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.
Abysmal showing Sunday
RBArizona Cardinals
December 7, 2025
Knight was held to 16 yards on seven carries while catching three of six targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Knight failed to take advantage of lead-back duties even with both Trey Benson (knee) and Emari Demercado (ankle) still missing Sunday. The 24-year-old Knight struggled to generate much running room early on, then fell victim to the blowout game script in the second half. The journeyman backup failed to mask his poor production with a trip to the end zone like we saw in Weeks 11 and 12. With the aforementioned teammates potentially nearing returns, Knight's brief run of fantasy utility could come to a close in short order, assuming it hasn't run dry already.

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
Possible elevated receiving role
RBArizona Cardinals
December 5, 2025
Knight could be in for extra pass-catching work out of the backfield in Sunday's game against the Rams due to the Cardinals being down two wide receivers, per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
The third-year back has flashed some pass-catching chops in recent games, posting a combined 11-77-1 line on 12 targets over his last three contests. Knight will once again serve as the No. 1 back Sunday with both Emari Demercado and Trey Benson unavailable in a game wideouts Marvin Harrison and Greg Dortch will also sit out due to heel and chest injuries, respectively.
