Michael CarterRB

Available in nearly every league as a waiver wire target. When Bam Knight left with injury, Carter posted 78% backfield carry share and 10% target share, including the only carry inside the 10-yard line. Despite not being a great player historically (including his Jets tenure), this role makes him a startable option in fantasy playoffs. Week 16 matchup vs. Atlanta is neutral; Week 17 vs. Cincinnati. Blake Corman recommends emptying the waiver wire priority on Carter if he fits your lineup needs.
