Latest takes

Jeremiyah Love
  • Jadarian Price (RB – SEA) Believe it or not, Jeremiyah Love isn’t the only highly-touted rookie running back drafted from Notre Dame this offseason.

  • Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love is expected to miss the rest of the preseason after suffering a high ankle sprain in the team’s preseason opener over the weekend. Following the game, head coach Mike LaFleur told reporters that Love “could have returned” following his injury, but with this new diagnosis, Love’s availability for Week 1 is in question.

    Tucker Bagley· Aug 18
  • Jeremiyah Love went top five in the NFL Draft to the Arizona Cardinals, who already have Tyler Allgeier and James Conner on the depth chart. With that type of draft capital investment, I think Love will be Arizona’s lead back in 2026, but he could have his workload eaten into by Allgeier and/or Conner.

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

    Tom Strachan· Aug 11
  • 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.

    Rich Hribar· Jul 24
  • 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.

    Jeff Krisko· Jul 22
  • 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.

    Logan Ulrich· Jul 19
  • 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.

    Mike Fanelli· Jul 8
  • 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.

    Dennis Sosic· Jul 6
Trey McBride
  • Cardinals TE Trey McBride has become a prolific fantasy scorer.

  • The second round did see the top two TEs go off the board – Brock Bowers at 2.04 and Trey McBride at 2.06. In a full PPR format, the elite TEs could separate themselves even more than usual, with guys like Bowers and McBride as two of the few guys at the position who could lead their team in targets.

    Kurt Mullen· Aug 14
  • In full-PPR formats, running backs and wide receivers split the top 10 in points per game 50/50, while running backs made up 10 of the top 20 spots in those leagues ( Trey McBride was in there as a tight end).

  • Starting WR/WR with Drake London or Nico Collins in round two could let you lean into Zero RB with an elite tight end such as Brock Bowers or Trey McBride .

    Tom Strachan· Aug 11
  • Let’s use last season’s leading TE scorer, Trey McBride , as an example. He scored 315.9 PPR fantasy points last season. In TE-premium, where he gets an extra half-point for each of his 126 receptions, McBride scored 378.9 fantasy points.

  • McBride ran 156 more routes last year than any other tight end. This fact and McBride’s talent fueled plenty of fantasy teams to championships last season. Among 59 qualifying tight ends, McBride was first in target share (25.4%), receiving yards per game (72.9), red zone targets (32), and first-read share (33.8%).

  • Tight end gets a partial exception: he’s comfortable taking Brock Bowers or Colston Loveland at their going rate in the second round, but not Trey McBride, whose value is tied to a huge target total in Arizona that’s likely to shrink now that the Cardinals used a premium pick on a running back.

  • Trey McBride (199.8 half-PPR points) and Brock Bowers (195.5 half-PPR points) are the only tight ends who clear that mark.

  • We are coming off a season in which Trey McBride provided the largest gap in scoring to the TE2 in league history (which does say more about the field than McBride himself), and he was the 11th-best player in scoring per game.

    Rich Hribar· Aug 6
  • Last season’s production was heavily inflated by his 11 touchdowns, tying Trey McBride for the most at the position

  • ADP: -6 It will be hard for Trey McBride to top the year he had in 2025.

  • Loveland is the consensus TE3 for 2026 fantasy drafts behind only Brock Bowers and Trey McBride .

  • From Week 9 on, Loveland was TE2 in fantasy scoring behind only Trey McBride .

  • Round 3: Trey McBride (TE – ARI) I haven’t taken a receiver yet, but with Trey McBride still on the board, he was too good to pass up.

  • Neither should be drafted this high. Last season, McBride averaged 18.6 PPR points per game, and Bowers averaged 15.5 in 2024, the better season of his two years in the NFL.
