RB ATL (5)
Thu 1/8/26 12:22 PM

Carter rushed nine times for 60 yards across seven regular-season games in 2025.
EDGE Analysis
Carter, an undrafted rookie from Michigan State, was active for just seven games this season, as he was buried behind Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier in the Falcons' backfield. Seven of Carter's nine carries on the season came in the Week 3 loss to the Panthers, a game in which Atlanta was shut out. With Allgeier set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Carter could have the opportunity to compete for the Falcons' No. 2 running back role ahead of the 2026 season.

Carter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Carter will be a healthy inactive for the fourth time in the Hawks' last six games, and Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier will operate as the Falcons' two active running backs for Sunday's road tilt. Carter's next opportunity to play is Thursday against the Buccaneers, though he's unlikely to play in that game unless Robinson or Allgeier were sidelined or if the Falcons require additional help on special teams.

Carter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Carter will be a healthy scratch for the second time in the Falcons' last three games, which leaves Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier as the two active running backs for Sunday's NFC South tilt. Carter's next chance to play is Week 13 against the Jets on Sunday, Nov. 30.

Carter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carter played two snaps on offense during the Falcons' Week 8 loss against the Dolphins and turned two carries into 14 yards. However, the undrafted rookie will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's contest in New England, as the Falcons go with Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier as their two active running backs.

Carter rushed twice for 14 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Carter played just two of the Falcons' 50 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as Atlanta's No. 3 running back behind both Bijan Robinson (30) and Tyler Allgeier (20). In three appearances this season, the rookie running back has played a total of 10 offensive snaps and recorded just nine carries for 60 yards. Barring an injury to Robinson or Allgeier, Carter remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Patriots.

Carter (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Once again, the Falcons will go with just two running backs on the gameday roster, as Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier will handle all backfield duties.

Carter (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carter was forced to miss the team's Week 4 win over the Commanders due to a hamstring injury, but he now appears to be all set for Week 6. The running back will likely be back in his role as the No. 3 option behind Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier on Monday Night Football against Buffalo.

Carter (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carter carried the ball seven times for 46 yards in garbage time during last Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Panthers. With Carter out for Week 4, the Falcons could elevate Carlos Washington from the practice squad to serve as the RB3 behind Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier.

Carter rushed seven times for 46 yards during Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Panthers. He also lost a fumble.
EDGE Analysis
The undrafted rookie was a healthy scratch for Week 1, but he's been active the past two games. He saw only one offensive snap during his NFL debut in Minnesota on Monday Night Football, but he got more playing time during Sunday's blowout loss. Carter didn't see any offensive snaps until the Falcons' final drive, but he got the ball on each play of the drive and looked good until he fumbled on his final touch. As long as Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier are healthy, there won't be many meaningful snaps for Carter every week.

Carter is inactive for Sunday's regular-season opener against Tampa Bay, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carter made Atlanta's initial 53-man roster following a strong preseason, but he's not expected to see much work on offense this season with Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier heading the Falcons' backfield. Carlos Washington, who was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, will serve as the team's third RB in Week 1.
