2025 Fantasy Outlook
Carter was one of 13 wide receivers in camp to begin the summer, and the Browns needed that many targets for four quarterbacks. Two of the top three receivers from 2024 are gone, which opens an opportunity for a player like Carter, who is new to organization. His history as a returner on both punts and kickoffs should help, as coaches may want to limit the exposure of last season's leading kickoff returner, Jerome Ford, who is expected to start at running back in 2025. Carter's main competitors at wideout are incumbents David Bell, Cedric Tillman, Michael Woods and newcomer Diontae Johnson. Read Past Outlooks

Overall
Signed a one-year contract with the Browns in March of 2025.
Makes lone preseason appearance
Carter returned three punts for 32 yards and one kickoff for 10 yards in Saturday's 19-17 preseason win over the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Carter, who sat out the first two preseason games, made his lone appearance this summer. His experience as a returner makes him the favorite to claim a return job, but the 53-man roster projection from Zac Jackson of The Athletic puts him on the bubble. Undrafted rookie Gage Larvadain had a strong camp as a receiver and also returned punts during preseason competition. The Browns could leave Carter off the initial 53-man roster and then bring him back after sorting out other issues.

Carter posted career highs in receptions and yards with a 46-538-3 line on 65 targets in 17 games during his lone season with the Chargers in 2022, but he left Los Angeles in free agency for a one-year deal worth $1.5 million in Las Vegas. Standing just 5-8, Carter generally profiles as a slot receiver, which is a crowded space among the Raiders' receiving corps with Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers and Hunter Renfrow all capable of sliding inside. Meanwhile, third-round rookie Tre Tucker, Keelan Cole and Phillip Dorsett also in the team's wide receiver mix. The 30-year-old will likely compete primarily with Renfrow for playing time in three-wide sets, while also providing utility as a returner.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Won't make cut in Cleveland
Carter isn't expected to have a spot on the the Browns' 53-man roster, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran kick return specialist signed a one-year contract with Cleveland back in March, but he appears to have been beaten out for a roster spot by undrafted rookie Gage Larvadain. Carter may not be out of work for long after averaging 31.9 yards per kickoff return and 9.3 yards per punt return in 2024 over 13 regular-season games with the Bears, with his 637 total return yards ranking fifth in the NFL.
