Cardinals' Zonovan Knight: Week 10 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Knight (concussion) didn't play in Week 9 at Seattle, and we'll see if he can return in Week 10 against the Rams. Tyler Allgeier flopped against the Seahawks with Knight and Jeremiyah Love (ankle) out with 17 carries for 46 yards and two catches for no yards on three targets. Knight averaged 10.6 PPR points in the previous two games that Love was out, compared to 6.9 PPR points for Allgeier. This will be a tough offense to trust with Carson Beck now at quarterback, along with Michael Wilson (neck) out, and Knight and Allgeier will continue to split touches. But Knight can be a flex option in all leagues when healthy, and he's worth adding for 5 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Ruled out for Sunday's game
Rotowire
Knight (concussion) is out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
After being concussed early in last Sunday's game against Dallas, Knight will miss at least one contest, as he remains in the league's protocol. With Jeremiyah Love (ankle) also sidelined, Tyler Allgeier projects to handle most of the backfield work, though it's a really tough road draw against a strong run defense.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Another DNP on Thursday
Rotowire
Knight (concussion) officially didn't practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Since exiting Week 8 action with a concussion, Knight hasn't been able to log any practice reps, which generally isn't a good sign that he'll be available Sunday at Seattle. Arizona may make a ruling on Knight's status once it posts Friday's injury report, and if he's indeed sidelined for that contest, Tyler Allgeier stands to serve as the team's workhorse running back this weekend, with Evan Hull likely backing him up.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Absent from Thursday practice
Rotowire
Knight (concussion) wasn't present for Thursday's practice, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Assuming Knight goes down as a non-participant Thursday, his lack of activity so far this week doesn't give him a good chance to gain clearance from the concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game at Seattle. With Jeremiyah Love (ankle) hitting IR on Tuesday, Tyler Allgeier is poised to lead the Cardinals backfield until Knight is back in action, at which point there's expected to be more of a even split between the two.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Absent from practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Knight (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Knight is in concussion protocol after playing just 18 offensive snaps in last Sunday's overtime win over the Cowboys. With Jeremiyah Love (ankle) headed to injured reserve and out for at least the next four weeks, Knight figures to have a key backfield role alongside Tyler Allgeier, but it might be a challenge for Knight to gain clearance for Sunday's game against Seattle.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Could see increased workload soon
Rotowire
Coach Mike LaFleur said Wednesday that the Cardinals planned on Knight (concussion) being one of their top two backs before he and Jeremiyah Love (ankle) suffered injuries in Week 8 against the Cowboys, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Love will have to spend at least the next four games on IR, and Knight's availability for Week 9 is in doubt with him being in concussion protocol, but his coach's words signal a prominent role in Arizona's backfield may be waiting for him whenever he's ready to play again. Until then, free-agent acquisition Tyler Allgeier figures to be the primary beneficiary of Love's extended absence, but Knight should also eventually see an increased workload, especially in the passing game. Recent signee Evan Hull is also in the mix, but he has not played an offensive snap yet in 2026.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Enters concussion protocol
Rotowire
Head coach Mike LaFleur revealed Monday that Knight is in the concussion protocol following Sunday's overtime win in Dallas, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Knight took a shoulder to the helmet from a Cowboys defender in the third quarter of Sunday's game, and after a visit to the locker room, he was ruled out with a concussion. It marked the second Cardinals RB to exit and not return in Week 8 -- Jeremiyah Love suffered a "new" ankle injury, per LaFleur -- so at the moment Tyler Allgeier is the top healthiest member of the team's backfield.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Won't return to Sunday's contest
Rotowire
Knight (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
With Jeremiyah Love (ankle) also dealing with an injury, Tyler Allgeier will see added backfield opportunities against Dallas. Knight will now need to advance through the NFL's concussion protocol in order to be available for next Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Love cleared to return for Week 8
Rotowire
Jeremiyah Love (ankle) has been cleared to return from a two-game absence to face the Cowboys on Sunday, so Knight is expected to revert to rotational role in the Cardinals' backfield.
The rookie first-rounder was a full participant in Friday's practice, which was enough for him to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest. Love could operate on a snap count in his return, so Knight and Tyler Allgeier -- who have co-led the Cardinals' backfield for each of the last two games -- could both still see a fair amount of involvement in Arizona's offensive gameplan. Over his last two outings, Knight has turned 22 carries into 128 yards (5.8 YPC) and caught five passes on seven targets for 33 yards.

Cardinals' Zonovan Knight: Week 8 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Knight has been the best running back for the Cardinals with Jeremiyah Love (ankle) out for the past two games, and Knight would be a borderline starter in all leagues in Week 8 against Dallas if Love is out again. In his past two games against the Rams and Broncos, Knight has combined for 22 carries for 128 yards and five catches for 33 yards on seven targets, and he scored at least 9.3 PPR points in each outing. He continues to share touches with Tyler Allgeier, but Knight has been the more explosive player heading into a plus matchup against the Cowboys. Knight is worth adding in all leagues for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Earns 10 more touches with Love absent
Rotowire
Knight accrued seven carries for 48 yards and reeled in three of five targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 30-16 defeat to the Broncos.
With Jeremiyah Love (ankle) sidelined for a second consecutive contest, Tyler Allgeier and Knight again were tasked with manning the Cardinals backfield. Allgeier earned 11 touches to Knight's 10 on Sunday, but the latter out-gained him by 14 yards from scrimmage (63 vs. 49). It was the second week in a row in which Knight churned out more yardage than Allgeier on fewer touches, and even if Love is able to return in Week 8 at Dallas, Knight could begin to put himself in position for regular snaps moving forward, if he hasn't already.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Love out again for Week 7
Rotowire
Jeremiyah Love (ankle) will be sidelined for Sunday's game against the Broncos, so Knight and Tyler Allgeier will be used in tandem in Love's absence, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
It was an 18-15 split in carries between Allgeier and Knight during the Cardinals' Week 6 win over the Rams, but Knight was far more efficient with his touches, finishing with 80 yards compared to Allgeier's 38. Knight is averaging 6.2 yards per carry this season, and he and Allgeier are facing a Denver defense Sunday that ranks 31st in the league in rushing yards allowed per game (139.8).

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Outplays Allgeier in Love's absence
Rotowire
Knight rushed 15 times for 80 yards and caught both of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Rams.
Knight got an extended opportunity in the absence of Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and was far more efficient than Tyler Allgeier, who mustered just 38 rushing yards on 18 rushing attempts. Love figures to reclaim the lead role in Arizona's backfield upon his return, which could come as soon as Week 7 against the Broncos, but Knight could get a sizable workload should Love remain sidelined. Prior to Sunday's win, Knight had just three carries and no targets all season.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Uneventful performance in win
Rotowire
Knight played three offensive snaps and three special-teams snaps in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.
Despite a solid preseason, Knight did not see much action in Sunday's regular-season opener. The running back was simply an emergency option behind first-round rookie Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier. Knight will likely remain in a similar role during a Week 2 home matchup against the Seahawks.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Impressive to open preseason
Rotowire
Knight rushed 12 times for 60 yards in the Cardinals' 33-30 preseason loss to the Panthers on Thursday. He also fumbled once but recovered.
The journeyman back is looking to run it back with the Cardinals after making a positive impression during an injury-riddled 2025 for the Arizona backfield. Knight started Thursday's game and saw action into the first drive of the second half, fumbling at the end of his longest run of the night -- 15 yards -- late in the second quarter but falling back on the ball. Knight finished as the team leader in rushing yards, but he figures to have an uphill battle to stick on the final roster in a very crowded running back room headlined by rookie first-round pick Jeremiyah Love along with Tyler Allgeier, James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Won't return Sunday
Rotowire
Knight (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Texans.
Knight logged just one carry for minus-2 yards before exiting and being carted to he locker room in the first quarter. The 24-year-old has been serving as the Cardinals' top running back due to James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) both being out for the season. Over the last eight games prior to Week 15, Knight recorded 77 rushes for 260 yards and three touchdowns to go along with 21 catches (on 30 targets). His next opportunity to take the field will come Week 16 versus the Falcons on Sunday, Dec. 21. In Knight's absence, Emari Demercado and Michael Carter will carry the load at running back.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Suffers ankle injury
Rotowire
Knight exited Sunday's game at Houston due to an ankle injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Knight had his left ankle pinned under a Texans defender as he was tackled to the turf early in the first quarter. Per Urban, Knight was carted to the locker room and soon after was deemed questionable to return. Michael Carter and Emari Demercado are left as the likeliest candidates to carry Arizona's backfield for as long as Knight is sidelined.

Cardinals' Zonovan Knight: RBs to Sit
Rotowire
We found out Wednesday that Trey Benson (knee) won't return this season, so Knight will likely be the primary running back for the Cardinals for the rest of the year. That gives him flex appeal most weeks, but I'm concerned about his Fantasy outlook in Week 15 at Houston. The Texans are No. 8 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and the Cardinals are without left tackle Paris Johnson (knee). Knight struggled in Week 14 against the Rams with seven carries for 16 yards and three catches for 18 yards on six targets, and he should have another disappointing outing in Week 15.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Abysmal showing Sunday
Rotowire
Knight was held to 16 yards on seven carries while catching three of six targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Rams.
Knight failed to take advantage of lead-back duties even with both Trey Benson (knee) and Emari Demercado (ankle) still missing Sunday. The 24-year-old Knight struggled to generate much running room early on, then fell victim to the blowout game script in the second half. The journeyman backup failed to mask his poor production with a trip to the end zone like we saw in Weeks 11 and 12. With the aforementioned teammates potentially nearing returns, Knight's brief run of fantasy utility could come to a close in short order, assuming it hasn't run dry already.

Cardinals' Zonovan Knight: Sleeper RBs
Rotowire
Knight doesn't have an easy matchup in Week 14 against the Rams, who are No. 4 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, but I still like Knight as a flex option in all leagues if Trey Benson (knee) and Emari Demercado (ankle) remain out. Knight has scored at least 13.2 PPR points in three games in a row, and he has at least 9.4 PPR points in six of eight outings since Benson was injured. In his past three games, Knight has 11 catches for 77 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets, and he has at least three targets in each outing. The Rams have also allowed four running backs to score at least 11. PPR points in their past four games.
