Josh Allen vs Jeremiyah Love

“Josh Allen feels fortunate that the team has QB coach Bo Hardegree to add experience and new concepts to the playbook. Allen noted that while the playbook may be similar to what he's been in for the last eight years, there are a lot of different nuances this year, and Hardegree brings knowledge from his previous stops in the league.”

“Paying up to get a surefire QB only worked for Josh Allen. Even then, the gains don't outweigh the losses: Sure, Allen got 3.2 more PPG over QB10, but I'd rather have Caleb Williams and $31.”

“Allen has finished as the QB1 or QB2 every season over the past six years, despite not having a big-name No. 1 wide receiver since Stefon Diggs was traded away. Yet, the superstar quarterback hasn't needed an elite set of weapons because of his touchdown production, totaling at least 39 passing and rushing scores in six consecutive seasons.”

“Josh Allen is listed as the QB1, which is fine and fairly standard, but his ADP is 4.42. Allen finished with about 43 more points than Matthew Stafford last season. At MFL, you need to spend a top-five pick to acquire him, which doesn't make any sense from a fantasy football perspective.”

“Josh Allen is coming off his lowest passing yardage since 2019 (3,668), and for the past three seasons, he's not broken the 30 passing touchdown barrier. Allen sustains his value purely through rushing touchdowns with 41 in the last three seasons.”

“Josh Allen was worth his QB1 capital, returning value on his ADP as the only top-seven quarterback in ADP to finish as a QB1.”

“He's either finished as the fantasy QB1 or QB2 for the last six straight seasons. In Superflex? Allen is the top player on the board. Even over Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson.”

“The pinnacle of consistency, Josh Allen has been living at the top for years now. In fact, he finished as the QB1, QB2, and QB1 in 2023, '24, and '25, respectively.”

“You cannot blame Josh Allen's overall performance as the reason they cannot seem to accomplish their goals of making it to and then winning the Super Bowl.”

“If you look at the 24 quarterbacks with at least 50 playoff pass attempts since 2020, Allen is the #1 most efficient quarterback in the playoffs. #1 in EPA per play (+0.15) #1 in success rate (50%)”

“Josh Allen's 18.5 ADP is the problem, as the quarterback position has never been deeper for fantasy players, with Brock Bowers (19.6), Nico Collins (19.7), and Omarion Hampton (19.8) having a later ADP than Allen despite all three should getting drafted over the superstar quarterback.”

“Allen is the only one with an ADP inside the top 50 picks among the five elite quarterbacks.”

“Love was always going to be the top pick in dynasty rookie drafts, regardless of his NFL landing spot. Unfortunately, the Cardinals were the worst of the four potential landing spots for the former Notre Dame star, as he will play behind a poor offensive line and for a team that will likely have to throw at a high rate in 2026.”

“For redraft, treat Love as a high-end RB2 with RB1 upside. The ADP is fair. You are not getting a discount, but you are not paying a premium either, and that is what we want from rookies as a rule.”

“Love was always going to be the top pick in dynasty rookie drafts, regardless of his NFL landing spot. Unfortunately, the Cardinals were the worst of the four potential landing spots for the former Notre Dame star, as he will play behind a poor offensive line and for a team that will likely have to throw at a high rate in 2026.”

“The Cardinals then, surprisingly, selected blue-chip prospect Jeremiyah Love with the No. 3 overall pick, relegating Allgeier to a timeshare at best.”

“Jeremiyah Love is the clear RB1 with true three-down upside, rare receiving ability and the profile of a franchise cornerstone. In this class, talent scarcity outweighs position scarcity, making Love the obvious choice at 1.01.”

“If you take Jeremiyah Love at pick 19 on Fantrax, instead of pick 26 (his consensus ADP), consider the players you are skipping to roster a rookie with an uncertain role in 2026. Love certainly could come in and dominate in his rookie season, but we know that Tyler Allgeier and James Connor are on the roster, and this offense is in flux, with a quarterback battle still to come.”

“The Arizona Cardinals signed Jeremiyah Love to his rookie contract as part of their 2026 draft class.”

“Arizona went out and drafted Notre Dame superstar RB Jeremiyah Love with the No. 3 overall pick. Love comes with a prospect pedigree in the same tier as Saquon Barkley or Ashton Jeanty. With that kind of top-three draft capital, he is going to command a heavily featured, ground-and-pound role right out of the gate.”

“Jeremiyah Love was always going to be the top pick in dynasty rookie drafts, regardless of his NFL landing spot. Unfortunately, the Cardinals were the worst of the four potential landing spots for the former Notre Dame star, as he will play behind a poor offensive line and for a team that will likely have to throw at a high rate in 2026. However, Love is a core part of an up-and-coming offense that should be significantly better next season after Arizona improves its quarterback situation.”

“Jeremiyah Love is going as the RB9 on MFL, and while he has the talent to be a top running back in the NFL, this is a lofty goal for the rookie. He's entering a situation where many running backs will compete for touches, including Tyler Allgeier, James Conner, and Trey Benson, which is just way too much investment in a player on a bad team with other legitimate running back talent around him.”

“Love was always going to be the top pick in dynasty rookie drafts, regardless of his NFL landing spot. Unfortunately, the Cardinals were the worst of the four potential landing spots for the former Notre Dame star, as he will play behind a poor offensive line and for a team that will likely have to throw at a high rate in 2026.”

“While Arizona has a crowded backfield, that won't be the case when the season starts. James Conner and Trey Benson will be on other teams, leaving Tyler Allgeier as Love's only meaningful competition. Expect Love to produce enough in the passing game to make him far and away the top-scoring rookie running back.”
