Who Should I Start? Deuce Vaughn or Bam Knight

Tuesday, September 9, 6:50 PM

The Denver Broncos are signing free-agent running back Deuce Vaughn to their practice squad on Tuesday, sources tell Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. Vaughn, a former All-American at Kansas State and a sixth-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys in 2023, will give Denver additional backfield depth behind J.K. Dobbins, rookie RJ Harvey, Tyler Badie, and Jaleel McLaughlin. The 5-foot-6, 176-pounder will be a long shot to make any noise in Denver this year or ever in the NFL, given his small stature. In his two seasons with the Cowboys over the last two years, he handled only 40 carries for 110 yards (2.8 yards per tote) with no touchdowns. Vaughn caught 10 of his 12 targets for 58 yards in the passing game. Dallas cut Vaughn from their roster at the end of training camp in late August.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Knight dealt with an ankle issue ahead of the two previous contests, but was active in both. Now, it appears he's over the injury, but picked up a knee problem during Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Knight didn't have much success in the backfield over the weekend as he rushed for 12 yards on 10 carries, but salvaged his fantasy value with a touchdown. His fantasy value could be on the downward trend with Trey Benson (knee) preparing to return to the field. Fantasy managers will need to monitor the health of this backfield throughout the week ahead of their Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
