Quick answer
Buy lowCarter ran for 333 yards and caught 33 passes in 2025, finishing RB52. He scored about 20% less than his touches said he should. The arc is recovery: RB62, then RB79, now RB52. Only 3 games in 2024 — availability is the headline. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
