Jets Beat: RB Zonovan Knight has earned full-time role

Dec 06, 2022

Since then, Zonovan Knight has emerged as the Jets’ most talented running back. He’s earned a full-time role, one he’ll keep even when Michael Carter returns from an ankle injury that knocked him out of Sunday’s loss to the Vikings. Knight totaled 103 yards — plus another 18 as a kick returner — against the Bears in his debut, and that wasn’t a fluke.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said the Jets have always liked Knight's skills and were grooming Knight for a role later in the season, despite being inactive for several games early on. So that time is now. It sounds like Knight will continue to have fantasy value this year, and at least split work when Carter is back in the lineup. Those thinking ahead and wondering about next year may realize it's looking like a crowded backfield when Hall is back for 2023.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
