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.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight saved his best game for last in the preseason victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday. The 24-year-old led all rushers in yards and touchdowns after he registered 83 yards on five carries and a big 67-yard touchdown run. Knight was able to find a hole right up the middle and break away from the Raiders' defense at the end of the third quarter. There hasn't been any official word on the depth chart yet, but Knight could have put plenty of pressure on Emari Demercado and DeeJay Dallas for the final RB spot.

The New York Jets are signing Zonovan Knight to the practice squad, according to NFL Insider Tom Pelissero. "Bam" Knight was signed by New York as an undrafted free agent out of the 2022 NFL Draft class and rushed 85 times for 300 yards and a touchdown as a rookie with the organization. He spent last season with the Detroit Lions but has not been with a team in 2024. With Breece Hall and Braelon Allen healthy heading into Week 13, this is probably a mere depth signing and can be ignored for fantasy football purposes.
