2025 Fantasy Outlook
Carter is arguably the best nickel cornerback in the NFL when healthy, but his box score stats were quiet in 2024, as he posted only one pass defensed and 24 tackles in 13 games while playing through a back injury. In the three preceding seasons, Carter averaged 7.7 passes defensed and 61.7 tackles. Carter's poised to bounce back if healthy under the Jets' new coaching staff. Read Past Outlooks

Signed a three-year, $30.75 million contract with the Jets in September of 2024. Traded to the Eagles in October of 2025.
Traded to Philadelphia
The Jets traded Carter and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Eagles in exchange for wide receiver John Metchie and a 2027 sixth-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Carter's addition gives the Eagles more depth in the secondary, and the 2021 fifth-rounder could be thrust into a meaningful role against the Packers on Monday if Adoree' Jackson (concussion) is not cleared to play. Carter started in the first four games of the regular season before sustaining a concussion of his own and logged 13 tackles (nine solo) and two pass defenses over that span. He was cleared to return for the Jets' Week 8 win over the Bengals, though he did not start and played just 13 snaps (six on defense, seven on special teams) while logging one tackle.

2021
Carter has developed into one of the top slot cornerbacks in the NFL, posting nine passes defensed in each of the last two seasons. The 2021 fifth-round draft pick heads into the final year of his rookie contract as a member of arguably the league's best cornerback room, with Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed starting on the outside.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Most likely Jet to be dealt
Carter could be the most realistic player to be traded by the Jets prior to the deadline, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Carter is only 26 years old and is under contract through the 2027 campaign, so he's a viable part of the future core. However, he's struggled in coverage this season, allowing 13.7 yards per reception and a 99.2 QB rating when targeted, per PFF. The Jets also acquired Jarvis Brownlee from the Titans earlier in the year, who could be a cheaper alternative to Carter. Despite the down season, Carter is drawing interest from teams like the Eagles and Falcons.
