News: 11 hours agoLove (ankle) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Spin: Love has logged back-to-back DNPs to begin the practice week and appears well on his way to missing a second straight contest Sunday against the Broncos. With Love sidelined for Week 6 against the Rams, Tyler Allgeier narrowly out-snapped Bam Knight 40 to 32, but it was Knight who was far more effective in the box score. While Allgeier out-carried him 15 to 13, Knight picked up 80 rushing yards to Allgeier's 38. Knight added two catches for 18 yards on two targets and would be a worthwhile RB2/flex option in fantasy if Love does miss Sunday's game.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Love was selected by the Cardinals with the No. 3 overall pick of April's draft. Love has good size and terrific speed (4.36 40-yard dash) to go along with a three-down skill set. He led this year's rookie class in both yards per carry (6.66) and yards after contact (4.16) while ranking second in forced missed tackle rate (3.5) during his collegiate career. He's a capable receiver at all levels, a competent pass blocker and protects the ball well (one fumble on 496 career touches). Love will immediately slot in as Arizona's feature back and, especially considering each of the past nine running backs drafted in the top 12 went on to finish top 12 in fantasy points as a rookie, he should be valued as a midrange RB1 with elite upside.
