From the episode

I think it was a very, very weird year for Carter overall, starting with spit gate in the beginning of the season and just never really fully being the player that we thought he was going into the season.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Carter had a very weird year marked by 'spit gate' early in the season and never fully became the player expected, though he remains in the top five defense consideration due to other factors.
