Jeremiyah Love Cardinals Fantasy Value + Jadarian Price Seahawks | 2026 Draft Rankings Impact

0:00 All right, Dave.

0:02 Jeremiah Love.

0:03 Let's compare him to Harold Fannon Jr.

0:09 When are you drafting Jeremiah Love?

0:11 I will draft Jeremiah Love ahead of Harold Fannon Jr.

0:15 I will draft Jeremiah Love in a full PPR league.

0:18 He's a round two pick.

0:20 I've got him at 20 right now.

0:23 If it's nonPPR, he's going to be closer to 12.

0:26 I can't help myself.

0:27 I think he's really good.

0:29 You like him better in non-PR than full PPR?

0:31 Oh, just running back.

0:32 I get it.

0:34 No, that's overall.

0:35 But, you know, running back thing receivers value

0:39 their value goes down obviously because the catches don't count.

0:43 No, I get it.

0:43 I get it.

0:44 Right.

0:44 Um, and I'm not like I I wouldn't freak out

0:47 too much over Tyler Algier and James Connor being there.

0:51 And they might take they might take him off the field 35% of the time, but

0:57 I wish they had

0:59 Love's going to be their dude.

1:00 I wish they had more starting offensive

1:02 linemen than they had starting running backs.

1:06 That's really nice.

1:07 Their line is a problem, right?

1:10 And and that was part of the reason why I didn't

1:12 think the question of Price being better than Love was so outrageous.

1:15 I mean, we we've seen a guy in Ash and Genty go to a team with a terrible

1:20 offensive line and have the same kind of profile

1:23 that you look at with Love and Genty.

1:26 I mentioned this last week, I think,

1:27 where they both destroyed bad competition and struggled

1:31 against good competition in their last year in college.

1:34 And it was a rough year for um for him for uh for Genty.

1:38 He was I think it was RB 16 per game.

1:41 So, um but yeah.

1:42 All right.

1:42 So So Dave's got him in round two, 20th overall.

1:45 Heath, where would you have Jeremiah Love right now?

1:48 I was I'm embarrassed to say I was thinking round four.

1:53 I'm close.

1:53 I want to hear it.

1:54 I want to hear it.

1:55 It's close to that too, Heath.

1:56 Don't worry.

1:57 Wow.

1:57 No, I just I and it may be a little maybe I'm

2:00 overreacting a little bit to what we just saw from Mast and Genty,

2:04 but I think he's awesome and was awesome last year also.

2:08 And the situation was just so bad that it didn't really matter.

2:15 And I think this could be almost worse because while I don't think Tyler Algier

2:21 and James Connor and Trey Benson and whoever

2:23 else is still on the roster like really matter,

2:27 I think they're probably going to have a bigger share

2:29 of the touches than the backup guys in Las Vegas did last year.

2:33 Yeah.

2:34 And so if it's a if it's less of a workhorse

2:38 role on an equally bad offensive line and run game,

2:44 which his run game was putrid last year, I I'm a little nervous.

2:49 I'm not not for the long term.

2:51 Like I'm still very excited for Dynasty, but I'm a little nervous for this year.

2:56 Yeah.

2:56 And and also Jeremiah Love is a guy who has three games

3:00 in his career with 20 or more targets or 20 or more carries, pardon me.

3:04 They were all this year, this past year,

3:06 whereas Ashton Genty had over 700 carries, I think, as in college.

3:12 So he he was used to a big workload.

3:14 Love isn't.

3:15 So if they want to kind of ease him in, they certainly have an excuse.

3:18 Um all right.

3:19 So Jamie, you said you're close to to round four on

3:22 He's round three for me, but like middle of round three.

3:26 So, all right.

3:28 So, that's like Bucky Irving or Jeremiah Love.

3:32 Love.

3:34 Okay.

3:33 I have love one spot higher.

3:36 Josh Jacobs or Love?

3:39 Jacobs.

3:40 Jacobs.

3:41 Jacobs.

3:41 Kairen Williams or Love.

3:43 That's the cut off for me.

3:44 I have him right behind Kairen right now.

3:46 Kairen for me.

3:50 Love.

3:50 Okay.

3:51 I think look, we I'm hoping, you know,

3:54 to to sort of talk tie in the the receivers as well.

3:57 Like I would love to see the Titans move

3:58 on from Calvin Ridley just to get rid of that headache.

4:00 I'd love to see the Cardinals obviously move on from one of these guys.

4:03 Most likely it's going to be James Connor.

4:05 If anything, maybe Trey Benson,

4:06 but like if they go in with those guys and the fact

4:10 that they paid Algier and Connor's resume is still pretty impressive,

4:15 it's not like Love is walking into Gent's role.

4:18 And that's the scary part is Genty walked into that role last year.

4:22 Forget about the environment, how bad it was.

4:24 We thought, okay, he's gonna get all this work.

4:26 He's a special talent.

4:26 He's going to be awesome.

4:28 Take him to the first round.

4:29 No hesitation, right?

4:30 And mistake.

4:32 We made the same mistake with Bejian Robinson.

4:34 Hey, talk about Tyler Alier in his rookie season, right?

4:36 Bejian Robinson, special talent.

4:38 He's awesome.

4:38 Here's Arthur Smith.

4:39 Let's ruin that guy.

4:41 So, I think you look at the situation with the Cardinals

4:44 and hopefully it's all Jeremiah Love like Dave was saying,

4:48 you know, like he's gonna be the guy.

4:49 And I think that's going to be the case to the optimistic view of it.

4:54 But we know how NFL coaches are.

4:55 If he's not protecting his quarterback that well,

4:57 well, there's James Connor still being, you know, useful.

5:00 If he's not getting the job done at the goal line,

5:02 there's Tyler Algier still getting the opportunities that we

5:04 saw even last year when Bejan was awesome.

5:07 So, I think Jeremiah Love is worth

5:09 taking as a borderline number one running back.

5:11 I think he's obviously worth taking as a starting fantasy running back.

5:14 He obviously has the ability to be a special

5:16 talent and be the focal point of a Cardinals offense.

5:19 Has a lot of really good players.

5:20 You know, they're missing an offensive line that is,

5:23 you know, substandard, let's just say.

5:24 And clearly the quarterback play is a little bit concerning

5:27 especially if of all things you know 2026 Jacobe Br is

5:30 a hold out but continues to be the the the the you

5:34 know sticking point throughout the rest of this offseason.

5:36 Then we'll see what they do the rest

5:38 of the draft and they're trying to find that guy.

5:40 But it just feels like we've been burned by this top

5:43 rookie running back each of the last two seasons.

5:45 Now this guy walks into another bad situation in a crowded backfield.

5:49 Just get one guy out of there.

5:51 Let's just make it easier on all of us.

5:52 Get one guy out of there.

5:53 And again, Connor makes the most sense.

5:55 I think you're just looking at it as if

5:57 you you're excited about him as a talent,

5:59 you're going to be excited to draft him

6:01 in those spot where Dave is talking about.

6:03 I think if you're taking the cautious approach, again,

6:05 just looking at what this rookie running what the number one rookie

6:08 running back has done or lack thereof each of the last two seasons,

6:11 you take a little bit more of uh you

6:13 know where Heath and I are probably coming from.

6:15 All right.

6:16 I we have been burned by the last two, Bjan Robinson and Ashton Genty.

6:22 Genty got the workload that we wanted though.

6:24 But before that, I mean,

6:26 it felt like a layup for a guy to be

6:28 drafted this early and then be really good in fantasy.

6:31 Um, where was Todd Gurley?

6:33 He was late round one, I think.

6:35 Right.

6:35 Uh, no, I think he was

6:39 seven.

6:38 Top half of Oh, you mean for fantasy?

6:40 No, no, no.

6:41 In the NFL draft.

6:42 Why do I think he was early?

6:44 Well, he was amazing as a rookie.

6:49 Girly.

6:49 Girly early.

6:49 Uh, Zeke was amazing.

6:51 Fornette because he got 23.4

6:55 per game.

6:55 What was he?

6:56 He was the 10th overall pick in the 2015 draft.

6:59 Okay.

6:59 So, so top 10.

7:00 So, Gurley was great.

7:01 Zeke was great.

7:02 Fornette was he wasn't great as a player,

7:05 but he was the number eight running back that year.

7:08 Yeah.

7:08 Barkley was the man.

7:10 So, before that, any running back taken in the top 10 was a shoe.

7:14 It was a was a surefire stud.

7:16 And then the last two burned us.

7:17 Bejian because of workload.

7:19 Genty because of efficiency.

7:21 Um, and then yeah, I mean that's my like

7:23 what's the workload going to be for Love?

7:24 All right, but let's move on to Price though,

7:26 so we can talk about the wide receivers as well.

7:28 Um, when Dave, I think you said the 56 turn for Jadarian Price,

7:33 that's where I've got him right now.

7:34 Jamie, how about you?

7:36 Same spot, Keith.

7:37 That sounds really good.

7:39 Okay, so looking at the last draft we did,

7:42 post free agency draft or last draft I was in.

7:45 Anyway, uh DeAndre Swift was there,

7:47 Chuba Hubard was around there, Javvante Williams was around there.

7:52 Jamie, what do you think?

7:53 Williams over Price, Swift over Price, Price over Chuba.

7:59 Yep.

8:00 Okay, Dave, you agree?

8:02 Oh, yeah.

8:02 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

8:03 Don't wait for Who gets more work this year, Price or um Swift?

8:10 I would say the totality would be in favor of Swift, but it's close.

8:13 Just depends on when Charbanet is coming back.

8:15 Right.

8:15 If Charbanet really needs a lot of time, it's going to be price.

8:21 So, I have done a little bit of uh projections work

8:25 and I have it at 271 for price, 270 for Swift.

8:30 No, that hurts my feelings.

8:31 You were you were obviously doing that while I was speaking.

8:34 While you were what?

8:35 speaking just now you doing the projection work.

8:39 No, no, I was doing it during the drift.

8:43 Okay.

8:43 I thought you said it was hard to do a projection,

8:45 so I thought you did it in the last 10 minutes.

8:46 I was doing it in the 17 minutes from when you texted I'm

8:49 going into the room and when you actually showed up on the stream.

8:51 Oh boy.

8:53 Uh let me just ask you a hypothetical just

8:55 so I get to know how you feel about Price.

8:58 If Zack Charbanet were out for the year, where would you take Jadarian Price?

9:05 four or five turn.

9:07 I was going to say very close to Jeremiah Lof.

9:14 Okay.

9:13 I I I would consider putting him ahead of some

9:16 of the running backs that we just got done talking about.

9:18 Jabbonte Swift.

9:20 Swift for sure.

9:21 Yeah.

9:22 That that's that's the middle around four.

9:26 Okay.

9:27 Well, that's a silly hypothetical because I

9:29 don't think that's going to be the case.

9:30 But everything that we're talking about on this show

9:31 is a silly hypothetical at this point.

9:33 Yeah, there two more nights of the NFL draft for things to change, right?

9:37 Um, was there a destination that you did not like

9:41 for fantasy tonight for one of the skill position players?

9:44 Jeremiah Love to the Cardinal.

9:45 Jeremiah Love Sadik is the worst one ever.

9:50 Yes, that's also awful.

9:51 I liked it before they drafted Cooper.
