Michael Carter played a really solid game for the Arizona Cardinals last week.
But it sounds like the Cardinals may be looking at a different spot on their RB depth chart in Week 6.
ESPN's Adam Schefter has reported that Bam Knight will start for the Cardinals on Sunday in a backfield that will also include QB Jacoby Brissett, not Kyler Murray.
It's not exactly a move that anyone saw coming.

What is Bam Knight's real name?
Bam Knight's real name is Zonovan Knight.
There's a chance certain fantasy platforms or betting platforms still list him that way.
Bam Knight fantasy outlook Week 6
The news that Bam Knight is going to start in Week 6 is a big wrench in fantasy plans.
Carter seemed like a pretty safe starting choice for this week after an ample workload and a touchdown in Week 5.
Knight did score in Week 5, too, although he certainly took a backseat to Carter.
But now? Who can you play?
In a super deep league, Knight might be available on the waiver wire and be worth snagging.
But in standard-size leagues, this feels like a situation to avoid. There's no real way to know how this plays out.
Knight is probably slightly preferred to Carter based on this news, but it wouldn't be the first time a last-minute report didn't reflect the way things ended up playing out, either.
