Jeremiyah Love

RB, ARI

Love entered the season in an ankle-limited timeshare behind Tyler Allgeier, but Week 3 flipped the script: he took 63% of snaps and 78% of the rushing work, scoring a touchdown and piling up catches. He's now Arizona's clear lead back, with the only question being whether this workload share sticks going forward.

Through Weeks 1-2, shows like Fantasy Football Today and Matthew Berry's Happy Hour flagged his sub-45% snap share and route count behind Allgeier as real concerns, even as Establish The Run and FantasyPros framed it as a buy-low tied to a preseason ankle injury. Week 3 changed everything at once — Fantasy Footballers, Yahoo's Josh & Hayden, FantasyPros, The Audible, and nearly every other show converged on the same story: 26 touches, a blowout snap/rush share edge over Allgeier, and a touchdown, with hosts now debating whether he's a top-10 or even top-5 ROS back rather than whether he's droppable. The lingering disagreement is just how far to rank him — Yahoo and FantasyPros push him into true RB1 territory, while Fantasy Focus and Fantasy Life frame it as RB2 with upside pending workload confirmation.

The line: Buy and start him now — the backfield is his, and the two-week price lag on the hot-hand shift is still closing. · updated Oct 01

Thursday, October 1

Both shows are buying in after his 63% snap share and 78% of the rushing work in Week 3, with Fantasy Life pegging him a mid-range RB2 with RB1 upside and Theo ranking him as high as #22 overall; treat him as a must-start if the workload holds.

Monday, September 28

All three shows are aligned: Love is seizing the backfield outright, piling up 20+ touches, out-snapping the competition, and hitting paydirt through the air—21+ fantasy points make him a legit top-12 RB conversation going forward, so start him with confidence and buy in on trades.

▶ FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Debro is frustrated by his limited 42% snap rate and 32% route share despite elite per-touch efficiency (2.85 yards after contact), attributing it to lingering effects of a high ankle sprain and expecting expanded usage soon. listen ↗
