Fantasy Football Video: Best landing spots for top RB prospect Jeremiyah Love in the 2026 NFL Draft
Jeremiyah Love is the clear top prospect at RB for fantasy football managers to know.
The 2026 NFL Draft is less than a month away and soon we’ll have a new crop of players to sift through for fantasy football. Among them is the top RB prospect out of Notre Dame, Jeremiyah Love, who headlines what is considered a weak class at the position. Yahoo analyst Matt Harmon was joined by Ray Garvin to talk about the best potential landing spots for Love for fantasy value on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast podcast.
Harmon begs the question: Will Love be a top-15 pick in redraft fantasy football leagues going into 2026? And Garvin responds by pointing to last year’s top rookie RB in Ashton Jeanty, which could spawn some PTSD for fantasy managers who were spurned by the hype. There were certainly some analysts who were skeptical of Jeanty coming from a Mountain West team vs.
a Power conference team. In Love’s case, many believe that the Washington Commanders will target the Notre Dame back in the top-10 at No. 7 overall.
That landing spot feels like a better situation than the New Orleans Saints, who could add Love to a backfield already featuring newly-signed free-agent RB, Travis Etienne Jr. Garvin had mocked Love to the Commanders back in January and that prediction has only gotten stronger backing as we approach the draft. Ray also throws out the New York Giants at No.
