Fantasy Football Video: A tale of two backs — who will be better, Jeremiyah Love or Jadarian Price?

Despite splitting work in Year 1 for the Falcons, Robinson posted eight total touchdowns while Allgeier had just four.

As for Love and Price, the Cardinals used high draft equity to add the former while the latter went late in the first round. Boone points to the backs we’ve seen go toward the end of the first round historically — not a great hit rate.

Boone slams home the point by rattling off that in the past 13 years, RBs taken in the top-12 picks in the draft all finished RB14 or better in fantasy as rookies. This group includes Robinson (RB12), Ashton Jeanty (RB14), Jahmyr Gibbs (RB9), Saquon Barkley (RB3), Christian McCaffrey (RB11) and Leonard Fournette (RB8). Even Trent Richardson did it as a rookie.

Boone is excited to take Love, given this information, and has the rookie ranked in the low RB1 range going into 2026. As for Price, Boone will be happy if the back can get into the low-end RB2 range for fantasy.

Harmon plays devil’s advocate a bit by pointing out that Price has a clear path to high-end RB2 status in a good rushing ecosystem and overall situation in Seattle. Kenneth Walker III walked in free agency and Zach Charbonnet is hurt. If Price does well this summer, he could have an easy time getting to the top of the Seahawks’ RB depth chart.

Harmon also begs the question: how many TDs are the Cardinals going to score if Allgeier is vulturing TDs? While Harmon thinks the question isn’t totally out of bounds, he still views Love in a tier above Price. The odds of Love being “incredible” are simply higher than Price.
