Arizona Cardinals RB Bam Knight (knee) is questionable for Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
| Footballguys view: Knight practiced all week, albeit in a limited capacity. Most of the Cardinals' beat writers expect him to start. While his workload has been decent, he's been highly inefficient with his touches and will likely cede passing-down work to Michael Carter. If active, he can be started as a touchdown-dependent RB3. |
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (illness) is questionable for Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
| Footballguys view: Harrison was limited in practice every day this week. He underwent an appendectomy a couple of weeks ago and has missed the last two games. In his absence, Michael Wilson has emerged as a bona fide WR1. How the two will coexist if and when Harrison returns remains to be seen. If active, he'll be hard to keep off lineups, but there's a risk he could be limited. With an early kickoff, managers should have an alternate ready just in case. |
Arizona Cardinals RB Emari Demercado (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
| Footballguys view: With Demercado and Trey Benson both out, Bam Knight and Michael Carter will shoulder the load. Expect Knight to get most of the goal-line work, while Carter is likely to see heavy usage as a pass-catcher. Both are shaky flex plays this week, especially with no teams on bye. |
Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) was ruled out for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: After practicing early in the week, Benson was downgraded to a DNP on Thursday. It's unclear whether that was part of his rehab plan or a setback, but his "out" designation suggests the latter. Since his 21-day return window has already been opened, the team has until December 10 to activate him. If they don't, the window closes and his season is over. Benson will have a shot to return in Week 15 against the Rams. With tough matchups against the Texans and Falcons in the next two games, his best-case scenario might be functioning as a late-season stash, someone you could potentially deploy in the fantasy championships if he shows anything encouraging. The worst-case scenario is that he doesn't see the field again this year. |
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (illness) was limited in practice on Thursday, Nov. 27.
| Footballguys view: Harrison is limited again, but it seems like he's trending in the right direction. If he plays in Week 13, Harrison is a flex option for Fantasy GMs. |

Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson caught 10 of his 15 targets for 118 yards in a 27-24 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12.
| Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Josh Weinfuss, Wilson has embraced his role as WR1 with another impressive showing. Whenever Marvin Harrison Jr. comes back from appendicitis surgery, Wilson will remain a significant option for quarterback Jacoby Brissett -- perhaps even the top option beyond TE Trey McBride. The Cardinals travel to face the Buccaneers in Week 13. |

Arizona Cardinals RB Bam Knight (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 21, and is not on the injury report for Week 12.
| Footballguys view: Knight and Michael Carter have been splitting touches fairly evenly. Knight gets slightly more goal-line work, while Carter sees more passing-down usage. This game projects to be close, giving either running back a chance to produce, but the floors are low. We lean slightly toward Knight, though both remain risky RB3s. |
Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 21, but has been ruled out for Week 12.
| Footballguys view: Benson's return feels near, as he logged a whole week of practice, albeit in a limited capacity. Bam Knight and Michael Carter have recently split touches evenly. Both can be started as RB3s, with a slight lean toward Knight. Benson hopes to return next week and regain his short-lived role atop the depth chart. |

Arizona Cardinals RB Bam Knight (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, Nov. 19.
| Footballguys view: Knight could be in line for a workload as a runner with Michael Carter working as a primary receiving back. Add in Trey Benson, who was just activated off IR, and you can see how the Cardinals backfield is a bit of a mess right now. |
Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, Nov. 19.
| Footballguys view: Benson may be available for the Cardinals in Week 12. Bam Knight and Michael Carter are set to be the top backs for the team if Benson has to miss another week. He just had his 21-day practice window opened. |

Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) was ruled out for Week 12.
| Footballguys view: Not only is Harrison out in Week 12, but there's a chance he has to miss more time due to his appendix. Without Harrison, QB Jacoby Brissett is going to lean on Michael Wilson. With Wilson coming off a 15-catch, 185-yard performance in Week 11, he's getting inserted into a lot of starting lineups as a WR2. |
Arizona Cardinals RB Emari Demercado (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 12.
| Footballguys view: Bam Knight, Michael Carter, and maybe Trey Benson (who had his 21-day window opened on Wednesday) are the options for the Cardinals in Week 12. Right now, without knowing Benson's status, we like Knight as an RB2/flex option and Carter as a RB3/deep flex option for Fantasy GMs out there. |
Arizona Cardinals RB Michael Carter split the backfield snaps with RB Bam Knight in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. Carter had 33 snaps, or 42 percent of the 79 offensive plays, while Knight had 32 snaps, or 41 percent.
| Footballguys view: With Emari Demercado out in Week 12 due to a high-ankle sprain, the Cardinals are looking to Carter and Knight to do more. They also may be getting Trey Benson back this week, although we have to see his participation level in practice. Benson's 21-day return window was opened on Wednesday. |

Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, Nov. 19.
| Footballguys view: Benson has been out of action for over a month as he recovers from this knee injury. There's a chance he could be active for Week 12, and in that instance he would be splitting time with Bam Knight and Michael Carter. Let's see what he can do this week during practice. |
