Projections and statuses below are as of Nov 4, 2026 and change until kickoff. Current outlook: Tyler Allgeier · Zonovan Knight
The short answer
What happened: the Cardinals placed Jeremiyah Love on injured reserve on Nov 3, according to ESPN's NFL transactions list. He'd had 12.7 carries and 2.3 targets a game in 6 games this season, 24% of the Cardinals' carries and targets in those games.
Who's affected: Tyler Allgeier most, with Zonovan Knight in the same role. Sleeper's Week 9 projection, made after the move, has Tyler Allgeier at RB23 in PPR.
What it means for Week 9: In every scoring, Tyler Allgeier is a borderline start, about a coin flip against the last starters in a 12-team league: play him only over options that project lower.
Still uncertain: how long Jeremiyah Love is out (injured reserve sets a minimum stay, not a return date) and how the Cardinals split the work. No game has been played since the move, so the projections are Sleeper's estimate until the first one.

Arizona's backfield in Week 9's projections
| Player | This season | PPR | Half PPR | Standard | Now |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tyler Allgeier | 9.0 carries and 2.8 targets a game in 8 games this season | 11.9 · RB23 | 10.0 · RB23 | 8.1 · RB27 | no designation |
| Zonovan Knight | 5.6 carries and 1.8 targets a game in 5 games this season | 4.9 · RB56 | 4.3 · RB56 | 3.6 · RB57 | listed questionable for week 9 |
Projections are Sleeper's, made after the move; no game has been played since. Now: Sleeper's injury data, Nov 4. The starter line is illustrative, the top 24 backs, 30 receivers and 12 tight ends. See current projections for Tyler Allgeier and Zonovan Knight.
How the call is made: Sleeper's Week 9 projection (as of Nov 4, 6:04 a.m. ET) has Tyler Allgeier at RB23 in PPR (11.9 points), RB23 in half PPR (10.0) and RB27 in standard (8.1). Against the illustrative 12-team starter line (RB24), that's a toss-up at the line (56%) in PPR, a toss-up at the line (51%) in half PPR and a toss-up just outside the line (52%) in standard: how often a projection gap that size to the nearest player across the line went the higher one's way in 2025.
What isn't known yet
How long Jeremiyah Love is out: injured reserve sets a minimum stay, not a return date. How the work splits: the projections above are an estimate until the Cardinals play; Zonovan Knight is in the same role and could take some of it. Swindlr follows up once the first game since is in.
What could change this
- No game has been played since the move: the projections are Sleeper's estimate of the new split, not a result.
- When Jeremiyah Love comes back, the work shifts again.

How this was put together
The move is as ESPN's NFL transactions list reports it. This season's work comes from each week's box score in Swindlr's data (nflverse), in the games each player played. Projections are Sleeper's week 9 lines as of Nov 4, 6:04 a.m. ET, made after the move, scored by Swindlr in PPR, half PPR and standard and ranked among players expected to play. How close a call is comes from how often a projection gap that size went the higher projection's way in 2025, on a curve fitted separately for each scoring. Written before any game since the move; nothing here is a result.
