Jeremiyah Love's fantasy role in Week 2

Jeremiyah Love goes into Week 2 of the 2026 season as a every-week lineup piece at RB for the ARI. He is rostered in 99% of leagues and actually started in 78% of them, and we rank him RB19 on our own weekly board at 12 projected points.

Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.

No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.

Week 2 matchup breakdown

The matchup: vs SEA. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 2 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.

Against a typical starting RB baseline of 11 points, his 12-point projection is 1 points better. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.

How to play it

Jeremiyah Love is a fair Week 2 play — our RB19 at 12 projected points, right around the RB starter line.

If you are deciding between him and another RB, compare projections first, then lean on the Pepper Meter heat rating as the tiebreaker.

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Jeremiyah Love (ARI RB), our RB19 this week for Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season vs SEA, projecting 12.0 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. 78% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. 12 projected points is roughly 9% more than the RB baseline, and that gap is the entire argument for the spot at RB19. Facing SEA in front of his own crowd, the script reads neutral to friendly, not scary. Spicy on the Pepper Meter reflects a steady weekly floor rather than a boom week — that's still a start.
