Who Should I Start? Bam Knight or Kimani Vidal

Thursday, November 13, 1:51 PM

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.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal handled another big workload as the team's lead back in Sunday night's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, totaling 25 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown to go with one reception (one target) for 13 yards. Vidal has alternated breakout performances with duds over the last few weeks, but the heavy usage has remained consistent while he fills in for an injured Omarion Hampton (ankle). Fantasy managers will largely be happy with Vidal's production as an add off the waiver wire, scoring at least 17 PPR points in three of his five games as the Chargers' workhorse. The second-year back should get at least one more game as the team's top running back before Hampton is expected to return after their Week 12 bye. Vidal will rank as a mid-range RB2 in Week 11 versus the Jaguars.
