Bam Knight News

Bam Knight ruled out for Week 9

Friday, November 6, 8:13 AM

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (concussion) has been ruled out for the team's Week 9 divisional matchup with the Seahawks, according to ESPN's Josh Weinfuss. With teammate Jeremiyah Love (ankle) sidelined with a high-ankle sprain, Knight came into Week 8 as a popular sleeper play, but was knocked out of the team's upset victory over the Cowboys with a second-quarter concussion, opening the door for Tyler Allgeier to rack up a season-high 191 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. With Love since landing on Injured Reserve and Knight now ruled out for Sunday, Allgeier becomes a usable RB2, though fantasy managers should temper expectations against a Seattle defense that ranks in the top 10 against fantasy running backs.

Phil Mafah Tries Out for Packers Amid Backfield Uncertainty

Tuesday, September 8, 4:47 PM

Free agent running back Phil Mafah tried out for the Green Bay Packers on Tuesday, per Tommy Yarrish of DallasCowboys.com. A seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, Mafah played in just one game as a rookie and was waived by the Cowboys in late August. While it's not yet clear if he will find his next NFL home in Green Bay, the Packers enter 2026 with significant questions in their backfield. Star Packers back Josh Jacobs is currently on the NFL's Commissioner's Exempt List due to an offseason arrest, and it's unclear when or if he will be cleared to play. As a result, the team's running back room currently consists of the unproven trio of MarShawn Lloyd, Chris Brooks, and Kaleb Johnson. The team is reportedly planning to take a committee approach to the backfield early in the year, and the fact that the Packers hosted Mafah on Tuesday could indicate that they do not have great confidence in any of their current options.
