Michael Carter is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 7 of the 2021 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 52% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Carter will return from his Week 6 bye as the team leader in rushing attempts (47/9.4 per game) and rushing yards (165/33 per game). He has also accrued 43 attempts (10.8 per game) and generated 159 yards (39.8 per game) since Week 2, while Ty Johnson has carried 22 times (5.5 per game) and produced 80 yards on the ground (20 per game). Tevin Coleman has been relegated to 12 attempts (4.0 per game) and 49 yards (16.3 per game) during that four-game sequence.
Carter also paces the Jets’ backfield in targets (14/2.8 per game), receptions (9/1.8 per game), and receiving yards (64/12.8 per game), while functioning within an attack that ranks sixth in pass per percentage (64.5%). He is also leading New York with a 51% snap share since Week 4, which easily leads Johnson (35.7%), and Coleman (14.3%). Carter is also a strong candidate to commandeer a larger workload as the season progresses. This provides your motivation to secure him while he remains available in nearly 50% of all leagues.
