Dexter Carter is a career quality starter — a running back whose body of work places Carter in the top quarter of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Carter's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A running back with a top 30% among starters — the kind of consistent contributor every roster needs. Solid availability (excellent availability over their career) added to their value.
Worth 51 points of value above a freely-available replacement running back — top 44% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 6 of 6 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +8.5 on average.See board →
