Latest takes
“Leaving a crowded receiver room in Chicago for Buffalo in the offseason, Moore becomes the de facto first read for Josh Allen on all passing plays.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 19“In fact, he and Josh Allen are the only two QBs to have 300 fantasy points in each of the last two seasons.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 19“Josh Allen should be the undisputed QB1, but the weekly scoring gap at the position is very narrow. Last season, the difference between Allen, the QB1, and Daniel Jones , the QB18, was only four fantasy points per game. With the position so deep, this further strengthens the case for a late-round quarterback strategy in 2026.”

“While there are five quarterbacks in this tier, Allen stands clearly ahead of the rest. The superstar has finished as a top-five quarterback in six consecutive seasons despite not having a go-to No. 1 wide receiver since the Bills traded away Stefon Diggs.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 16“Bills QB Josh Allen is an amazing football player and a time-tested fantasy asset.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 15“Josh Allen is microwave popcorn because when he gets hot, he absolutely pops off. One explosive play turns into another, the TDs start piling up, and suddenly you are staring at a fantasy score that felt impossible just a few quarters ago.”
Brooke Morgan· Aug 12“There’s no doubt that quarterbacks like Allen, Jackson, Drake Maye, and more should score more, but drafting any in the first few rounds is a bad idea.”
Wyatt Bertolone· Aug 12“Most notably, he oversaw the development of Josh Allen as Offensive Coordinator in Buffalo from 2018 through 2021.”
Kyle Lesti· Aug 11“The Sharp Football Analysis projections are aggressive in factoring in increased passing from Allen and are well above the Vegas passing yards total. ESPN’s publicly available projections have a moderate increase in passing attempts and yardage from last year and are still more than 300 yards over the passing total.”
Curtis Hirsch· Aug 10“Since the start of 2022, Allen is second in EPA per play and has finished among the top four quarterbacks in EPA per play in every single year.”
Curtis Hirsch· Aug 10“Josh Allen , Patrick Mahomes , Brock Purdy , Dak Prescott , and Jared Goff were the only quarterbacks selected as top-12 players who were also top 12 in points per game.”
Rich Hribar· Aug 5“Josh Allen 2026 Over/Under Predictions The Buffalo offense played at the league's slowest pace and ran the ball at the second-highest rate last season, which seems very counterintuitive for a team with Josh Allen at quarterback.”
Curtis Hirsch· Aug 5“Josh Allen is once again the consensus QB1 in fantasy. He finished QB1 in fantasy scoring last season for the fourth time in the last six years. After down years from Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts , the gap between Allen and other fantasy QBs seems to have widened.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 4“There is hope that a healthy Kincaid can live up to the hype that he has carried since entering the league as a first-round pick in the NFL Draft and be an elite TE option in an offense with Josh Allen .”
Kurt Mullen· Jul 29“With the first pick in the draft, Mike takes what feels like an obvious choice of Josh Allen, who has finished as the QB1 overall in four of the last six seasons.”
Kurt Mullen· Jul 29
“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.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 19“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.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 5“Draft Jeremiyah Love , Jordan Love and Colston Loveland . Name your team “Love Island” after the popular reality show.”
Frank Ammirante· Aug 4“com/gbdOyXuR12 — Fantasy Footballers (@TheFFBallers) July 6, 2026 Jeremiyah Love is entering a situation very similar to the one Ashton Jeanty faced last year.”
Jordan Pullett· Jul 29“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.”
Jonathan Lange· Jul 21“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.”
Richard Janvrin· Jul 12“Elite rookies like Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love offer early volume, but managers often overpay for youth or wait multiple seasons for clarity.”
Lawrence Iacona· Jul 9“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.”
