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.

Ollie Gordon II News
Wednesday, September 2, 9:17 AM
Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II (ribs) suffered a minor rib injury during the team's second preseason game, and he is practicing in a red non-contact jersey on Wednesday. The 2025 sixth-round pick ran for 199 yards on 70 carries while appearing in all 17 games as a rookie, and he could see a larger role in year two with the Dolphins in need of playmakers outside of starting running back De'Von Achane. Along with Achane and third-year player Jaylen Wright, Gordon was one of three running backs to make the initial 53-man roster, excluding undrafted rookie fullback DJ Herman. Once viewed as one of the most promising backs in the nation after a Doak Walker Award-winning season in 2023, Gordon has failed to live up to expectations and is unlikely to factor into the fantasy landscape in 2026 as RotoBaller's RB87.
