Arizona Cardinals backfield overview

If Jeremiyah Love misses time

Tyler Allgeier is listed RB2 on the Arizona Cardinals depth chart behind Jeremiyah Love (Questionable). Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

Trey Benson: Out (espn_rosters) Jeremiyah Love: Questionable; Limited Participation in Practice (espn_summary) James Conner: Out (espn_rosters)

Thick, downhill early-down and short-yardage runner, four years as Bijan Robinson's complement in Atlanta. Listed RB1 on Arizona's Week 1 chart while Love recovers. Would be the between-the-tackles workhorse if Love missed time, but not a passing-down answer.
