Arizona Cardinals RB Michael Carter rushed three times for four yards in a 44-22 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 10.
Huddle Up: Carter had a minor role after being elevated from the practice squad, but with Bam Knight suffering an ankle injury, Carter could be thrust into a bigger role moving forward. If Knight and Trey Benson are both sidelined, Carter would likely split time with Emari Demercado. In deeper leagues, Carter could be worth snatching up ahead of Week 11.

Arizona Cardinals practice squad RB Michael Carter was signed to the 53-man roster Saturday, Nov. 8. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Arizona Cardinals RB Michael Carter did not play any snaps on offense or special teams in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday, Nov. 3. He has been moved back to the practice squad.
Huddle Up: Carter was reportedly taking first-team snaps in practice Thursday and Friday, but apparently that was gamesmanship by head coach Jonathan Gannon, as Carter didn't sniff the field, with Emari Demercado and Bam Knight handling the backfield duties. With Trey Benson nearing a return, if you rolled the dice on Carter for a fantasy roster space, cut bait immediately.

Arizona Cardinals practice squad Michael Carter was elevated to the active roster Monday, Nov. 3, and will be available for the Week 9 game.
Huddle Up: Carter will likely see some work behind Bam Knight but can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.

Arizona Cardinals RB Bam Knight will be the "first one out there" at running back in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday, Oct. 3, head coach Jonathan Gannon said Saturday. However, it appears it will be a hot-hand approach, with RB Michael Carter expected to be promoted from the practice squad, and RB Emari Demercado returning from injury.
Huddle Up: There were reports Carter was taking the first-team reps in practice Thursday and Friday, so there could be a little gamesmanship going on. It might be best to treat Knight and Carter as low-end RB3 or flex fantasy options, while ignoring Demercado for now. Also, don't sink a lot of FAAB money into Carter or Knight, as Trey Benson is eligible to return from the Reserve/Injured list, so this whole situation is likely to change again in the next week or two.

Arizona Cardinals RB Michael Carter was reportedly the first running back working with the starters Thursday and Friday in practice despite being on the practice squad. He might be promoted for the Week 9 game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Huddle Up: Carter could be a sneaky fantasy addition this week. Bam Knight was believed to be the guy, but Carter has reportedly been working ahead of him in the most important practices of the week. Against the leaky defense of the Cowboys, Carter could be a nice RB3 or flex fantasy option, and a strong DFS play on Monday Night Football.

Free agent RB Michael Carter was signed to the practice squad on Tuesday, Oct. 28, one day after being released.
Huddle Up: When James Conner went down with an injury, Carter got a chance to replace him, but he has fallen behind Bam Knight, Emari Demercado and Trey Benson in the pecking order. Carter leads the team with 35 carries but for 97 yards and one touchdown.

Arizona Cardinals RB Michael Carter was released Monday, Oct. 27.
Huddle Up: Bam Knight should receive most of the work at running back until Trey Benson returns to the lineup. He is averaging 34 rushing yards over the last three games but does have two rushing touchdowns during that span. He will see a good amount of touches in Week 9 and can be a flex option in most fantasy leagues. Emari Demercado should also see a handful of touches if healthy but can be avoided in fantasy leagues.

Arizona Cardinals RB Michael Carter rushed seven times for 11 yards in Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers, while adding two receptions and 25 yards on two targets.
Huddle Up: Carter had a third of the backfield carries, averaging just 1.6 yards per carry (YPC), while Bam Knight had 14 carries with 4.1 YPC. Carter might get a chance at a complementary role in Week 9 after the bye, but he is only worth fantasy consideration in deeper leagues at this point.

Arizona Cardinals RB Michael Carter ran 9 times for 34 yards and caught two passes for 30 yards in a 31-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6.
Huddle Up: Carter led Arizona backs with 18 carries in Week 5 (52 yards), but he had two fewer totes than Bam Knight in this contest. Until he can separate himself from Knight, he'll have limited value in all fantasy leagues unless desperate for an injury replacement.
