2025 Fantasy Outlook
Carter is arguably the best nickel cornerback in the NFL when healthy, but his box score stats were quiet in 2024, as he posted only one pass defensed and 24 tackles in 13 games while playing through a back injury. In the three preceding seasons, Carter averaged 7.7 passes defensed and 61.7 tackles. Carter's poised to bounce back if healthy under the Jets' new coaching staff. Read Past Outlooks

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade likely best option
Carter, who was traded from the Jets to the Eagles during the 2025 season, would be best served by moving on again this offseason, Aaron Schatz of ESPN.com opines.
ANALYSIS
Schatz makes a case that Carter's skills are "kind of wasted" playing behind the talented Cooper DeJean, and he adds Carter was barely used on defense by the Eagles down the stretch anyhow after being acquired. The 2021 fifth-round pick was very effective in his first three seasons while recording 185 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and 23 defensed passes, including two interceptions, over 47 regular-season games in New York before injuries affected his 2024 campaign.
