Scores only rushing TD for ARZ
RBArizona Cardinals
November 16, 2025
Knight (ankle) rushed five times for 24 yards and a touchdown while adding four receptions for 21 yards in Sunday's 41-22 loss to the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Knight was a limited participant in practice all week with a bum ankle, but he was able to suit up Sunday and finish as the Cardinals' leading rusher. The 24-year-old outproduced Emari Demercado (5-8-0), who sustained an ankle injury during the contest, which is the inverse of how the backfield mates had performed in recent weeks. Michael Carter remained involved with 28 combined yards on seven touches, making this a truly frustrating committee to predict on a weekly basis. The fact that Knight started and scored Arizona's only rushing score of the contest makes him the preferred fantasy option by default heading into next Sunday's tilt against Jacksonville.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Knight spent most of 2022 on the Jets' practice squad until injuries paved the way for the undrafted rookie out of North Carolina State to debut in Week 12. The man known as "Bam" came in with a bang, topping 100 scrimmage yards in each of his first two NFL appearances before adding 77 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in his third game. Knight ran out of gas after that, mustering just 70 rushing yards on 39 carries over his final four games. New York hopes to have starter Breece Hall back from ACL surgery by Week 1, signed Dalvin Cook in August and drafted running back Israel Abanikanda in the fifth round to go with 2021 fourth-round pick Michael Carter, so Knight could be relegated back to the practice squad unless the Jets opt to roster five running backs.
Knight signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent after topping 900 scrimmage yards in 12 games last year at NC State, and the 21-year-old running back will try to secure a depth spot in New York's backfield. He also had two kickoff return touchdowns in 2021, so Knight's best chance of making the roster is as a return specialist.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In line for lead role
RBArizona Cardinals
October 12, 2025
Knight is expected to serve as Arizona's lead back against the Colts in Week 6, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
Arizona could lean on the ground game in the absence of Kyler Murray, who is sidelined by a foot injury. Knight's physical running style makes him a better fit for a heavy workload than fellow former Jet Michael Carter, who led Arizona's backfield in the Week 5 loss to Tennessee. Carter's expected to play more of a change-of-pace role behind Knight against the Colts, with Emari Demercado possibly factoring into the backfield mix as well.
