Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (knee) is questionable for Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but is expected to play on Sunday. With Trey Benson (knee) ruled out for his eighth consecutive game, and Emari Demercado (ankle) sidelined again, Knight is in to draw the start and split touches with Michael Carter. Carter has outsnapped Knight in the past two weeks with the same situation, but Knight holds the touch advantage with 23 compared to Carter's 15 in the past two games. The 24-year-old hasn't been efficient as a runner, recording 15 carries for 36 yards to go with eight receptions for 41 yards on nine targets, but has found the end zone in both games to return some fantasy value. Knight should lead Arizona in touches again on Sunday against a Bucs defense that has allowed the 11-most PPR points per game to opposing running backs. He ranks as RotoBaller's RB36 in PPR leagues for Week 13.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (knee) is listed as questionable for the Week 13 game on Sunday against the hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com. The Cardinals' backfield could be dangerously thin if Knight isn't able to play this weekend. Trey Benson (knee) will not come off the Injured Reserve, and Emari Demercado (ankle) has been ruled out for another game, too. If the 24-year-old Knight doesn't get cleared by Sunday, Michael Carter would jump into the RB1 role for the Cardinals, with Jermar Jefferson likely backing him up. Knight has been serving as the team's No. 1 back with Benson out. He was limited in practice all week, suggesting that he's on the right side of questionable. He's averaging a paltry 3.1 yards per carry in nine games (five starts) this year. If active, he'll be a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex for fantasy managers.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice with a knee injury. The Cardinals' backfield remains banged up as Trey Benson (knee) and Emari Demercado (ankle) did not practice on Thursday, leaving Michael Carter as the team's only healthy back. Knight has now logged back-to-back limited sessions and will need to be a full participant on Friday to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Knight has caught four passes and found the end zone in back-to-back weeks. The 24-year-old will look to score for a third straight game and can be used as a FLEX option if Benson and Demercado are ruled out again in Week 13.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Knight dealt with an ankle issue ahead of the two previous contests, but was active in both. Now, it appears he's over the injury, but picked up a knee problem during Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Knight didn't have much success in the backfield over the weekend as he rushed for 12 yards on 10 carries, but salvaged his fantasy value with a touchdown. His fantasy value could be on the downward trend with Trey Benson (knee) preparing to return to the field. Fantasy managers will need to monitor the health of this backfield throughout the week ahead of their Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight has enjoyed an extended run as the team's lead back with Trey Benson (knee) on injured reserve and Emari Demercado (ankle) also missing time. Knight's fantasy appeal could come to an end with Benson's practice window opened last week, and him being listed as a limited participant every day in practice last week. Benson could be on track to return in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but could be eased back into action after missing seven consecutive games. Knight could be in a timeshare with the second-year back in the short term before Benson is ready to take on a bigger workload. If Benson isn't ready to return just yet, Knight will rank as a touchdown-dependent RB3 for Week 13 against the Bucs.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight had 10 carries for 12 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12. He added four catches on five targets for 20 yards through the air. Knight was able to tough out an ankle injury that had limited him in practice leading up to Sunday's performance. The 24-year-old had to find the end zone to save his Week 12 fantasy performance, and he has now scored a touchdown in back-to-back weeks to stay fantasy viable. In a high-volume passing offense, Knight has become a touchdown-dependent running back in all fantasy formats. Since Week 9, over a third of Knight's fantasy points have come from his touchdown production. Heading into Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Knight's short-term fantasy appeal could run out if Trey Benson (knee) returns from Injured Reserve.

Arizona's RB Zonovan Knight averaged a brutal 1.2 yards per carry on 10 attempts in Sunday's game against the Jaguars. He did score one touchdown in the loss.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice and will play in their Week 12 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Knight had been battling an ankle injury all week, but will lead the Cardinals' backfield with teammate Emari Demercado (ankle) being ruled out for Sunday with an ankle injury. Trey Benson (knee) was also ruled out, despite having his 21-day practice window opened earlier this week. Heading into Week 12, Knight is RotoBaller's 31st-ranked running back in PPR Leagues against a stout Jaguars run defense. The Jaguars have allowed the fewest rushing yards and the fourth fewest rushing touchdowns this season. Knight is a touchdown-dependent flex option in a tough matchup against the Jaguars.

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (ankle) was listed as a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned about the ankle issue right now. However, Knight could be losing playing time soon with Trey Benson (knee) having his practice window opened this week. The eventual return of Benson is going to cloud up this backfield situation even more. Right now, Emari Demercado (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 12. That means, Knight and Michael Carter should split up the reps unless Benson returns this week. Barring any setbacks, Knight figures to be out there this weekend, but his fantasy value is unclear at the moment.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight saw a scaled back role in the rushing game during Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Heading into this game, Knight had seen nine carries or more in each of his last four games. However, Knight carried the ball only five times for 24 yards and scored a touchdown in the loss. He also hauled in all four of his targets through the air for 21 additional yards. The fact the game was a blowout could've contributed to the lack of carries for Knight. He figures to have a bigger role during next week's matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fantasy managers should be able to plug in Knight as a low-end flex option

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (ankle) is officially active for his team's Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Knight entered Sunday with a questionable injury designation after being limited in practice by an ankle injury. With running back Trey Benson (knee) still out, Knight and Emari Demercado should be expected to handle the majority of Arizona's backfield work against San Francisco. Veteran back Michael Carter could be a factor as well. Knight profiles as a low-end flex option for fantasy managers in Week 11.

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Despite that, Knight is expected to play this weekend, according to Adam Schefter. Knight is stuck in a committee with Emari Demercado and Michael Carter. Last week, Knight saw 10 carries for 28 yards in the loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He hasn't been successful on the ground lately, so consider him a low-end flex option for Week 11.

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (ankle) is not a reliable fantasy option for Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. Knight flashed upside with 25 carries over two games earlier in the season, but his usage and productivity have taken a step backward with Emari Demercado re-joining the mix. Last week, Knight had 10 carries and four targets, but he finished the game with just 28 rushing yards, one reception, and five receiving yards. He posted 4.3 fantasy points (PPR) in the loss, which was his lowest mark of the season. Demercado showed more burst on the ground and had a similar snap share to Knight last week. There's no Arizona running back we feel very confident in, but if forced to choose one, Demercado would be the pick. In addition to struggling on the field lately, Knight also has the injury factor to consider; he's currently listed as questionable for Week 11 against the Niners, who have allowed the 13th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers in Week 11. Knight was once again the team's starting RB in last weekend's blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks, with Trey Benson (knee) still on Injured Reserve, but now his status is up in the air. The 24-year-old should be able to suit up, but his ankle injury could open the door for both Emari Demercado and Michael Carter to see more backfield touches. Knight had only 33 scrimmage yards on 11 touches before his ankle injury in Week 10, and he hasn't been very efficient since taking over in Arizona. Even when healthy, Knight's RB1 role hasn't been very secure, with Demercado seeing 14 carries in Week 9. If Knight is active, he'll be a pretty wishy-washy RB3/flex with limited upside for fantasy managers.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (ankle) was seen at practice for the second straight day on Thursday, according to Dani Sureck of AZCardinals.com. Knight was listed as a limited participant in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday after injuring his ankle in the Week 10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. The 24-year-old may need a full practice this week to avoid a questionable tag going into the weekend, but as of right now, two practices suggest he has a chance to be active this Sunday versus the San Francisco 49ers. Since the team's bye in Week 8, Knight and Emari Demercado have been splitting most of Arizona's backfield touches, with Demercado being the more productive back. Knight hasn't scored since Week 6 and has averaged just 3.4 yards per carry on 33 rushing attempts in his three "starts." If he's active against San Fran, fantasy managers should consider him a low-upside RB3/flex option.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. This doesn't come as a shock after Knight was forced to exit during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks due to an ankle issue. He'll open the week as a limited participant, but the Cardinals likely want to be cautious to begin the week. Lately, Knight has been splitting up the reps with Emari Demercado in the backfield. Demercado and Michael Carter would take over the backfield duties if Knight misses the Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Thursday for another update on Knight.

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon did not have an injury update on running back Bam Knight (ankle) on Wednesday, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Knight, who has become the Cardinals' primary option in the backfield in recent weeks with Trey Benson (knee) on Injured Reserve, picked up an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of the Week 10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The 24-year-old only had 28 rushing yards on 10 carries in the blowout loss before leaving, adding one catch for five yards. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Knight's practice status on Wednesday. Benson has yet to resume practicing, so he feels unlikely to make his return this Sunday against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. Fantasy managers in need of RB help may want to pick up Emari Demercado now in case Knight is unable to go this weekend.

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight is still listed as the team's RB1 on the depth chart ahead of their Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Knight has maintained a narrow edge in snaps over Emari Demercado over the past two weeks, playing 71 snaps to Demercado's 56. The 24-year-old Knight has ceded more work on passing downs, but has handled four of the seven carries inside the 10-yard line in the past two games. Trey Benson (knee) is expected to return soon and should retain his duties as the lead back, but his timeline is still uncertain as of now. Knight will remain in RB3 territory in Week 11 if Benson is out.

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (ankle) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. He is officially listed as questionable to return, but it seems unlikely he gets back into the game since Arizona trails by multiple scores in the waning minutes. If Knight's day is indeed done, he finishes Week 10 with 10 carries for 28 rushing yards. He also converted four targets into just one catch for an additional five receiving yards. It was a relatively inefficient outing for the 24-year-old and could cost him some opportunities heading into Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. Emari Demercado, who has more than 180 scrimmage yards over the last two games, could poach some of Knight's volume. Demercado remains the most intriguing Arizona running back in fantasy football, ranking as an RB3/flex. Knight falls into the RB4 tier.

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight has operated as the team's lead back over the past three games, recording 34 carries for 118 yards and a touchdown and adding six receptions (eight targets) for 47 yards. Knight has played 104 total snaps since Week 6, with the next closest Cardinals running back being Michael Carter at 57, but he didn't record a single snap in their Week 9 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The 25-year-old Knight was out-gained by Emari Demercado in that game, but saw a season high in snap share of 56.9% to Demercado's 40%. It looks like Arizona is trending toward becoming a split two-man backfield between Knight and Demercado, but nothing is set in stone. Head coach Jonathan Gannon has been tight-lipped about how they will distribute the running back touches week to week, but Knight should again be expected to lead Arizona's backfield on early downs in a tough Week 10 matchup against a Seahawks defense that is allowing a league-best 3.5 yards per carry.
