Carter will compete with Tyler Goodson and Cash Jones for the Falcons' No. 3 running back spot during training camp, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.
Carter handled a depth role last season, gaining 60 yards on nine carries across seven regular-season appearances while also playing 49 snaps on special teams. Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson are locked into the top two backfield roles, so Carter's path to the roster likely depends on how much special-teams value he's able to provide. Even if he wins the No. 3 job, Carter won't have a path to fantasy relevance as long as Atlanta's top two running backs remain healthy.
