Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight appears to have a clear runway to be his team's lead back in a favorable Week 9 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) will be on Injured Reserve for at least one more game, and the team released veteran back Michael Carter earlier this week. Before Arizona's Week 8 bye, Knight had recorded 118 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 29 touches across his last two games. He'll likely split backfield snaps to some degree with Emari Demercado in Week 9, but Knight profiles as the early-down and goal-line back. The Cowboys have allowed the third-most rushing yards (1,168) in the NFL this season. Knight should be viewed as a low-end fantasy RB2 heading into Week 9.

Prior to his team's Week 8 bye, Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight had emerged as the team's lead back. Across two games in Weeks 6 and 7, Knight recorded 118 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 29 total touches. The Cardinals will be without running back Trey Benson (knee) for at least one more week, as Benson has missed three games since being placed on Injured Reserve with a knee injury. Additionally, Arizona has a very favorable matchup in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys, who are currently allowing opponents to score an average of 31.3 points per game. In shallower fantasy leagues where Knight may have been dropped during his bye week, managers should prioritize adding him off the waiver wire heading into Week 9.

Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter took over RB1 duties in the backfield in Week 5 in the first game without Trey Benson (knee), but since then, it's been Bam Knight leading the way. For a second straight contest in the Week 7 loss to the visiting Green Bay Packers on Sunday, Knight was the Cardinals' clear backfield leader, handling 14 carries for 57 yards while also catching three of his four targets for seven yards. Carter, meanwhile, had seven carries for only 11 yards and caught caught both of his targets for 25 yards through the air. The 24-year-old Knight now has 25 rushing attempts for 91 yards and a touchdown while adding four catches (six targets) for 27 yards as a pass-catcher the last two weeks as the team's preferred choice out of the backield. Arizona has a bye in Week 8, but Knight should be the Cardinals' RB1 for at least another game in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys with Benson on Injured Reserve.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight was dealing with a knee injury earlier in the week, but was a full participant in Thursday and Friday's practice, so he's good to go. In their Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, Knight saw a 51% snap share and finished as a high-end RB2 in half-PPR leagues. With Emari Demercado (ankle) ruled out for the Week 7 game against the Green Bay Packers, Knight is set to share the backfield with Michael Carter again. While he is a worthwhile waiver add if available, his fantasy output will likely be very volatile. The Cardinals seem to be going with the hot hand approach between the two backs, which gives Knight a low-end flex value in deeper leagues.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (knee) was upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday after he was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Knight was surprisingly Arizona's backfield leader in the Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, but he came out of that game a little banged up. However, his return to a full practice on Thursday puts him on track to play this Sunday versus the visiting Green Bay Packers. Knight played 37 offensive snaps on Sunday and had 12 touches for 54 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, Michael Carter played 32 snaps, had 11 touches, and totaled 64 scrimmage yards. The 24-year-old Knight is worth a waiver-wire pickup if he's still available in your league, but the Cardinals could go with the hot hand moving forward with Trey Benson (knee) on Injured Reserve. At best, Knight is setting up as a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex this week against Green Bay.

Coming off 54 total yards and a touchdown last week, Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (knee) looks to be a continued part of the team's backfield in the absence of its top two running backs. James Conner (ankle) is out for the year and Trey Benson (knee) isn't eligible to return until Week 10, giving Knight some low-end roster appeal while splitting carries with Michael Carter. Both backs drew exactly 11 carries last week against Indianapolis, a split workload that seems likely as long as Benson is unavailable. Knight was limited in Wednesday's practice, however, which managers will want to monitor as game day gets closer.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (knee) was limited in Wednesday's walk-through, according to the team. Knight handled 11 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown last week against Indianapolis and apparently banged up his knee at some point. He essentially split touches with Michael Carter, who had 13 touches. It looks like both Carter and Knight will handle the bulk of the running back touches moving forward, which creates a messy situation for fantasy. They also have a tough Week 7 matchup against a stingy Green Bay defense. Knight will likely rank in the low-end RB3 territory for Sunday.

Late Sunday morning, it was announced that Arizona Cardinals' running back Bam Knight was bumped up to the top of the Cardinals' depth chart at running back, and he responded with 34 yards on 11 carries and scored a one-yard touchdown in the Cardinals' 31-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Knight also contributed through the air, hauling in one of his two targets for a 20-yard reception. Meanwhile, Michael Carter had a very similar line, rushing for 34 yards on 11 carries and had two receptions for 30 yards. Emari Demercado was barely involved, seeing only one carry on the afternoon. All of this to say, it appears that the Cardinals have no interest in giving Carter the full reins of this backfield, and moving forward, both Knight and Carter will provide RB3 value, and fantasy managers should expect them both to see 10-15 touches per game. The Cardinals have a tough matchup coming up against the Green Bay Packers before their Week 8 bye. Fantasy managers beware, Trey Benson (knee) is eligible to return in Week 10 and will likely become the lead back once he returns.

Dynasty | Cardinals running back Zonovan "Bam" Knight had 34 rushing yards, one catch, 20 receiving yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Colts. Dynasty Analysis: The news of Knight starting over Michael Carter send dynasty managers scrambling this morning. In the end, it didn't really amount to much as Knight and Carter pretty much split work on the day. The touchdown helped save his day but this looks like a frustrating committee starting to form with the loss of Trey Benson. Knight is worth a roster spot but you'd have to be pretty desperate to start him moving forward.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight will take over as the team's lead back in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Michael Carter will be relegated to the backup role while Emari Demercado handles the bulk of the third-down snaps. This represents a personnel change after Carter led the backfield with 18 touches last Sunday. Carter scored a touchdown in that game, but he was inefficient with just 2.8 yards per carry, which could be why Arizona is switching to Knight for Week 6. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly. Knight is suddenly a solid RB3/flex option against the Colts, while Carter and Demercado should be benched in most leagues. All three have relatively low floors given the state of the Cardinals' offense, which will be led by Jacoby Brissett and not Kyler Murray (foot) in Week 6.
