Bam Knight Splits Time, Leads Work and Production

The Cardinals split time near-evenly between RBs in Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay. Michael Carter actually edged Bam Knight in total snaps, but Knight again led in touches and out-produced his teammate. Knight carried 11 times for 62 yards (5.6 yards per rush) to Carter's five carries for 17 yars (3.4). Carter beat Knight 6-3 in targets and 5-3 in receptions, but Knight still posted a nice 3-36-1 receiving line. Carter snagged 5 receptions for 47 yards.

The Week 13 usage for Knight and Carter could be rendered moot if Trey Benson's ready to return for next Sunday's game. But he managed just one limited practice in his return from IR, sitting out Thursday and Friday workouts after that return.

We'll see about Benson's status leading into a negative matchup with the Rams defense. Knight remains worth holding while we wait. Carter should be droppable in all but the deepest of leagues.

We'll also see about the status of RB Emari Demercado, who missed all three days of practice before sitting out the Bucs loss.
