Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier's fantasy outlook was murky after the team drafted Jeremiyah Love (ankle) third overall, but it appears that he could now have some short-term fantasy relevance as a flex option early in the season.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence was the overall QB4 in fantasy football leagues last year. He achieved this personal-best mark thanks to increased productivity on the ground, including a career-high nine rushing touchdowns.

This year's rookie running back class was, unfortunately, not anywhere close to that of 2025 in terms of talent.
