Michael CarterRB

Not a great player or add on his own, but becomes a must-start if Bam Knight goes down and the Cardinals backfield is depleted to a fourth-string running back. Posted 11.4 PPR points against Tampa Bay but was ineffective against the Rams; worth owning as a deep handcuff contingency.
