Michael Carter Elevated to Cardinals' Lead Back with Knight Out

With RB Bam Knight suffering a 'bad' ankle sprain and likely out for Week 16, Michael Carter is set to lead the Arizona Cardinals' backfield. Emari Demercado will take on a change-of-pace role. Carter played 80% of snaps in Week 15, recording 94 scrimmage yards and four receptions on 18 touches. He is now a top waiver priority, projected as a viable RB2/RB3 for fantasy in Week 16 against the Falcons, given the Cardinals' favorable schedule.
