Bam Knight News
Wednesday, May 27, 5:24 AM
Arizona running back Bam Knight took advantage of a depleted Cardinals depth chart in 2025, finishing as the fantasy RB24 or better in five different weeks while leading the team with four rushing touchdowns. Knight signed a one-year deal to return to Arizona this offseason, but with an entirely revamped running back room in the desert, any meaningful contributions in 2026 will likely be made on special teams. James Conner and Trey Benson played in a combined seven games in 2025, and while both are expected to be healthy heading into the season, they themselves will be battling for the third and fourth spots on the Cardinals' newly stacked depth chart after the team signed Tyler Allgeier in free agency and spent the third pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on future bell cow Jeremiyah Love. With no realistic path to playing time, Knight has fallen to RB93 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings and is no longer a player worth rostering.

Audric Estimé News
Saturday, August 29, 6:25 AM
New Orleans Saints running back Audric Estime is battling with Kendre Miller for a depth spot behind Travis Etienne Jr., a role made all the more important by the questions surrounding Alvin Kamara's (knee) early-season availability after the 10th-year veteran suffered an MCL injury early in training camp. In Friday night's preseason matchup with the Cowboys, both backs saw action, and it was Estime who led the team with 46 rushing yards on only four carries, setting up a first-half touchdown by bouncing off contact for an impressive 33-yard run to the Cowboys' 8-yard-line. He added 22 yards on three catches, and has now racked up 90 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown across his two pre-season appearances. After putting up nearly identical rushing stat lines a season ago, neither Estime nor Miller has truly separated, and should Kamara miss extended time, they could split carries behind Etienne. While neither is a particularly palatable fantasy option, Estime's involvement in the passing game at least has the potential to provide a usable floor in a worst-case scenario.
