2025 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Bam Knight in 2025. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
RANKS
Signed a one-year, $1.03 million contract with the Cardinals in January of 2025.
Full practice Thursday
RBArizona Cardinals
October 16, 2025
Knight (knee) practiced fully Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Knight was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a knee injury, but his return to all activity one day later indicates he's good to resume his backfield committee role with Michael Carter in the absences of James Conner (foot, IR) and Trey Benson (knee, IR). In the Cardinals' Week 6 loss at Indianapolis, Knight earned 37 offensive snaps to Carter's 32, and their stat lines were strikingly similar, as Knight turned 12 touches into 54 yards and one TD, and Carter tallied 11 touches for 64 total yards and no end-zone visits. Such a breakdown of reps is entirely possible Sunday versus the Packers.

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.
