DeAndre Carter Fantasy

Veteran free-agent wide receiver/kick returner DeAndre Carter agreed to an undisclosed deal with the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday. Carter spent the 2021 season with the Washington Commanders, returning 16 punts for 134 yards and 36 kickoffs for 904 yards and one touchdowns in 17 games (six starts). He also caught 24 of his 44 targets for 296 receiving yards and a career-high three touchdowns as the Commanders struggled for receiving help outside of Terry McLaurin. The 28-year-old should continue to return kicks in LA and will provide receiving depth behind Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, Jalen Guyton and Josh Palmer. Carter has only 58 career receptions for 682 yards and three touchdowns in four NFL seasons, so he won't have any fantasy value during draft season.

Free-agent wide receiver DeAndre Carter visited the Chicago Bears on Monday and the Los Angeles Chargers on Tuesday, according to Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network. The seven-year veteran spent 2021 with Washington, catching 24 passes for 296 yards and three touchdowns. Although he never had stable fantasy relevance, Carter played a key role in the offense when other wideouts suffered from injuries or slumps. He was also a valuable special-teamer, as he returned 36 kickoffs and 16 punts for a total of 1,038 yards.

Washington Football Team wide receiver DeAndre Carter will once again find himself in a significant role in the offense as Curtis Samuel (hamstring) has been ruled out, and Terry McLaurin (concussion) remains a question mark for Tuesday. Carter saw six targets in Week 14, which turned into two catches for 12 yards. From Week 8 to Week 11, he scored in three straight games and saw 15 targets over that span. We have seen him used in the run game as well, as he has been given six opportunities as a ball-carrier this season. The 28-year-old could have upside as a FLEX option in deeper leagues this week, even if McLaurin is active on Tuesday.
