The 2026 NFL Draft is in the rearview mirror, and for dynasty fantasy football managers, the conversation has shifted. It's no longer about how these rookies stack up against each other—it's about where they fit in the broader dynasty landscape. And no name is generating more buzz right now than Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love.
Selected third overall by the Cardinals, Love was the 1.01 pick in most dynasty rookie drafts. That's rare air for a running back, who typically don't go that high in the NFL draft. But Love isn't your typical back. With elite college production at Notre Dame and top-tier draft capital, his dynasty stock is through the roof. So, is he worth the hype? Let's break down his current ranking on Keep Trade Cut (KTC), whether that value makes sense, and if you should be buying or selling.
Right now, Love sits at RB3 on KTC. That's a bold ranking for a player who hasn't taken a single NFL snap. But in dynasty, youth is king—especially at running back, where careers can be short. Unlike wide receivers or quarterbacks, RBs often hit the ground running (pun intended). Still, Love is ranked ahead of Ashton Jeanty, the top RB from the 2025 class, which raises some eyebrows.
The only backs ranked above Love are Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs—and that feels right. Both are proven elite talents. But should Love really be ahead of Jeanty (RB4) or Omarion Hampton (RB6)? That's the debate. In superflex formats, Love checks in at 15th overall; in 1QB leagues, he's 10th. Those are premium spots for a rookie who has yet to play a down.
So, should you trade for him? Based on his current KTC ranking, the answer might be to sell. Ranking a rookie running back at 15th overall in superflex is a bit rich. If you can find a manager willing to pay that price, it could be a smart move to cash in and strengthen other positions. But if you're a believer in Love's talent and the Cardinals' offense, holding on could pay off big time. Either way, Love is a name you'll be hearing all season—so make sure your roster is ready.
