Bam Knight's last two games scored 10-12 PPR points each, demonstrating the offensive functionality available to running backs in this system. However, Knight left significant production on the table, including a dropped touchdown catch opportunity against Denver that Jeremiah Love would have converted, suggesting the role has ceiling upside that Knight is not fully capitalizing on.

Knight is a viable low-end RB2 or flex option with sneaky PPR upside; he saw 10 total touches last week with three receptions. With Jeremiah Love questionable and Tyler Allgeier lacking production, Knight benefits from the Cardinals' backfield situation and faces Dallas, which allows the eighth-most (25.2) PPR points per game to running backs.

Knight has emerged as the clear lead back in Arizona during Jeremiah Love's absence, scoring 20.5 PPR points over two games compared to Tyler Allgeier's 13.7. Knight ranked third among all RBs in missed tackles forced rate (31.8 percent) and second in yards after contact per attempt (4.45 YCO/ATT) over that span, averaging 5.8 YPC.

Playing really well and has been more explosive and better than Tyler Algier; has taken over the passing-down back role and should continue in that role; despite industry perception that Algier is stepping back into the backup role, the source believes Bam Knight has played well enough to warrant continued consideration.

PositiveSleeperOct 29, 2026FantasyPros Articles

Bam Knight is a flex-worthy sleeper outside the top 100 rankings with upside against Dallas's mediocre run defense. With rookie Jeremiyah Love sidelined for two games, Knight has carried 22 times for 148 yards and added five catches for 33 yards; Love is back at practice but might not play or could have a partial workload. Knight has dramatically outperformed Tyler Allgeier the last two weeks and might still get 6-10 carries even if Love returns.

Knight could get on the field through merit despite Arizona's investment in Jeremiah Love and Tyler Allgeier; he's gained 161 total yards over 27 touches in the last two weeks. The Dallas defense has been a mess against the run and pass this year, so the door is open for Knight to contribute.

Knight has had RB12 and RB18 usage over the past two weeks, potentially serving as a short-term thorn in Jeremiyah Love's side. However, Tyler Allgeier being the one to prevent Love from being a fantasy RB2 is not likely at this point.

Was the better runner in a split backfield with Tyler Algier during Jeremiah Love's absence; if Love returns, Knight likely takes a backseat role (sprinkles/two-minute drill). The source recommends holding Knight due to the fantastic Dallas matchup and uncertainty around Love's status; he becomes a dub flex if Love doesn't play.

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.

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.

Has cushy matchup against Dallas this week; if Jeremiah Love misses time, Knight becomes RB2/flex option. Avoid in Week 9 against Seattle when Love may return.
