Should You Start or Sit Bam Knight in Week 6?
News broke that Bam Knight, not Michael Carter, will assume the lead role for Week 6 against the Colts, a move that makes this entire backfield a fade.
This news came after reports of Jacoby Brissett starting under center, and it’s difficult to think the two aren’t connected. While I like the idea of him being something of a comfort target for the backup QB, we are looking at a player who has exceeded 13 touches only three times in his NFL career and has two other RBs vying for work.
The expectation is for Arizona to struggle to score 20 points, and if that’s the case, a backfield divided is one best avoided. I have no issue in holding onto Knight, but make sure it’s with awfully limited expectations.
