Who Should I Start? Bam Knight or Lan Larison

Saturday, November 1, 7:57 PM

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight was named the starter for their Week 9 contest against the Dallas Cowboys, which gives him a juicy matchup to work with. The third-year pro has been upping his yards per carry in each appearance this season and finished Week 7 with his best game yet before the bye. Fortunately for Knight and fantasy managers with him on their roster, he takes on a defense that's ranked 31st against opposing backfields this season. The Cowboys are allowing 28.36 fantasy points per game to the position, and Emari Demercado doesn't seem like much of a threat to take away too many carries. Knight is projected as a low-end RB2 in this matchup, which makes him startable in most leagues.

New England Patriots running back Lan Larison rushed seven times for 35 yards and a touchdown during Friday's preseason opener against the Washington Commanders. He also caught each of his two targets for a total of nine yards through the air. Larison, a 23-year-old UC Davis product, signed with the team as an undrafted free agent back in May. As a result, he faces an uphill battle to make the roster. Nevertheless, he certainly made a positive impact and got himself noticed with Friday's productive showing. As the summer carries on, Larison will likely continue to compete with Terrell Jennings and JaMycal Hasty for the No. 4 running back role.
