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.

Carter notched five tackles (one solo) and two defensed passes, including an interception, Sunday in a 45-21 victory over the Dolphins.
Carter tied for second on Cincinnati in tackles in the victory. He was responsible for Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers' first career interception, picking off the fellow rookie in the third quarter. That interception was also Carter's first as a pro.

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.

Bengals' Barrett Carter: Up to 90 tackles
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.

Bengals' Barrett Carter: Monster outing in loss
Carter recorded 16 total tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Patriots.
Carter led the Bengals' defense in total tackles Sunday and has now logged double-digit stops in four of the team's last six games. The 2025 fifth-round pick from Clemson has impressed through his first 11 NFL games, recording 78 total tackles and one pass defensed across 484 defensive snaps. He's expected to remain the Bengals' top tacker in the Week 13 matchup against the Ravens.

Bengals' Barrett Carter: Minimal production against Steelers
Carter recorded four tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 34-12 loss to the Steelers.

Bengals' Barrett Carter: Double-digit tackles in loss
Carter recorded 10 tackles (five solo) and one pass breakup in the Bengals' loss to the Bears on Sunday.
Carter has taken over as an every-down linebacker in Cincinnati, and the Bengals' trade of Logan Wilson to the Cowboys on Tuesday cemented his standing as a starter in the middle of the defense. Carter has started each of the last four games and has played all 270 defensive snaps in that span. He's recorded double-digit tackles in three of the four contests and is now up to 58 tackles (32 solo) and one pass breakup on 355 defensive snaps this season. Carter should remain a tackling machine moving forward.
