BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 54% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Last chance, fancy pants. Carter's rostership has already broken the 50-percent mark so this is probably the last time we'll be writing about him as he should be getting on more and more rosters as the season keeps growing old. The Jets rookie is going on a bye week, though, so this might be a good window of opportunity for needy GMs out there to snath him from the WW if any other fantasy GM rostering him opts to drop the tailback in advance of him missing next weekend's slate of games.
Michael Carter is coming off his best game of the year after putting up 14.8 PPR points against Atlanta in London. The snaps did go up starting in Week 2 and the trend has remained there as MC has played at least 43% of all Jets offensive plays from Week 2 to last Sunday. Carter has already logged three games of 10+ PPR points with a dud of 4.9 in W3 (season-low 23 snaps played, though).
Carter's a lock to command 10+ rushing attempts weekly, has scored touchdowns on back-to-back games now, and he's rushed the rock for at least 38 yards in three of the past four games--and all three in which he carried the ball 10+ times). Carter's also on a steady diet of 3 targets per game (his targets in each of all last four weeks) while he's been good for 64 receiving yards on 9 receptions through W5. Take advantage of the bye, stash Carter, and deploy him come W7 as he is more than good for an RB2/RB3 start in pretty much all leagues, let alone the deeper ones where he's a true must-have/must-star player already.
