Who Should I Start? Bam Knight or Raheim Sanders

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.

The Cleveland Browns have claimed running back Raheim Sanders off waivers from the Los Angeles Chargers. The 23-year-old went undrafted out of South Carolina earlier this offseason. He was productive during the preseason, totaling 28 carries for 101 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. Although he looked solid this summer, it wasn't enough for him to earn a roster spot over Najee Harris, Omarion Hampton, or Hassan Haskins. He has a much more reasonable path to playing time with the Browns, who remain in a contract stalemate with rookie running back Quinshon Judkins. Sanders immediately slots in third on the Browns' depth chart behind Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson. He should be avoided in most redraft leagues, but he might be worth stashing in the deepest dynasty leagues given that he could see some opportunities out of the backfield this year.
