Jeremiyah Love
vs Chris Olave

“Scoring less than 10 minutes into his professional debut, it seemed as if Love would instantly be living up to the pre-season hype and hefty draft capital that had been placed on him by the fantasy community…but almost as soon as Arizona’s new #4 found the end zone… Tyler Allgeier decided to play the villain and out-touched Love on his debut, 17 carries to 11. Ok, maybe we are just letting the newbie find his feet; we don’t want to throw him into the deep end too early…right? Well, kinda.”

“Unfortunately, a bell-cow role for Love might not be on the horizon, either. Mike LaFleur’s explanation for keeping Allgeier on the field for the game’s final drive voiced trust in Allgeier’s pass protection. However, Love also mentioned the team having a plan to manage his workload.”

“The Ballers are convinced of Jeremiyah Love ’s breakout for this season, but Love’s dynasty stock is back on track after taking a slight dip in the first two weeks of the season.”

“Be Patient with Rookie RBs Jeremiyah Love played 55 snaps to Allgeier’s 31, but the touches were much more lopsided: 26 to six. Allgeier still handled passing-down work, particularly pass protection, but received just two carries. Love getting five carries on the opening drive also tells us ARI wanted him involved immediately.”

“Two games into his NFL career, Jeremiyah Love’s usage has been absolutely nothing to write home about. He has been out-carried by Tyler Allgeier 22 to 20. That’s not too surprising, but what is borderline shocking is that the boring veteran has run more routes than the dynamic rookie, 32 to 23.”

“Love has yet to see more than 13 touches or top 13 PPR points in a game.”

“We were unsure if Love was going to start in Game 1, and if he did, what would his role look like alongside veteran RB Tyler Allgeier ? After their win against the Los Angeles Chargers , it looks like the team will take a conservative approach with Love. He had 11 carries for 41 yards, caught two targets for nine yards, and hauled in his first NFL TD.”

“As the season goes along, Love will undoubtedly take on more of the workload.”

“Running Backs Rankings & Tiers 2026 Fantasy Football Rankings powered by FantasyPros ECR – Expert Consensus Rankings Fantasy Football Start/Sit Lineup Advice: Running Backs Cardinals rookie Jeremiyah Love is expected to play despite a high-ankle sprain sustained in the Cardinals’ preseason opener. Love was electric in that game before the injury. He’s going to be a gem.”

“Unfortunately, Jeremiyah Love was a victim of a rug pull, seeing his touches drop dramatically from Week 3, and that rotation with Tyler Allgeier might stick around longer than we’d hoped.

“Murray/Hockenson with Olave is my shot at MIN scoring through the air instead of through Jones.”

“Saints Fantasy Wide Receiver Preview Chris Olave (TRUST) Olave has double-digit targets in every game, leading to lines of 10-182-0, 8-86-1, and 9-107-0. He has run 132 routes (2nd only to his teammate Devaughn Vele ) but has seen 29% of the targets (WR5) and 47.7% of the air yards (WR4). He has play volume and front-end usage on his side, which has made him a front-end WR1 for fantasy.”

“Olave has had at least 10 targets in each game this season. Olave will be somewhat popular, but with his price the sixth-highest on DraftKings, rostership shouldn’t be too aggressive. He’s a strong stack with Shough and playable as a one-off as well.”

“Chris Olave is second in the league in both catches and receiving yards. Olave is also tied for second with DK Metcalf in total routes run. And yet, Olave is actually second on his own team in routes run.”

“Chris Olave – 13 targets, 10 rec Devaughn Vele – 9 targets, 7 rec Travis Etienne Jr . – 9 targets, 7 rec The Saints fell to Detroit in that overtime game, but it was not for lack of trying, especially from Tyler Shough , who attempted 56 passes. With that many passes going around, it is not surprising to see a trio of Saints with at least nine targets. Olave averaged 9.8 targets/game last season, while Vele tied his career-high with the nine targets.”

“Playing with a guardian cap in an effort to stave off concussions that have plagued him in the past, Olave is easily Tyler Shough ‘s favorite target and will look to repeat as a mid-range WR1 this season.”

“Chris Olave averaged 18.8 fantasy PPG with Tyler Shough. Only Puka Nacua, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Ja’Marr Chase and Amon-Ra St. Brown averaged more in 2025.”

“Whenever he is on the field opposite Chris Olave (who has his own injury history), Tyson has tremendous upside, offering elite separation ability and versatility across the field.”

“Chris Olave (WR – NO) | ADP: 27 (WR11) Chris Olave is in the bucket of players I discussed in the intro who have a high floor and a high ceiling, hence Olave’s average draft position (ADP) at the beginning of the third round in 12-team leagues.”

“Chris Olave is my answer because the market is still pricing him as a back-end WR1 while I see a legitimate path to a top-five season.”

“Round 4: Chris Olave (WR – NO) With Tyler Shough as his quarterback and Rashid Shaheed not on the field, Olave had a near 30% target share.”
