Jeremiyah Love Trending Toward Week 1 for Cardinals

Love nearing a return for Arizona

Arizona coach Mike LaFleur says he's optimistic rookie running back Jeremiyah Love will suit up Sunday at the Chargers. Love suffered a high ankle sprain in a preseason game roughly four weeks ago, and his availability had been in doubt heading into the opener.

What it means for your survivor pick

This is a road opener against the Chargers, so the Cardinals aren't an obvious safe pick regardless of Love's status. Optimism isn't a guarantee — high ankle sprains linger, and a rookie coming off nearly a month out could be limited or a game-time call. If you're weighing Arizona this week, treat Love's snap count and workload as an open question and lean on cleaner options if you have them. For a road underdog dependent on a rookie back's health, the smarter survivor move is often to wait and see. Not sure how to value a spot like this?
