Derek Brown· Aug 11, 2026
Brown is fading RJ Harvey, Bucky Irving, Zach Charbonnet, TreVeyon Henderson and Jeremiyah Love relative to their draft cost, citing crowded backfields, injuries and efficiency concerns; he expects Love to be Arizona's lead back but not an RB1.
“Harvey is a decent selection in fantasy drafts this season, but in 2026, I won't go out of my way to get him on all my teams like last year.”

RJ Harvey to fall short of his draft cost (RB33, Overall RK91 | ECR vs. ADP: -15)
“Harvey is a decent selection in fantasy drafts this season, but in 2026, I won't go out of my way to get him on all my teams like last year.”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
Jeremiyah Love to fall short of his draft cost (RB14, Overall RK34 | ECR vs. ADP: -8)
“The cluttered backfield and worrisome scoring environment could hinder Love in 2026, keeping him as a strong RB2, but locking him out of RB1 status.”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
Bucky Irving to fall short of his draft cost (RB22, Overall RK57 | ECR vs. ADP: -13)
“Irving could be a nice bounce-back candidate in 2026 or a massive disappointment that loses work to Gainwell and Tucker all year. I'll buy the dip if he slips in some drafts, but I won't go out of my way to draft him this season.”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
- Depth Chart CallsJeremiyah LoveArizona CardinalsAug 11, 2026
Jeremiyah Love to be 1st on the depth chart
“With that type of draft capital investment, I think Love will be Arizona's lead back in 2026, but he could have his workload eaten into by Allgeier and/or Conner.”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
TreVeyon Henderson to fall short of his draft cost (RB24, Overall RK61 | ECR vs. ADP: -12)
“Henderson could eat into Stevenson's workload more in 2026 if he can take another step and payoff as an RB2, but he 's best viewed as an upside RB3.”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
Zach Charbonnet to fall short of his draft cost (RB47, Overall RK137 | ECR vs. ADP: -13)
“This unknown/moving timeline has me shying away from Charbonnet for 2026... Charbonnet could be a decent flex play this season at some point.”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
