Who Should I Start? Bam Knight or Zavier Scott

Sunday, August 24, 8:09 AM

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight saved his best game for last in the preseason victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday. The 24-year-old led all rushers in yards and touchdowns after he registered 83 yards on five carries and a big 67-yard touchdown run. Knight was able to find a hole right up the middle and break away from the Raiders' defense at the end of the third quarter. There hasn't been any official word on the depth chart yet, but Knight could have put plenty of pressure on Emari Demercado and DeeJay Dallas for the final RB spot.

Following his best game in the NFL, Minnesota Vikings running back Zavier Scott is a risky RB4/Flex option heading into a matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The former Maine standout is a converted wide receiver who caught six passes and a touchdown last week, showing his fantasy appeal and making him a hot waiver commodity. Minnesota, however, has its hands full in Week 5. Three of the Vikings' five starting offensive lineman are out due to injury, and they'll play a Browns defense that leads the NFL in rushing defense with 2.7 yards per carry. Already the clear second option to starter Jordan Mason, Scott's opportunity could be diminished if the patchwork Minnesota offensive line can't hold up against Cleveland.
