Biggest ADP movers in Yahoo fantasy football as of Sept. 1
Brian Robinson may see more goal-line carries, potentially affecting Bijan Robinson's fantasy value
Patriots add depth at running back through trade with Cardinals
The Cardinals are uncertain if veteran running back James Conner will be ready for Week 1 against the Chargers as he continues to recover from a foot injury. Conner's practice participation has been limited this summer, and while he is making progress, his availability for the opener remains in doubt. If Conner and Jeremiyah Love (ankle injury) are unable to play, Tyler Allgeier would be the lead back
Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Robinson joined the team this past offseason to help offer some support in the backfield after the departure of Tyler Allgeier. Robinson started in the preseason opener, but didn't see any action during their second preseason contest. The expectation is that Robinson will take over as the RB2 in Atlanta with Allgeier moving on to Arizona. The former third-round pick posted multiple quality years with the San Francisco 49ers. Robinson didn't see a ton of action last year with the Washington Commanders, but his YPC was solid at 4.35 this past season. The Falcons don't have a ton of reliable depth behind starter Bijan Robinson, so the overall competition is limited. The 27-year-old figures to serve as the primary backup, but Bijan Robinson is a workhorse back, so his overall value is likely capped

Trey Benson returns to Arizona's injured reserve list after clearing waivers
The Arizona Cardinals waived running back Trey Benson (knee) with an injured designation on Monday in order to make room on the roster for linebacker Josh Sweat, who was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to Darren Urban of the team's official website. Benson, a former third-rounder in 2024 from Florida State, only played in four games last year due to a season-ending left-knee injury, and he had recently missed time in training camp with more issues with the same knee. In two seasons in Arizona, Benson played in just 17 total games and racked up 451 yards on 92 carries, averaging 4.9 yards per attempt. Another NFL team will probably have interest in adding Benson to their RB room, but only if he can get over his left-knee issues. Going forward in Arizona, the Cardinals head into the 2026 season with Tyler Allgeier, rookie first-rounder Jeremiyah Love (ankle), and veteran James Conner (foot) as their top-three RBs

Jeremiyah Love looked as advertised and then some in his preseason debut. The only problem? He didn't emerge from it healthy. The No. 3 overall pick suffered a high ankle sprain on his final touch of the night and is unlikely to play again this preseason, leaving the Cardinals hopeful he can return for a Week 1 contest against the Chargers on Sept. 13, per ESPN's Adam Schefter . Here's a look at the injury, which came late in the second quarter: the more you watch the tackle, the worse it looks with Jeremiyah Love's feet getting pinned https://t.co/HL11rW87y5 pic.twitter.com/FiYepEXS6c After the game, first-year coach Mike LaFleur said Love "could have returned" and expected him to return in time to practice this week. But on Saturday, two days after the game, LaFleur said Love would not practice this week or play in Week 2 of the preseason against the Cowboys , per AZ Central's Theo Mackie . In fact, LaFleur did not commit to the former Notre Dame star even being available for Week 1 of the regular season, which is still nearly a month away. "He came in yesterday a little bit more sore than he left," LaFleur said . "He was in great spirits, even yesterday. ... We'll keep him out this week as we let it heal. So a little bit more than we were anticipating." When he was playing, Love looked terrific, amassing 72 yards from scrimmage on 14 touches. His explosiveness and agility jumped off the screen. Every Touch From Jeremiyah Love’s NFL Debut. 11 CAR, 3 REC, 73 Total YDS. https://t.co/ymmjgrZ4El pic.twitter.com/lSs48WuhFY The Cardinals signed Tyler Allgeier this offseason, and he has been the clear-cut top backup to Love. Arizona still has veteran James Conner and 2024 third-rounder Trey Benson, as well as journeyman Bam Knight and several others. Both Conner (returning from a severe foot/ankle injury) and Benson (knee "flare-up") have been dealing with injuries in the preseason. It's a fair question. Love started and played until there were just seconds left before halftime. Love's 14 touches were by far the most of any rookie drafted in the first four rounds. His 23 offensive snaps were second-most of any first-round rookie skill position player, only Browns wide receiver KC Concepcion (24). After the game, LaFleur said he had planned before the game to get Love double-digit touches and concluded with "I like where he was at with the touches." One day later, of course, LaFleur learned Love's prognosis wasn't as promising as it seemed and then explained why, in his mind, it was important for Love to explain so much. “It’s a rookie that hadn’t played.” Arizona Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur on why Jeremiyah Love played as much as he did in his preseason debut. pic.twitter.com/Xp3WfkKrwy This is a miss for LaFleur, especially considering every other offensive starter had already left the game. Jacoby Brissett , his top targets ( Trey McBride , Marvin Harrison Jr . and Michael Wilson ), and the entire starting offensive line all played only one series, a 10-play drive that resulted in an Arizona touchdown. Again, Love played 23 snaps. LaFleur is a first-year coach, and balancing preseason playing time with player safety is a difficult task. Yes, it was an unlucky way for this to turn out, but Love didn't need to be out there in the first place. This is a bit of a triple-whammy for Arizona's rookies. Second-round guard Chase Bisontis tore his MCL in Thursday's win and is out for the season. Carson Beck missed the game due to some rib discomfort, though LaFleur said there's "no concern level really." As for the running back rotation, things have taken a bit of a turn. Arizona appeared to be a potential seller ahead of roster cuts. Conner is yet to take 11-on-11 snaps in practice, but the two-time Pro Bowler is getting closer to a return. With Love and Allgeier ahead of him in the pecking order, though, and the Cardinals not yet ready to compete, he could be an enticing trade candidate when healthy. He had consecutive 1,0 [... truncated ...]
Allgeier could open the regular season as the Cardinals' primary running back, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Jeremiyah Love sustained a high-ankle sprain in Thursday's preseason win over the Raiders. The Cardinals are hoping that Love will recover in time to suit up for the regular-season opener against the Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 13, but the rookie third overall pick almost certainly won't play again during the preseason and could miss regular-season action as well since he faces a multi-week recovery timeline with less than a month to go until the season. If Love is sidelined or limited to begin the regular season, Allgeier would be in line to get the majority of backfield opportunities for the Cardinals, though James Conner (foot) or Trey Benson (knee) also could enter the mix if they recover from their respective injuries
A night to forget for the Falcons
Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said on Thursday night that rookie running back Jeremiyah Love could have returned to the team’s preseason game against the Raiders after injuring his ankle, but the injury has turned out to be a bit more serious. LaFleur told reporters on Saturday morning that Love’s ankle is a “little more sore” and that he will miss at least the next week of work as a result. That will keep Love out for next Saturday’s preseason game against the Cowboys. LaFleur would not commit to Love’s return ahead of the team’s third preseason game and said that they will re-evaluate the third overall pick’s status down the line. Tyler Allgeier, James Connor, Trey Benson, Bam Knight, Evan Hull, and Corey Kiner are the other backs in Arizona
Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Robinson Jr. was the team's starting running back in Friday's 27-7 preseason loss to the Broncos, playing on the team's first two drives in the first quarter, recording two carries for six yards. While it wasn't a stat-stuffing performance, the former third-rounder came out of the game unscathed and solidified his status as the team's RB2 behind Bijan Robinson, who did not play in the contest. That RB2 role was filled by the now-departed Tyler Allgeier last season, but Allgeier was able to rack up 143 carries for 514 yards and eight scores last year behind Bijan. If Robinson Jr. can garner anywhere near those numbers, especially at the goal line, then he'll certainly have fantasy relevance. The 27-year-old is currently ranked as the RB48 in RotoBaller's rankings, coincidentally, right behind the aforementioned Allgeier
The first unofficial depth charts of the NFL preseason are out, offering initial insights into team standings. Key takeaways include the Arizona Cardinals' high draft pick Jeremiyah Love facing competition from veteran Tyler Allgeier and James Conner, and the Atlanta Falcons needing their pass rush to step up with Jalon Walker injured and James Pearce Jr. suspended, featuring Brandon Dorlus and Cameron Thomas as potential starters
Allgeier rushed four times for 19 yards and wasn't targeted in the Cardinals' 27-14 preseason win over the Raiders on Thursday. Allgeier and rookie third overall pick Jeremiyah Love were the two Cardinals running backs to log touches on the team's opening possession. Allgeier's first opportunity came after Love had seen two rush attempts and recorded a reception, but the former proceeded to rattle off consecutive seven-yard runs on his first pair of carries. Allgeier also had a five-yard rush on the Cardinals' second drive, and his team debut was an encouraging one overall. The veteran's exact regular-season role in a crowded backfield remains to be determined, but it's worth noting Allgeier has ample experience complementing a star back after playing alongside Bijan Robinson in Atlanta for the last three seasons

Even for rookies, the NFL preseason can be a mixed bag at best. But these 9 players are worth keeping an eye on
Following Bijan Robinson's contract signing, Brian Robinson Jr. has been demoted to the second-team offense in Falcons training camp. After a disappointing season with the 49ers, his role in Atlanta is expected to be that of a handcuff to Bijan Robinson, with little standalone fantasy value
The Cardinals didn’t draft running back Jeremiyah Love with the third overall pick so he could sit on the bench, but they’re not going to declare him the starter just yet. Currently, the Cardinals’ depth chart lists Tyler Allgeier as the first-string running back. Love is second string. Realistically, there’s almost no chance that Love, barring injury, isn’t the Cardinals’ top running back for the regular season. But NFL teams often wait until a rookie has earned a starting job before listing him as the starter on the team’s published depth chart. No. 3 on the running back depth chart in Arizona is James Conner, followed by Trey Benson, Bam Knight and Corey Kiner
