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
RANKS
Signed a two-year, $1.85 million contract with the Cardinals in December of 2025. Traded to the Patriots in August of 2026.
Six carries in defeat
Kiner turned six carries into 11 yards during Wednesday night's 13-10 loss to the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Kiner operated as the Patriots' No. 2 running back behind starter Rhamondre Stevenson with TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) unavailable. Kiner was on the field for eight of the team's 71 total offensive snaps, with Stevenson (60) handling the lion's share. If Henderson is sidelined again in Week 2, Kiner will likely operate in a similar role against the Steelers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could get change-of-pace work Week 1
Kiner could work as the primary backup to Rhamondre Stevenson in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Seahawks, as TreVeyon Henderson has yet to resume practicing as of Saturday due to an ankle injury, per Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald.
ANALYSIS
New England usually likes to mix multiple running backs into the game, so Kiner would likely be in line for a few touches in the season-opening Super Bowl rematch if Henderson's unable to suit up. Kiner was acquired from the Cardinals in an Aug. 29 trade to fill the third spot on the Patriots' running back depth chart behind Stevenson and Henderson.
