DeAndre Carter has signed to join the Lions' practice squad.
Fantasy Impact
Carter has yet to play this season after he was released by the Browns in late August. The veteran appeared in four games for the Browns last season, returning six punts and 11 kickoffs while playing solely on special teams.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said DeAndre Carter came out of Sunday's game with a multi-week injury and will be sidelined for Week 5.
Fantasy Impact
Stefanski said Carter came out of this past week's game with multi-week injuries. He is considered week-to-week.
The Browns released WR and return specialist DeAndre Carter.
Fantasy Impact
Carter signed a one-year deal with Cleveland back in March. He spent last season with the Bears.
WR DeAndre Carter (hamstring) is expected to sign a one-year contract with the Browns, per league sources. The 31-year-old, who turns 32 in April, played 13 games for the Bears in 2024, notching nine catches for 72 yards without a score on sparse offensive snaps. Carter also handled kickoff and punt returns before a hamstring injury sidelined him for the final four weeks. His special teams prowess will likely define his role in Cleveland.
Fantasy Impact
Carter’s move to Cleveland won’t ripple most fantasy pools—his nine grabs in 2024 scream roster filler, not starter. His return skills matter for real football, but offensive snaps will stay slim, keeping him off the radar outside return-yardage leagues. The hamstring’s healed, but at 32, he’s a depth piece—dynasty managers can skip him, and redraft players won’t notice. He’s a non-factor unless injuries gut the Browns’ WR room.
DeAndre Carter (ribs) is active for Week 5 for the Chicago Bears against the Carolina Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
Carter was able to log limited practice sessions to end the week for the Bears, and will suit up for a Chicago offense for more consistent output beginning with a favorable Week 5 matchup against the Panthers.
