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 (espn_rosters) James Conner: Out (espn_rosters)
Leads Arizona's backfield again in Week 7 with Love ruled out, but it is a genuine share, not a takeover: he took 18 carries for 38 yards against the Rams while Bam Knight ran 15 times for 80 in the Cardinals' season-high 120-yard rushing day. LaFleur insisted Knight's game had no bearing on the Love decision. Volume is real; efficiency and goal-line work are not guaranteed.
