Who Should I Start? Craig Reynolds or Bam Knight

Thursday, July 31, 11:24 PM

Detroit Lions running back Craig Reynolds led his team in rushing yards during the team's 34-7 preseason loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night. Reynolds finished with 10 carries for 38 yards and one touchdown as a rusher, adding one catch for 10 yards as a receiver. The 29-year-old running back is entering his seventh NFL season and has been with Detroit since 2021. In 34 games for the Lions since the start of 2023, Reynolds has logged 72 carries for 318 yards and one touchdown. He appears to be fairly locked into the RB3 role in Detroit behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Reynolds would need an injury to one of those two backs to be relevant in fantasy, and even then, he would likely be a fringe flex option at best.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight is coming off his best performance of his 2025 campaign. Knight produced season highs in rushing yards (62) and receiving yards (36) on 14 touches in Week 13's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 24-year-old will once again lead the Cardinals' backfield with Trey Benson (knee) and Emari Demercado (ankle) being ruled out for Sunday. Entering Week 14, Knight is RotoBaller's 28th-ranked running back in Half-PPR leagues in a difficult matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams' rushing defense has allowed the fewest running touchdowns this season. Knight has lived on his touchdown production this year and has yet to produce over eight fantasy points in a game without scoring a touchdown in Half-PPR formats. Knight will be a risky flex option for managers entering the final week of most fantasy football regular seasons.
