Who Should I Start? Patrick Ricard or Bam Knight

Friday, August 22, 2:17 PM

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that fullback Patrick Ricard (soft tissue) is dealing with a "soft tissue thing" but should be able to return to practice before Week 1. Ricard has played in all 17 games for Baltimore in each of the last three regular seasons. While he's not a fantasy-relevant player himself, Ricard is a five-time Pro Bowler who plays an important role as a blocker in Baltimore's jumbo packages. If Ricard were to miss any time, it could negatively impact the rushing efficiency for Ravens running back Derrick Henry and quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. This doesn't come as a shock after Knight was forced to exit during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks due to an ankle issue. He'll open the week as a limited participant, but the Cardinals likely want to be cautious to begin the week. Lately, Knight has been splitting up the reps with Emari Demercado in the backfield. Demercado and Michael Carter would take over the backfield duties if Knight misses the Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Thursday for another update on Knight.
