Carter Limited by Game Script, Maintains Pass-Catching Role

Cardinals RB Michael Carter carried the ball seven times for 29 yards and caught two of four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Bengals. Game script was not in his favor as the Cardinals trailed significantly. However, he caught multiple passes for the sixth time in seven games, a stretch where he's accumulated 214 rushing yards (4.6 YPC) and a 21-169-0 receiving line. With little on the line but draft positioning, Carter could remain the starter in Week 18 against the Rams.
