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.

Carter (ankle) was left off the Jets' injury report Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Carter was limited during training camp due to an ankle injury he sustained in late July. He appears to be fully recovered from the injury, and he will be good to go for Monday's regular-season opener against the 49ers. Carter signed a three-year, $33 million contract extension with the Jets on Tuesday after totalling 50 tackles (37 solo), nine pass deflections and one forced fumble across 15 regular-season games in 2023.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
Carter should reprise his role as the nickel corner in the stout Jets secondary, with Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed locked into starting roles on the outside. In 2022, Carter recorded 63 tackles, two interceptions and nine passes defensed.
The second Michael Carter selected by the Jets in the 2021 draft, this Carter is a versatile defender out of Duke who will likely see time at both safety and nickel cornerback. What Carter lacks in size (5-foot-9 and 184 pounds), he makes up for in speed, as the rookie fifth-round pick ran a blistering 4.36 in the 40-yard dash.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No extension talks
CBNew York Jets
June 3, 2024
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.
