Jameson Williams, CeeDee Lamb, Tee Higgins, Quentin Johnston with Ladd McConkey/Keenan Allen) You may notice there’s one guy on this list who fits in neither, and it’s Thundering Herd legend Christian Watson (shout out to NDSU).”

“The Cowboys made no meaningful additions at RB this offseason and are running it back with Dak Prescott , CeeDee Lamb , and George Pickens .”

“If you’re happy to believe 2025 was a blip rather than the new normal, it becomes easier to see Lamb as a value pick in this range. Betting on Lamb’s well-established connection with Dak Prescott and this team as a whole to bounce back isn’t the worst bet in the world.”

“CeeDee Lamb is eminently talented, do not get me wrong there, and this offense will promise to be extremely high-flying and productive. However, he has one season in his career wherein he finished higher than WR7 or with more than 17.7 PPR points per game. That season came in 2023 when he led the NFL in targets with 181 targets.”

“CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL) It was a really disappointing 2025 for CeeDee Lamb , posting the second-lowest numbers of his career in targets (117), receptions (75) and receiving yards (1,077), with only his rookie season in 2020 worse.”

“Malik Nabers, CeeDee Lamb, and Justin Jefferson all have similar LTV scores in the same range as Love’s.”

“Lamb posted the second-lowest numbers of his career in targets, receptions and yards, with only his rookie season in 2020 worse. He also had a career-low three touchdowns. Pickens saw a 22.1% target share in the red zone compared to Lamb's 18.6%, which was also behind Jake Ferguson, who led the team with a 23.1% red-zone target share.”

“You could also add a running back such as Breece Hall or Jeremiyah Love .”

“That’s not likely to happen again after the team drafted a running back, Jeremiyah Love , No.”

“Draft Jeremiyah Love , Jordan Love and Colston Loveland . Name your team “Love Island” after the popular reality show.”

“com/gbdOyXuR12 — Fantasy Footballers (@TheFFBallers) July 6, 2026 Jeremiyah Love is entering a situation very similar to the one Ashton Jeanty faced last year.”

“The question will be how much Tyler Allgeier gets involved in that role versus Jeremiyah Love having all of that work.”

“Sleeper: Jeremiyah Love, Running Back (RB13, Pick 24 Overall) It’s hard to call the number three overall pick in the real-life NFL Draft (the highest since Saquon Barkley went second in 2018) a sleeper, but here we are. Jeremiyah Love isn’t the prospect that Ashton Jeanty was last season, but Jeanty’s fall from grace has folks hesitant about clicking the button on Love earlier than the second or third round.”

“Jeremiyah Love (ARI) and a future 2027 1st for Gibbs comes out to a fair price in the current market.”

“The Cardinals kept Conne r on a reworked deal, signed former Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier to what is pretty decent money for a free agent back, then topped it all off by drafting first-round RB Jeremiyah Love with the No. 3 pick. I’d say that’s pretty telling about where Benson stands in Arizona.”

“Love has all the talent in the world, and sure, maybe his receiving ability will pay huge dividends, but this is going to be a tough offense to work within to achieve the goals of being a top-10 fantasy football running back. The depth chart includes talent like Tyler Allgeier, who signed a sizable contract, as well as James Conner and Trey Benson.”

“Elite rookies like Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love offer early volume, but managers often overpay for youth or wait multiple seasons for clarity.”

“Love was outstanding in college, averaging 6.9 yards per rushing attempt in back-to-back years, totaling at least 17 rushing touchdowns in both seasons. According to PFF, he averaged 4.5 yards after contact and a 32.7% forced missed tackle rate during his two years as the starter.”

“Jeremiyah Love enters 2026 with the clearest path to immediate fantasy relevance among rookie running backs. The Cardinals spent premium draft capital to make him the centerpiece of their backfield. Love enters the league with three-down credentials. He forced 22% missed tackles, posted a 16% explosive run rate and averaged 3.92 yards after contact at Notre Dame, while adding legit receiving chops that give him a built-in PPR floor.”
