2026 Week 6 Fantasy Football Breaking News: Trent McDuffie and Jeremiyah Love Both Out for Rams-Cardinals

Two notable names are out for Sunday's Rams-Cardinals game, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Cornerback Trent McDuffie is inactive after missing Friday's practice with a groin issue, and Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love was previously ruled out with an ankle injury.

Love is out, and per a separate report from ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), Tyler Allgeier is expected to step in as Arizona's lead back this week. If you need a streamer in PPR (points per reception) or standard formats, Allgeier is the direct beneficiary — add him immediately if he's available on your waiver wire. Love's dynasty managers should monitor his ankle timeline, but the source story gives no recovery details beyond this week's ruling.

McDuffie's absence is the bigger IDP (individual defensive player) and DFS news. He had registered seven passes defensed and an interception in his first season with the Rams this year — a real impact on that secondary. Without him, Cardinals receivers draw a softer cornerback matchup, which could elevate their target upside. Rams safety Kam Curl (ankle) is active despite also being questionable, so L.A. isn't completely shorthanded in the secondary. Cardinals safety Budda Baker is also active after his own questionable tag.

The connection between these two stories: Love out means Arizona's offense leans harder on the passing game to move the ball, and McDuffie out means the Cardinals' receivers face a weaker secondary. That's a double-stacking opportunity — Allgeier as a handcuff add, and Cardinals pass-catchers as potential GPP (guaranteed prize pool) tournament plays.
