Bengals' Barrett Carter: Surpasses 100 tackles in 2025
Carter notched 106 tackles (53 solo) and four passes defensed, including one interception, across 17 regular-season appearances in 2025.
Carter compiled impressive production for a rookie fourth-round pick, though the actual quality of his play left something to be desired. Though Carter earned an every-down role in defense as a rookie, it won't be surprising if he has to compete this offseason to retain a starting gig, unless he manages to take a substantial step forward in his development.

Bengals' Barrett Carter: Has dud game vs. Ravens
Carter recorded three tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 24-0 loss versus Baltimore.
Carter's tackle total in Week 15 was his lowest since Week 2, when he played zero defensive snaps versus Jacksonville. Granted, his 40 defensive snaps Sunday were the fewest he played since Week 5 versus the Lions (33). He'll look to bounce back in a Week 16 matchup at Miami.

Carter recorded seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 39-34 loss to the Bills.
Carter has played every defensive snap over the last eight games, producing 72 tackles (40 solo) and a pass breakup in the process. The rookie fourth-round pick should remain the starting middle linebacker for the rest of the season, making him an outstanding IDP option during the fantasy playoffs.

Bengals' Barrett Carter: Uneventful day in win
Carter recorded five tackles (three solo) during Thursday's 32-14 win at Baltimore.
In a game during which the normally run-heavy Ravens kept the ball in the air for most of the contest, Carter saw limited opportunities to make tackles in Week 13. He still projects as a good IDP option in most formats, and he'll get a shot against another run-heavy squad at Buffalo in Week 14.
