Summary

The media is predicting Michael Carter will remain the starter heading into camp, so he will have a chance to build on a decent rookie year which saw him have some success at times behind a poor offensive line with quarterbacks who allowed defenses to stack the box anytime they wanted to. That starting job leaves Carter in a position to provide some value for Fantasy GMs, but not a ton. He should be looked upon as a solid third running back you can plug in if need be in a pinch.
