Week 9 vs. Buffalo Bills
With Breece Hall out for the season, Michael Carter made his debut as the No. 1 back with 11 touches 61 yards. He played 56% of the snaps which was lower than expected with newly acquired James Robinson just coming in. Carter will still be the No. 1 running back on the depth chart for the Jets for the time being.
Next up is Buffalo who is ranked 11th in aFPA to running backs. We expect New York to use Carter, Robinson and Ty Johnson at running back so how effective Carter can be is still up in the air.
Start Carter as a high-end RB3 or Flex for Week 9. He still should get the most snaps and touches, but if we see that shift to Robinson, that will tell us where Carter stands.
