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.

Dealing with reoccuring injury
Head coach Robert Saleh stated Monday that Carter is still dealing with an ankle injury that will likely limit him throughout the season, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Carter picked up the injury early in training camp and doesn't appear that it will be healing on its own anytime soon. Saleh suggested the Duke product will likely be going in and out of games throughout the season as he plays through the injury. Although things can change, it sounds like Carter should be able to play Thursday against the Patriots.

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.
