2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Kiner logged four regular-season appearances as a rookie with Arizona in 2025 after having gone undrafted out of Cincinnati. He totaled 12 carries for 58 yards and two catches for 15 yards, which was sparse considering that the Cardinals backfield lost its two top playmakers in James Conner and Trey Benson for the campaign at various points. Now, not only are Conner and Benson still around in 2026, both are now competing for reserve work after Arizona drafted Jeremiyah Love third overall and inked Tyler Allgeier in free agency. Kiner’s best-case scenario is likely a practice-squad spot. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $1.85 million contract with the Cardinals in December of 2025.
Finds paydirt Thursday
Kiner recorded 14 carries for 57 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's 33-30 preseason loss versus the Panthers. He also logged two catches for nine yards.
ANALYSIS
Kiner opened the scoring in the first exhibition of the preseason with a one-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter. He also led both teams in carries while maintaining decent efficiency. Whether he makes the cut for Arizona's initial 53-man roster could depend somewhat on the health of veteran James Conner (foot).

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Pedestrian athletic profile
Kiner projects to be drafted in the sixth or seventh round, according to Dane Brugler of The Athletic's comprehensive 2025 NFL Draft Guide.
ANALYSIS
Kiner rushed for 2,200 yards across his last two college seasons at Cincinnati, but his draft stock is held back by lackluster measurements. He measured at just 5-foot-8 and 209 pounds, and Kiner's hands are the smallest in the 2025 running back draft class, at only 7.75 inches. Kiner's 4.57-second 40-yard dash also isn't particularly impressive.
