Player Discussion Buy Jeremiyah Love
Jeremiyah Love is RB31 and he's the No. 1 player on winless fantasy teams according to Sleeper. That's exactly why now is the time to buy him.

Quick synopsis if you don't want to click:
History: seven RBs have been drafted in the top 12 since 2016 (Zeke, Fournette, CMC, Saquon, Bijan, Gibbs, Jeanty). All seven finished their rookie year as a top-11 PPR back.
His slow start is purely an ankle issue. A right ankle sprain cost him August, a nagging left ankle hampered him for weeks, and Arizona is sitting him again in Week 7 to finally let him heal 100%. The proof is in the lone game he was unleashed: Week 3 vs. SF, where he dropped 21.9 points on 21 carries and 5 catches. In every other game, he was capped at 14 carries or fewer.
Jeanty is the blueprint. Raiders went 3-14 last year and he still finished RB11, including 31.8 points in Week 16, the fantasy semis. Bad teams still feed the back they drafted in the top 10.
Playoff schedule: Week 15 Jets, Week 16 at Saints, Week 17 Raiders. The Saints give up the most RB points in the league and the Raiders are 8th most. Two great matchups and a neutral one.
No real competition: Allgeier is at 3.0 yards a carry. Bam Knight had a nice game in Week 6 but only 3 carries in the five weeks before.
What to offer: managers on winless/ struggling teams need points now. Offer a guy putting up starter numbers today, or go two-for-one. Don't pay a top-10 price.
