Carter caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 17-15 win over the Raiders, playing 49 of 67 snaps (73 percent) on offense.
It was Carter's fourth start in the past five games, with a snap share in the 67-75 percent range in all five. Curtis Samuel has returned in a limited role, but that hasn't impacted Carter's snap or route shares. Even so, the journeyman speedster nonetheless came up short in the production department Sunday after catching 12 of 20 targets for 171 yards and three TDs over the past four games. Carter's likely done enough to keep his spot for Week 14 against Dallas, but another quiet outing could have him looking over his shoulder at Samuel or third-round rookie Dyami Brown.
