Pierre Strong Jr. News
Saturday, December 13, 2:27 PM
The Green Bay Packers have elevated running back Pierre Strong Jr. from their practice squad to the active roster ahead of the team's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. With top Green Bay running backs Josh Jacobs (knee) and Emanuel Wilson (illness) both questionable for Sunday, the Packers could be forced to turn to Strong Jr. and Chris Brooks in the backfield. The 27-year-old Strong Jr. has yet to appear in a game so far in 2025. Across 14 games with the Cleveland Browns in 2024, he recorded 212 scrimmage yards on 40 touches. Brooks has just 66 total carries across 37 career NFL games, so it's unclear who Green Bay would turn to as the lead back if both Jacobs and Wilson are out. Fantasy managers may want to stash Strong Jr. off the waiver wire just in case he finds himself in a prominent role come game time on Sunday.

Bam Knight News
Wednesday, March 11, 7:17 AM
The Arizona Cardinals agreed to re-sign running back Bam Knight to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, according to his agent, Mike McCartney. Knight became a much bigger part of Arizona's backfield last year than anyone would have expected after season-ending injuries to both James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee). The 24-year-old finished the year with 82 carries for 269 yards and a career-high four touchdowns, adding 22 receptions for 160 yards and another score through the air in 12 games (eight starts). Conner and Benson are still under contract with the Cardinals for the 2026 season, and they also signed former Atlanta Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier earlier this week. At best, Knight will be the RB3 or RB4 in Arizona going into next season, so he's unlikely to have nearly as many opportunities for touches unless injuries strike again.
