Michael Carter Off The Injury Report
New York Jets running back Michael Carter (ankle) was removed from the injury report and will play on Sunday versus AFC East rival Buffalo. Despite Carter's availability, rookie Zonovan Knight, who's had over 100 scrimmage yards in each of his first two professional games, is anticipated to remain the No. 1 option out of the backfield and handle most of the work. However, the Bills defense remains a top-10 fantasy run stop unit, so both Carter and Knight may have a tough time getting anything going for managers in Week 14.
Dec 10, 2022 • 4:09 PM | RotoBallerMichael Carter Returning To Full Practice
New York Jets running back Michael Carter (ankle) will be a full participant in Wednesday's practice after he was held out of the Week 13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings with a low-ankle sprain he suffered the week before. Carter had been the team's lead back ever since rookie Breece Hall (knee) was lost for the season, but rookie Zonovan Knight has stepped in with over 100 scrimmage yards in each of his first two NFL games with Carter being hurt the last two weeks. The Jets coaching staff plans to continue to give Knight a hefty role, meaning that Carter might be playing second fiddle in the Jets' backfield the rest of the season. Don't expect Carter to have a sizeable role if he's active this Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
Dec 7, 2022 • 5:47 PM | RotoBallerMichael Carter Officially Out Against Vikings
New York Jets running back Michael Carter (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. Carter didn't practice this week and was listed as doubtful on Friday, so fantasy managers should have already moved him to their benches days ago. With Carter sidelined at least for this weekend, the Jets are expected to use a running-back-by-committee approach, consisting of rookie Zonovan Knight, Ty Johnson and James Robinson, who was a healthy scratch in last week's win over the Chicago Bears. Knight was impressive in his NFL debut last weekend and figures to get the "start" against Minnesota. The 21-year-old has the most fantasy upside as a plug-and-play RB3/flex in Week 13.
Dec 4, 2022 • 4:45 PM | RotoBallerMichael Carter Not Expected To Play In Week 13
New York Jets running back Michael Carter (ankle) is not expected to suit up for the Week 13 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Head coach Robert Saleh mentioned it will be a committee approach for Sunday's game. That means, Zonovan Knight, Ty Johnson, and James Robinson should split up the carries in the backfield. Last week, Robinson was a healthy scratch, while Knight and Johnson performed well. Knight did the best, so the assumption is that he'll get the bulk of the carries. Fantasy managers who are in desperate need of a running back this week should see if Knight is available. Johnson could have some low-end PPR upside as the primary pass catching back.
Dec 4, 2022 • 2:41 PM | RotoBallerMichael Carter Doubtful To Face The Vikings
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that running back Michael Carter (ankle) is doubtful to play in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Carter is dealing with a low-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 12, but it looks like he'll miss at least one game. The 23-year-old was unable to practice on Wednesday and Thursday. James Robinson, who was a healthy scratch last week, figures to be active this weekend, but rookie Zonovan Knight and Ty Johnson are expected to handle most of the backfield work in Carter's absence. Knight saw a team-high 14 carries last Sunday and ran for 69 yards, adding three catches for 34 yards through the air. The 21-year-old could have RB2 upside if he again leads the Jets backfield this weekend.
Dec 2, 2022 • 5:00 PM | RotoBallerMichael Carter Absent From Practice Thursday
There was no sign of New York Jets running back Michael Carter (ankle) on the practice field on Thursday. Carter also missed Wednesday's practice, so he's trending towards missing the Week 13 game against the Minnesota Vikings unless he can return to practice in some form on Friday. The 23-year-old is only dealing with a low-ankle sprain, but he's still in danger of sitting out this weekend. Fantasy managers need to have a backup plan in case he's inactive. If Carter doesn't play, rookie Zonovan Knight figures to have a prominent role in the game plan, possibly sharing touches with Ty Johnson and James Robinson, who was a healthy scratch in Week 12. Knight led the team with 14 carries for 69 yards and caught three passes for 34 yards last week. He'll be a plug-and-play fantasy back with RB2 upside if Carter is unable to play.
Dec 1, 2022 • 7:00 PM | RotoBallerMichael Carter Not Practicing Wednesday
New York Jets running back Michael Carter (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday, according to head coach Robert Saleh. The Jets remain hopeful that Carter will be able to play through a low-ankle sprain in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings, but he remains day-to-day early in the week. And even if the 23-year-old is given the green light to play this Sunday, there's a good chance that rookie Zonovan Knight and Ty Johnson will have bigger roles in the Jets backfield, which will make Carter much more risky as a starting option in fantasy lineups. Knight is a very popular waiver-wire pickup this week as a result after he carried the ball a team-high 14 times for 69 yards while catching three passes for 34 targets in his NFL debut in the Week 12 win over the Chicago Bears. James Robinson, who was a healthy scratch last week, could also be involved if Carter cannot play this weekend.
Nov 30, 2022 • 5:18 PM | RotoBallerMichael Carter Has A Low-Ankle Sprain
New York Jets running back Michael Carter (ankle) is dealing with a low-ankle sprain and is being labeled day-to-day, according to head coach Robert Saleh. It's good news for the Jets and fantasy managers, as it isn't a long-term injury. The Jets will have more information on Carter's injury on Wednesday when they begin the practice week. The 23-year-old should have a chance to play in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings, but there's a good chance he'll be questionable. After Carter was injured in Sunday's win over the Chicago Bears, Zonovan Knight led the backfield with 14 carries for 69 yards, while Ty Johnson also added five carries for 62 yards (12.4 yards per carry) and a touchdown. James Robinson was a healthy scratch. If Carter isn't given the green light in Week 13, Knight and Johnson would most likely split the majority of backfield work.
Nov 28, 2022 • 11:16 PM | RotoBallerMichael Carter Has A Sprained Ankle
New York Jets running back Michael Carter suffered a sprained ankle during the Week 12 win over the Bears, according to head coach Robert Saleh. However, Saleh wasn't sure about the severity of the ailment. With Breece Hall (knee) done for the year, Carter had taken over the No. 1 spot on the depth chart. He struggled on Sunday, amassing only 21 yards off six touches while adding two catches for 15 yards. Yet, the team is certainly hoping for a positive update ahead of the Week 13 meeting against the Vikings. That said, Zonovan Knight, who had 14 carries for 69 yards and three receptions for 34 yards, may get more work if Carter can't suit up for that one. Ty Johnson, who had a touchdown in Week 12, would also likely remain involved.
Nov 27, 2022 • 10:13 PM | RotoBallerMichael Carter Doubtful To Return Sunday
New York Jets running back Michael Carter (ankle) is doubtful to return against the Chicago Bears in Week 12. He exited in the third quarter after logging 21 rushing yards and 15 receiving yards. The Jets are already without James Robinson (coach's decision), so Zonovan Knight and Ty Johnson will round out the backfield for the remainder of this interconference clash.
Nov 27, 2022 • 8:12 PM | RotoBallerMichael Carter Still The RB1 For Jets
New York Jets running back Michael Carter had a good day at training camp practice on Wednesday while running and catching, and he is still the team's RB1, according to a tweet from ESPN New York's Rich Cimini. Rookie Breece Hall is fully expected to surpass Carter as the lead back at some point this year, but Hall hasn't been all that impressive in training camp and the preseason. Because of the expectation that Hall will eventually be the guy in his rookie campaign, he's been the more attractive back in fantasy drafts, going as an RB2 with upside. But fantasy managers shouldn't forget about Carter in deeper leagues as an RB3/4 with the ability to catch passes out of the backfield.
