BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Zonovan Knight accumulated 419 rushing attempts and 2,286 rushing yards during his three seasons at North Carolina State, while he also assembled 337 yards as a receiver. He was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Jets in May but did not register a touch from Weeks 1-11. However, he was launched into a sizable role when New York hosted Chicago in Week 12, and his ability to capitalize on his opportunity has vaulted him among this week’s top priorities from the waiver wire.
James Robinson was relegated to healthy inactive status during the Jets’ Week 12 matchup, while Knight operated in a rotation with Michael Carter. However, Carter sustained an ankle injury during the contest, which elevated Knight into lead back duties.
Knight responded by generating 103 total yards with his 17 touches. That included 69 rushing yards on 14 attempts (4.9 yards per attempt), while he also captured all three of his targets, and assembled 34 receiving yards.
Carter’s health should be monitored as the Jets’ Week 13 matchup at Minnesota approaches. However, Knight has become one of this week's top priorities, as he could be operating as the Jets’ RB1 versus the Vikings.
