Who Should I Start? Michael Burton or Bam Knight

The Denver Broncos are re-signing fullback Michael Burton for the 2025 campaign, according to team reporter Zac Stevens. Burton was originally a fifth-round pick by the Detroit Lions in 2015 out of Rutgers and has spent time with the Lions, Bears, Saints, Redskins, Chiefs, and Broncos. He reunited with Sean Payton in Denver in 2023 and is back for his third season with the organization. The 33-year-old is primarily utilized as a pure blocker, but he has compiled 42 carries for 79 yards and two touchdowns in 147 career games. He's hauled in 31 receptions for 196 yards and two scores as a receiver. In 2025, he could be blocking for a highly-drafted rookie running back like North Carolina's Omarion Hampton or Ohio State's TreVeyon Henderson.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (knee) is listed as questionable for the Week 13 game on Sunday against the hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com. The Cardinals' backfield could be dangerously thin if Knight isn't able to play this weekend. Trey Benson (knee) will not come off the Injured Reserve, and Emari Demercado (ankle) has been ruled out for another game, too. If the 24-year-old Knight doesn't get cleared by Sunday, Michael Carter would jump into the RB1 role for the Cardinals, with Jermar Jefferson likely backing him up. Knight has been serving as the team's No. 1 back with Benson out. He was limited in practice all week, suggesting that he's on the right side of questionable. He's averaging a paltry 3.1 yards per carry in nine games (five starts) this year. If active, he'll be a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex for fantasy managers.
