Sneak Peek: Jeremiyah Love
Player Comparisons:
Ceiling - Bijan Robinson, Jamaal Charles
Floor - Javonte Williams, C.J. Spiller
Projected Pick: Early-to-mid 1st Round
Ideal Landing Spots: Giants, Commanders, Titans
Jeremiyah Love was a 2025 Heisman finalist with back-to-back 1,100+ rushing yard seasons, averaging 6.9 yards per carry. He accumulated over 500 receiving yards, as well as 40 rushing touchdowns across 2024 and 2025 — scoring at least one rushing TD in 25 of his 28 games across that span.
Love is 6’0”, 214lbs, has elite shiftiness, and high-level pass-catching ability. He faces a similar “weak competition” critique as Ashton Jeanty did - but we are not concerned about it… at all. His spin is one of the best of any RB we have ever evaluated.
Love’s 117.3 speed score ranks in the 83rd percentile, his 10.5% collegiate target share suggests there is real receiving potential, and his 19.3 breakout age is the earliest of any drafted back.
Love’s draft capital projection, pass-catching ability, and breakaway speed make him the locked-in RB1 for both NFL and dynasty drafts.
Fantasy Outlook for 2026 - Our Takes:
He’s immediately the most fantasy-relevant player in this class
He is going to go within the first four rounds of redraft leagues - perhaps higher depending on the landing spot
There is nobody else worth considering with the #1 pick in Dynasty leagues
40+ constantly updated rookie write-ups just like this one can be found in the Rookie Guide! You NEED to check it out before the draft!
