Bottom Line

Carter’s 2021 rookie season looked promising.

Since then, the Jets have clearly wanted him out of a lead role.

Breece Hall arrived in Round 2 last year. Then came the selection of Round 5 RB Israel Abanikanda in April.

Perhaps Hall lands on the PUP list as he recovers from a mid-season ACL/meniscus injury. As of this writing, though, he’s been setback-free. It leaves Carter as just a deep-league flier.

What We Learned Last Year
  • The Jets used a 2022 Round 2 pick (36th overall) on Breece Hall.
  • In six full games with Hall, Carter averaged 11.8 touches per game.
  • Hall sustained a torn ACL and a meniscus injury in Week 7.
  • From Week 8 on, Carter averaged only 7.6 touches per game. He was essentially phased out of a dysfunctional offense late in the year.
    • Rookie UDFA Zonovan Knight averaged 12.1 carries per game over the final seven weeks.
  • Overall, Carter finished as a top-24 PPR RB in only four games.
  • Among 45 RBs with 100+ carries, Carter ranked 43rd in Pro Football Focus rushing grade, 45th in yards per carry, and 36th in yards after contact per attempt.
What to Expect in 2023
  • Per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic, the Jets “think Carter will bounce back and also believe that Israel Abanikanda…can make an immediate impact.”
  • Abanikanda arrived in Round 5 and brings a big-play skill set.
  • That duo would likely work in a rotation if Breece Hall misses early-season games.
    • Hall tore his ACL and suffered a meniscus injury on October 23. HC Robert Saleh has said he's optimistic Hall will play Week 1, but it’s far from a lock.
  • The Jets let go of OC Mike LaFleur after the season.
    • Nathaniel Hackett joined the club to call plays.
    • While his tenure in Denver proved disastrous, Hackett brings familiarity with Aaron Rodgers from their time Green Bay.
    • We expect this unit to approach a 60% pass rate – no help to the team’s rush volume.

Emari Demercado, RB ARI

2:34pm EST 11/26/23

Emari Demercardo & Michael Carter active

Cardinals RB Emari Demercado (toe) is active for today’s game vs. the Rams. It’ll be his first action since Week 8. RB Michael Carter will also make his Arizona debut today, while RB Keaontay Ingram is a healthy scratch. James Conner should still operate as the Cardinals’ clear lead back.

Cardinals RB Michael Carter is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Texans. Not a big surprise after he was acquired earlier this week. With RB Emari Demercado out with his toe injury, it'll be RBs Tony Jones and Keaontay Ingram behind James Conner.

The Cardinals have claimed former Jets RB Michael Carter off waivers. That gives Arizona a back who has averaged 2.4 receptions per game since he entered the league in 2021. Carter figures to work into some rushing role as well. But his greatest impact is likely to come in the passing game. The Cardinals had already favored pulling RB James Conner off the field for some passing situations, using Emari Demercado earlier this season. Week 10 found them giving the combo of Keaontay Ingram and Tony Jones Jr. nearly as many routes as Conner (13-10) in his return game. Carter brings more proven receiving ability than all of those RBs and could further cut into Conner's receiving. That doesn't doom the Arizona starter but hurts his weekly stability, especially when his team falls behind. Carter isn't likely to deliver much fantasy value the rest of the way and should be no more than a low-level PPR stash. You can drop Demercado if you haven't already. Conner remains a low-end RB2 option. Check our Week 11 RB rankings to see where he sits for the matchup with Houston.

Dynasty Write-up
When healthy in 2022, Breece Hall predictably crushed Carter's fantasy value. Then this past draft, the Jets used a Round 5 pick on speedster Israel Abanikanda. Carter was waived by New York in November and picked up by Arizona. It's a nice spot for opportunity long term, but he's maxed out as a committee back.
