As we dive into the offseason, it's time to get our fantasy football fix—and what better way to kick things off than with a deep dive into the rookie class? Next up on our radar is Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love, a prospect many scouts hailed as the best in the entire draft, regardless of position.
Love now heads to the desert, where the Cardinals are hitting the reset button across the board. Without a franchise quarterback under center, the offensive burden will fall squarely on his shoulders. But what does that mean for his fantasy potential? Let's break it down.
The Cardinals didn't address the quarterback position in free agency or with significant draft capital in the 2026 NFL Draft. That means the passing game is likely to be simplified, which is great news for Love. Expect more targets and a heavier workload for the rookie running back. While having a reliable QB is always a plus, the combination of Jacoby Brissett and Carson Beck doesn't exactly inspire confidence—meaning the offense will lean even harder on Love's legs.
Love is already locked in as the top pick in dynasty rookie drafts, and he's worth a look in the first two rounds of redraft leagues too. Projections have him nearing 300 touches as a rookie, and with his explosive playing style, double-digit touchdowns are well within reach. (Mike Clay's current projection of 8 TDs might be too conservative.) The bottom line? Few rookies offer a higher floor or a more tantalizing ceiling than Jeremiyah Love this season.
