Fantasy Football Player Notes

It was another week of increased usage for the rookie running back. Carter received a whopping 14 targets on Sunday against the Bengals, catching nine passes for 95 yards. Carter also ran 15 times for 77 yards and a rushing touchdown. It was a monstrous performance that was helped by Mike White checking down to the rookie early and often. We know Carter is talented. He entered the weekend ranking 10th in PFF's elusive rating. An increased role elevates him inside the top-24 among RBs rest-of-season.

Johnson is handling the Jets' LDD snaps and two-minute work entering Week 5. It isn't enough to make him fantasy relevant. Instead, he's more of a thorn in the side of rookie Michael Carter.

Really, the entire Jets rushing attack could be considered sell candidates after a grim performance against Carolina. However, Michael Carter's a talented rookie whose role could grow as the season moves along, while Ty Johnson seems like the preferred combination of playing time and juice. Coleman, meanwhile, compiled 24 uninspiring yards on nine carries against the Panthers. It's okay to move on.

Life in the NFL has obviously been a struggle for Wilson, who continues to be overly reliant on his playmaking ability. Wilson's average time to throw has increased from 2.81 seconds in 2020 to 3.0 through three games as a professional. The supporting cast is arguably the worst in the league, which keeps Wilson well off the fantasy radar as September comes to a close.
