Unfortunately, the injury was not minor as video evidence shows Jeremiyah Love‘s ankle being severely torqued during an open field tackle vs. Las Vegas. Expect the Cardinals to underplay the severity of the injury all season. His elite top-three draft capital and a 97th-percentile Speed Score backed by an 11.4-percent College Target Share positions Love to command high-value touches once cleared, but his timeline for a return to full efficiency is shrouded in doubt.
A rookie running back playing for a bottom-five team facing a potentially serious high ankle sprain and subsequent intense rehabilitation is absolute worse case scenario for Love enthusiasts in both best ball and dynasty league formats. Redrafters would be wise to sidestep this landmine in fantasy leagues this month.
