Bam Knight vs. Broncos: Expanded Backfield Role If Jeremiyah Love Sits

Knight broke out in Week 6 with 80 rushing yards on 15 carries while adding two receptions, providing Arizona's offense with a much-needed spark on the ground. With starter Jeremiyah Love missing practice due to an ankle injury, Knight is positioned to maintain a meaningful committee role alongside Tyler Allgeier.

Rostered in just 4% of leagues, Knight enters Week 7 as an intriguing depth option against Denver. Our weekly projection calls for roughly 6 carries, 23 rushing yards, and a catch (about 4–5 fantasy points), giving him deep-league flex appeal that could climb if Love is ultimately sidelined.

Brandin Cooks at Atlanta: Depth Option in a Favorable Scoring Environment

With Deebo Samuel Sr. sidelined by a hamstring injury and Mike Evans managing ailments, veteran Brandin Cooks has stepped directly into San Francisco's receiver rotation. While still acclimating to Kyle Shanahan's timing-based scheme, he has earned targets in back-to-back contests and already secured a touchdown for the undefeated 49ers.

In an indoor matchup with shootout upside, Cooks offers sneaky end-zone appeal but carries a rock-bottom floor. Our weekly models project just over one catch for 12 yards on two to three targets. Rostered in under five percent of leagues, he remains strictly a deep-league flier or desperation flex.
