Fantasy Football Player Notes

One week after operating as Arizona's bell cow, Jeremiyah Love was back into a frustrating committee in Week 4. Love talked about his body being tired post-game, which could be a reason for the backslide with the workload. He also picked up or exacerbated his ankle injury. He opened this week with a limited practice. Love played 46% of the snaps with a 53.8% rushing share and a 23.1% route share (2.9% target share). He finished with 15 touches and 55 total yards. Among 45 qualifying backs, Love ranks 16th in yards after contact per attempt and 30th in missed tackle rate. He faces a run defense that has allowed the highest explosive run rate, the 12th-highest rushing success rate, and the second-most yards before contact per attempt. Love's conditioning, health, and gamescript could be limiting factors for him this week.

Tyler Allgeier was back in the mix last week with a 54% snap rate, a 30.8% rushing share, a 33.3% route share, and a 5.7% target share. Allgeier finished with ten touches and 49 total yards (one score). I expect Allgeier to flirt with 10-12 touches again this week as a solid flex play. Among 45 qualifying rushers, Allgeier ranks tenth in yards after contact per attempt and 32nd in missed tackle rate. If he can get into the end zone again this week, he'll pay off for fantasy managers. He faces a run defense that has allowed the highest explosive run rate, the 12th-highest rushing success rate, and the second-most yards before contact per attempt.
