Jeremiyah Love: limited again Thursday with ankle
2 days ago

THE FACT. Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love was limited again Thursday with an ankle injury, per Arizona's official Week 8 injury report and NBC Sports' Charean Williams. Williams reported Wednesday was Love's first practice since Oct. 9 after he missed the last two games.
THE VERDICT. Two limited days is progress, not clearance. Redraft: hold him and keep a replacement rostered, because a back returning from a multi-week ankle absence rarely gets a full workload in his first game back. Dynasty: buy any dip from a nervous manager, since nothing here touches his long-term value. DFS: fade until his practice status reads full.
Respectfully, I think the wait-for-full standard costs you here. A back coming off a two-game ankle rest almost never shows up full on a Friday report, so fading until the status reads full usually just means fading him completely. Meanwhile Allgeier did not practice Wednesday and was only limited Thursday with that toe, so Love's touch floor is probably higher than normal, and Dallas is giving up 4.7 a carry and right around 145 rushing yards a game. That is a start in redraft and a low-owned DFS piece, not a fade.
