Handcuff with meaningful snap share and receiving volume while Jeremiah Love sidelined; in week 7 vs Denver, played over 50% of snaps, took 7 carries, 5 targets (3 receptions), and 1 goal-line carry. Value drops to zero upon Love's return; expected to return to practice Wednesday per Mike LaFleur. Recommend cheap waiver bid ($1–2) given uncertainty on Love's return status and good matchup vs Dallas Cowboys defense.

Knight was a bright spot for a second straight week, averaging 6.9 yards on seven carries after averaging 5.3 yards on 15 carries in Week 6. He also caught three passes after tallying two receptions the previous game. It's worth wondering if Knight is the Cardinals' best rushing option given that he is averaging 6.4 yards per carry compared to Jeremiyah Love's 3.7 yards per carry.

With Jeremiyah Love out for a second straight week, Knight and Tyler Allgeier split the Cardinals' backfield work; Knight outgained Allgeier 63-49 despite one fewer touch, marking the second consecutive week he produced more with less, suggesting he might get more run as the Cardinals limit Love's touches.

Bam Knight has been the more effective Cardinals runner with Jeremiyah Love sidelined, piling up 161 scrimmage yards on 27 touches over the last two weeks at a far better clip than his committee-mates. However, the source is not sure how much longer he'll keep value as Love could return as early as this week. FAAB: 5-10%.

Bam Knight played more snaps than Tyler Algier this week. Cardinals coach Mike Lefor views Knight as the primary ball carrier while Algier is the pass catcher. Knight has been the Cardinals' most explosive running back so far this season, though he could lose work when Jeremiah Love returns (no exact timetable yet). In Week 8, Knight faces the Cowboys if Love misses.

Has impressed in Love's absence and earned carries; multiple comments praise his performance ('looks good'). However, his emergence creates three-headed backfield risk. Community split: some see him as legitimate threat to Love's workload; others argue Love's draft capital and pay should override. One comment notes he 'definitely getting his share of carries' but worry is justified about timeshare.

Waiver wire add with strong recent performance and favorable matchup; outperformed Tyler Algier by clear margin with 5.9–6 yards per carry over last two games; scored 11.8 points against Rams and 9.3 against Denver.

With Jeremiah Love out again, Knight led the Arizona backfield in snap share (53%), routes (25), and opportunities (12), turning that workload into 68 yards. If Love is out again in Week 8, Knight will be on the RB2 radar against the always-generous Cowboys defense.

Bam Knight is a 'Feel it' pick as a plus backup running back who understands how to hit creases and is a terrific receiver out of the backfield—more versatile than Tyler Algier with better pass-catching ability. Bob Harris ranked him ahead of Algier this week based on coaching staff comments and recommended him as a start if Jeremiah Love is out for another week or two. Knight is positioned as a career plus backup rather than a full-time starter, but offers immediate value in the current backfield situation.

Over the last two weeks, Knight has been the more productive back in Arizona, racking up 161 scrimmage yards on 27 touches compared to Tyler Allgeier's 97 yards on 30 touches.

Knight's value will evaporate the moment Jeremiah Love returns to the lineup.

Over the last two weeks, Knight has been the more productive back in Arizona, racking up 161 scrimmage yards on 27 touches compared to Tyler Allgeier's 97 yards on 30 touches.

Knight has been the standout back in the Cardinals' backfield with 128 yards on 22 carries (5.8 YPC) over the past two games while Love was out. He has been more productive than Tyler Allgeier and could maintain a significant role in a three-back rotation once Love returns, making him a more trustworthy fantasy option than Love in the near term.

Knight has been splitting snaps and touches nearly evenly with Tyler Allgeier while Jeremiyah Love has been out with an ankle injury. Knight has been the more effective runner than Allgeier over the last two weeks, posting 15-80-0 rushing and 2-18-0 receiving in Week 6, then 7-48-0 rushing and 3-15-0 receiving in Week 7. A near-50/50 touch share could translate to flex value in Week 8 against Dallas (25th in rushing DVOA, 23rd in expected points added per rush), but Love's potential return would eliminate Knight's fantasy value.
