Michael Carter

Michael Carter rushed the ball 11 times for 65 yards in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Fantasy Impact

Carter was Arizona's most effective rusher on Sunday. He led the team with 65 yards and was also able to maintain strong efficiency, running at a clip of 5.9 yards per carry. He wasn't able to get into the end zone or catch any passes, however, which left him with an underwhelming fantasy total overall.

Michael Carter ran for 56 yards on 14 attempts and caught all four of his targets for 38 yards in the Cardinals' 40-20 loss to Houston.

Fantasy Impact

Carter got more due to Bam Knight suffering an injury early on in the game. He was effective both running and receiving, and he thoroughly out-touched Emari Demarcado. If Knight misses time, Carter becomes an interesting flex option for Week 16.

Michael Carter carried the ball three times for 13 yards and caught two of his four targets for 18 yards in a 45-17 loss to the Rams in Week 14.

Fantasy Impact

Carter worked behind Zonovan Knight, with both running backs struggling to produce in the lopsided loss to the Rams. Carter should continue to play a change-of-pace role for the Cardinals but he won't be a reliable fantasy option in Week 15's tough matchup against the Texans.

Michael Carter rushed five times for 17 yards and had five receptions for 47 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Bucs. 

Fantasy Impact

Carter’s usage this season has been up and down in the absence of both James Connor and Trey Benson. With the expected return of Trey Benson in Week 14, Carter’s role will be mostly limited to pass-catching duties at best and minimal involvement at worst. 

Michael Carter ran five times for 28 yards and caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in the Cardinals' 27-24 loss to the Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact

Carter was more efficient than backfield mate Bam Knight, but Knight was the one who had the touchdown. Carter will continue to be a low-end flex play as long as Trey Benson is out.
