Analyst Joel Smyth identifies rookie running back Jeremiyah Love as a defining player for the upcoming season. Despite a history of rookie RB struggles, Love projects to land with the New Orleans Saints or Kansas City Chiefs, offering favorable rushing opportunities. Historical data suggests top-12 drafted RBs often see immediate success, making Love a sleeper pick for fantasy managers.
Similarly, Malik Willis is cited as a potential game-changer if he secures a starting role. The Green Bay Packers signal-caller led the league in designed rush rate last season, providing fantasy managers with an explosive rushing option behind center.
