2026 Week 7 Fantasy Football Breaking News: Jeremiyah Love Expected to Practice Wednesday

The Cardinals' top RB returns to practice after missing two games with a sprained ankle — here's what it means for your roster.

Jeremiyah Love is trending toward a return, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur confirmed Monday that Love will practice Wednesday, though he stopped short of guaranteeing anything beyond that: "We'll see how the week goes."

Love — the third overall pick — has missed the past two games with a sprained left ankle, a separate injury from the right ankle he hurt in the preseason. The Cardinals shut him down after he played through the left ankle sprain he sustained in Week 4. Getting back to a Wednesday practice is a meaningful first step, but LaFleur's hedging means he's not a lock to play in Week 7 until we see what his practice designations look like later this week.

In redraft, hold him if you have the roster space — don't panic-drop a third overall pick mid-recovery. In dynasty, his value is unchanged; this ankle situation has been a nuisance, not a red flag about his long-term role. Monitor his Wednesday and Thursday designations closely before making any start/sit call.

The direct beneficiaries of his absence — Bam Knight and Tyler Allgeier — saw elevated roles while Love was out. If Love suits up and plays a full complement of snaps, their fantasy value drops back sharply. Don't roster either as anything more than a handcuff this week unless Love is officially ruled out.
