SI's Albert Breer visited Cardinals training camp this week and says that you might want to temper your expectations for rookie RB Jeremiyah Love's workload.
What They're Saying: Cards to Limit Work?
Breer: "The plan is to try and not overload him as a rookie and find the right rotation between he and veterans James Conner ... and Tyler Allgeier."
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Love's Still Worth a Look
Let's start with the positive here: Leaving out Trey Benson indicates he's unlikely to factor into the 2026 backfield plan. And the remaining competitors present limited receiving challenges to Love.
Allgeier never caught more than 18 passes in a season across his four years with the Falcons. That included a 16-catch rookie year before Bijan Robinson arrived, when Allgeier trailed a 13-game Cordarrelle Patterson in receptions.
Conner played in just three games last year, but the year before found him ranking just 25th among all RBs in route share.
Love should easily lead Arizona's backfield receiving, and we're betting he'll lead the squad in carries as well. The question, however, will be the size of the workload.
The rookie sits 13th among RBs in consensus PPR ADP as of this writing, at the Round 2-3 turn in 12-team drafts. Combine that with the workload question and Arizona's No. 28 ranking in Fantasy Environment Score, and there's some risk to Love.
That said, Love sits in the same No. 13 spot in our RB rankings for PPR. So he's worth considering ... just not a lock to pay off.
