Michael Carter News
Wednesday, April 1, 7:51 PM
The Tennessee Titans have signed free agent running back Michael Carter, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Carter reunites with Robert Saleh, who was his head coach when the Jets drafted him and is now the head coach of the Titans. The 26-year-old wasn't always fantasy relevant last year, but he had a decent season nonetheless. He ultimately played in 13 games and ranked as the overall RB48 in PPR leagues with 333 rushing yards, 33 catches, 267 receiving yards, and one touchdown. He made five starts along the way, highlighted by an 18.3-point performance in Week 5 against (ironically) the Titans. Carter projects as the No. 3 running back in Tennessee, slotting into a depth role behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears. He faces an uphill battle to earn fantasy-relevant snaps in 2026.

Nathan Carter News
Monday, March 16, 7:10 PM
Atlanta Falcons running back Nathan Carter went undrafted last year out of Michigan State and only saw nine carries for 60 yards in seven games played in 2025 in his first year in the NFL. Seven of his nine carries on the year came in the team's Week 3 loss to the Carolina Panthers. The 23-year-old was buried on the RB depth chart behind both Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier. Carter should have a much bigger role in 2026, though, after Allgeier left in free agency. The Falcons could still add to the position via the NFL draft in April, but as things currently stand, Carter appears to be the handcuff option for fantasy managers who take Robinson at No. 1 overall in fantasy football drafts this fall. The only other running back on the Falcons' current roster is Carlos Washington Jr., who hasn't played a single snap on offense in his two years in the NFL.
