Nathan Carter the New Handcuff at RB in Atlanta?

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.

Jacardia Wright News

Jacardia Wright Makes a Splash in Preseason Week 3

Saturday, August 23, 9:02 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Jacardia Wright recorded five carries for 65 yards in preseason Week 3. Wright recorded a long run of 61 yards. Wright is an undrafted rookie who is fighting to make the team. Even if he does make the team, he is likely to primarily contribute as a special teams player. Still, Wright flashed a break-away ability that is often sought after in NFL circles. His play on Saturday could have secured a spot on the roster. Wright is not of fantasy interest, but it is nice to know that the Seahawks could have a solid running back depth chart this coming season with George Holani and Damien Martinez impressing throughout various parts of the preseason.
