Video: Ranking Every Week 17 WR and RB as a Start or Sit
Michael Carter is an interesting one because it's like he's sharing the backfield with De Marcado and now Cory Kleiner, but he is the starting running back. Vegas has his uh total yards up at 64... he was efficient last week... he ran a lot of routes still... for him to run, you know, 25 routes in this game and catch no passes doesn't feel like a [signal].

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Starting RB with 64-yard projection; dub flex in great matchup.

Carter is the starting RB for Cincinnati despite sharing the backfield with De'Marco and Cory Kleiner; Vegas projects him at 64 total yards with an incredible matchup against Arizona. He was efficient last week and ran 25 routes despite catching no passes, which the source views as noise rather than signal. Vegas has his receiving yardage total at 17.5, which is significant for a running back. The source ranks him as dub flex and feels fine going back to him based on the matchup.
