Michael Carter rushed nine times for 34 yards in the Cardinals’ Week 6 loss to the Colts, adding two catches for 30 yards.
After a workhorse role last week, Carter ceded much of his lead back touches to Bam Knight against the Colts. He saw the first backfield touch of the game, but the goal line snaps went to Knight, who scored the touchdown. Carter had one less touch and five less snaps than Knight in a near-even split on the day. Though he is splitting early-down work, the good news is Carter looks to be the passing-down back with Emari Demercado (ankle) hurt. The Cardinals backfield is going to be a frustrating committee moving forward and Carter has fantasy RB3 upside for Week 7 against the Packers.
