49ers Sign Khalil Herbert

Sunday, August 2, 5:20 PM

With injuries mounting in the San Francisco 49ers' backfield, the team has signed veteran Khalil Herbert to a one-year, $1.2 million contract, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Herbert worked out with the team last week alongside two other backs and was subsequently signed. Second-year running back Jordan James suffered a rib fracture and is expected to be sidelined for two to three weeks. Herbert is likely to serve as a camp body at running back, but he hopes to compete with rookie Kaelon Black and James for the RB2 spot behind star Christian McCaffrey once James returns from injury. McCaffrey appears likely to handle a heavy workload again, though the head coach, Kyle Shanahan, has said they are looking to manage his volume in 2026.

Bam Knight's Dynasty Value Has Run Dry in Crowded Running Back Room

Wednesday, May 27, 5:24 AM

Arizona running back Bam Knight took advantage of a depleted Cardinals depth chart in 2025, finishing as the fantasy RB24 or better in five different weeks while leading the team with four rushing touchdowns. Knight signed a one-year deal to return to Arizona this offseason, but with an entirely revamped running back room in the desert, any meaningful contributions in 2026 will likely be made on special teams. James Conner and Trey Benson played in a combined seven games in 2025, and while both are expected to be healthy heading into the season, they themselves will be battling for the third and fourth spots on the Cardinals' newly stacked depth chart after the team signed Tyler Allgeier in free agency and spent the third pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on future bell cow Jeremiyah Love. With no realistic path to playing time, Knight has fallen to RB93 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings and is no longer a player worth rostering.
