Zonovan Knight
RB -
Week 5 Outlook
Availability
The Detriot Lions waived RB Zonovan Knight on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
The Lions signed Knight to a one-year deal earlier this offseason, but he will not make the final cut given the crowded backfield he was a part of.
Zonovan Knight took 10 carries for 27 yards in the Lions 24-17 win over the Steelers. He also caught his lone target for eight yards receiving.
Fantasy Impact
Knight appeared in two games last season with Detroit. He continues to compete for a depth role in the Lions backfield.
Zonovan Knight carried the ball eight times for 36 yards in a 24-23 win over the Chiefs in preseason action on Saturday. He was not targeted in the passing game.
Fantasy Impact
Knight led the Lions in rushing in a game where both Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery did not suit up. Knight will continue to try to earn a roster spot as a reserve option in the Detroit backfield this preseason.
The Detroit Lions have re-signed Zonovan Knight.
Fantasy Impact
Turner is recovering from season-ending shoulder surgery. He'll likely remain in a depth role in the Lions backfield.
Zonovan Knight suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in his Week 5 game against the Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
Knight only saw one touch in the win over Carolina, an eight-yard reception. He finishes his 2023 season with three carries for 13 yards and the lone reception. Playing on a one-year deal with the Lions, Knight will look to rehab and catch on with another team in the 2024 offseason.
