Bam Knight Returns to Full Participation on Thursday

Thursday, November 12, 3:25 PM

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (concussion) was upgraded to full practice participation on Thursday and should be good to go on Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Knight should be active in Week 10, and with rookie first-round RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) still sidelined, Knight could be the Cardinals' preferred backfield option in a tough matchup against the Rams, with rookie quarterback Carson Beck making his NFL debut. Knight's impending return to Arizona's backfield is bad news for Tyler Allgeier, who was outproduced by Knight after Love's ankle injury. The 25-year-old fourth-year back had a season-high 15 carries for 80 yards and also caught two passes for 18 yards in the first meeting against the Rams on Oct. 18. Still, Knight should not be considered much more than a low-upside, touchdown-dependent RB3/flex, at best, if he returns this weekend. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 40 RB for Week 10.

Noah Whittington News

Rookie Running Back Noah Whittington Has a Busy Start to the Preseason

Thursday, August 13, 7:21 PM

Houston Texans running back Noah Whittington finished his team's preseason loss to the Chargers with 13 carries for 40 yards and also caught his only target for a loss of four yards. The undrafted rookie from Oregon fits the profile of a potential rotational back due to his compact frame and powerful running style. His heavy workload could lead to him earning a spot on the team, and since Houston likes to rotate running backs, he could end up with fantasy value at some point this season. Woody Marks and Jawhar Jordan are back to carry the load alongside newcomer David Montgomery, though, so Whittington will need to show more explosiveness before he threatens for enough work to be fantasy relevant. It is worth noting, though, that he got plenty of chances to make an impact in Preseason Week 1 against the Chargers.
