2024 Fantasy Outlook
Carter has developed into one of the top slot cornerbacks in the NFL, posting nine passes defensed in each of the last two seasons. 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.

Won't play vs. Bills
Carter (back) is listed as out for Monday's game versus Buffalo, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Carter has been able to play through nagging injuries for the entire season up to this point, but he'll miss his first game of the year in Week 6. In his stead, Brandin Echols should see increased work.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No extension talks
Carter has yet to engage in contract extension talks with the Jets, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old is headed into the final year of his rookie contract after being selected in the fifth round of the 2021 Draft, and he's coming off a season in which he led all nickel cornerbacks in a number of statistical categories. The Jets have some tough decisions to make in their secondary, though, as starting boundary corners Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed will both potentially be looking for new deals after the 2024 season. That may not leave much cap room to also extend Carter, despite his strong play last year.
