Jeremiyah Love's fantasy role in Week 3
Jeremiyah Love goes into Week 3 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 77% of them, and we rank him RB18 on our own weekly board at 11.8 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 3 matchup breakdown
The matchup: at SF. 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 11.8-point projection is 0.8 points better. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Jeremiyah Love is a fair Week 3 play — our RB18 at 11.8 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 RB18 this week for Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season at SF, projecting 11.8 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. 77% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. 11.8 projected points is roughly 7% more than the RB baseline, and that gap is the entire argument for the spot at RB18. Facing SF away from home, 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.
