2026 Draft note
Love is the best pure running back prospect since Saquon Barkley and the PFF data backs it up. He posted a 98th-percentile PFF Run Grade (93.7), a 93rd-percentile yards after contact per attempt (4.5), a 92nd-percentile PFF Elusive Rating (127.5), and a 95th-percentile yards per route run (1.83)—a four-stat profile that screams three-down workhorse. The receiving chops matter here; Marcus Freeman has said he thinks Love could play wide receiver at the next level. I even heard comparisons to Christian McCaffrey before the pick was made. Arizona’s backfield was a complete wasteland last year—no back even hit 100 carries. Love walks into an immediate bell-cow role with minimal serious competition, though an August high-ankle sprain is a serious setback for a rookie who needs the camp reps. The quarterback situation (Jacoby Brissett/Gardner Minshew/Carson Beck) limits this offense’s ceiling, but his volume floor should be rock-solid, and the Cardinals invested in the offensive line, adding guards Isaac Seumalo and Elijah Wilkinson in free agency. I view Love as a high-end RB2 in early fantasy drafts.
