Who Should I Start? Michael Carter or Jahmyr Gibbs

Saturday, November 8, 7:14 PM

The Arizona Cardinals promoted running back Michael Carter to the active roster from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Carter was cut by the Cardinals the week leading into their Week 9 matchup against the Cowboys, but was quickly signed back to the practice squad soon thereafter. The 26-year-old has fallen out of favor after operating as Arizona's lead back in Week 5 against the Titans, when he handled 18 carries for 51 yards and a touchdown to go with five catches (five targets) for 22 yards. Carter has since fallen behind Bam Knight and Emari Demercado in the pecking order for touches and didn't play a single snap in Week 9 versus Dallas. It appears to be trending toward a two-man backfield in Week 10 against Seattle, but things could change. Carter can likely be left on the waiver wire.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had 15 carries for 142 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders. He also caught three of his four targets for an additional 30 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. Just one week removed from a disappointing showing at home, Gibbs bounced back with a monstrous three-touchdown explosion on the road. This marked his largest fantasy points total of the 2025 season, vaulting him to the overall RB4 spot in PPR leagues. Managers should continue to deploy Gibbs as a high-end RB1 in fantasy football, including next week against the Philadelphia Eagles.
