Albert Breer of SI reports that Jeremiyah Love’s Week 1 workload is probably a good window into how they’ll manage his rookie year workload. Love had 11 carries and 2 catches, compared to Tyler Allgeier’s 17 carries and 2 catches.
While Love can be projected to eventually earn the majority of touches and snap share (Allgeier out-snapped Love 59-43%) by the end of the year, expectations of him matching his ADP should be tempered. James Conner also waits in the wings on IR to take some snaps away upon his return – likely not enough to be fantasy relevant himself, but perhaps enough to be annoying for fantasy football managers with Jeremiyah Love on their team. Accordingly, Love is PlayerProfiler’s No. 23 RB in redraft rankings, while we are still very high on his long-term potential, placing as PlayerProfiler’s No. 4 RB in dynasty rankings.
