Carter "said he's completely healthy" again after dealing with a back injury during the 2024 season, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback didn't fully heal from the injury until February, per Rosenblatt. Carter had a disappointing 2024 after signing a three-year, $30.75 million extension before the season started, missing four games due to injury, playing far fewer snaps than he did in 2023 (647 to 263), starting five fewer contests (six to one) and setting career lows in tackles (24) and pass breakups (one). This year, the 2021 fifth-round pick will try to return to the form of his first few seasons, when he recorded at least 50 tackles and five pass breakups in each campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2021
Carter has developed into one of the top slot cornerbacks in the NFL, posting nine passes defensed in each of the last two seasons. The 2021 fifth-round draft pick heads into the final year of his rookie contract as a member of arguably the league's best cornerback room, with Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed starting on the outside.
Carter should reprise his role as the nickel corner in the stout Jets secondary, with Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed locked into starting roles on the outside. In 2022, Carter recorded 63 tackles, two interceptions and nine passes defensed.
The second Michael Carter selected by the Jets in the 2021 draft, this Carter is a versatile defender out of Duke who will likely see time at both safety and nickel cornerback. What Carter lacks in size (5-foot-9 and 184 pounds), he makes up for in speed, as the rookie fifth-round pick ran a blistering 4.36 in the 40-yard dash.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No extension talks
CBNew York Jets
June 3, 2024
Carter has yet to engage in contract extension talks with the Jets, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old is headed into the final year of his rookie contract after being selected in the fifth round of the 2021 Draft, and he's coming off a season in which he led all nickel cornerbacks in a number of statistical categories. The Jets have some tough decisions to make in their secondary, though, as starting boundary corners Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed will both potentially be looking for new deals after the 2024 season. That may not leave much cap room to also extend Carter, despite his strong play last year.
