Bam Knight Outplays Allgeier in Backfield Battle
29 Oct
Summary
- Bam Knight outperformed Tyler Allgeier in recent carries and receiving yards.
- Allgeier has struggled with efficiency despite more carries recently.
- Knight is positioned as a viable RB3/4 option if Love remains sidelined.
In recent games, Bam Knight has demonstrated superior performance over teammate Tyler Allgeier in the Cardinals' backfield. Knight recorded seven rushes for 48 yards and added three receptions for 15 yards in the team's Week 7 loss. His longest run of 29 yards surpassed Allgeier's longest run of 19 yards. Although Allgeier received one more carry than Knight, he accumulated only 57 yards on 26 attempts across two recent absences by Jeremiyah Love. Knight has been more efficient, gaining 128 yards on four fewer carries than Allgeier.
Knight also had a potential touchdown opportunity dropped by Jacoby Brissett, which resulted in a field goal instead. The availability of Jeremiyah Love for the upcoming game against Dallas remains uncertain. Should Love be unable to play, Knight is projected to share the backfield workload as the '1B' option, placing him in the RB3/4 fantasy football rankings.
