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
RANKS
Signed a one-year contract with the Browns in March of 2025.
Won't return Sunday
Carter (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Carter went to the locker room in the first quarter after taking a hit to the head and has been diagnosed with a concussion. He is now in the league's concussion protocol, which he will have to clear in order to play against the Packers in Week 3. Isaiah Bond fielded a punt return in the first quarter and figures to serve as the Browns' returner on special teams for the rest of Sunday's game in Carter's absence.

2015
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.
