From RB52 to RB120 through 1 game is a dip in pace, not a locked finish.

Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

358

Range 309–408

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Depth/upside bet — RB role isn't locked starter volume yet.

DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Quick answer

Watch

Carter ran for 7 yards and caught 1 pass in 2026, ranking RB120 through 1 game. He ranks RB120 through 1 game, down from RB52. Early, not a finished step down. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
