Finds end zone in loss Carter caught three of six targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Broncos.
Impact The Washington passing game didn't have a whole lot of success on the afternoon, with running back J.D. McKissic being Taylor Heinicke's most effective option, but Carter led the wide receivers in yards and scored the team's only TD on a 20-yard grab in the third quarter. It was only the second time this season the 28-year-old has seen more than one target in a game this season, and Carter's role could shrink again coming out of a Week 9 bye if the likes of Curtis Samuel (groin) use the extra time off to get healthy.

Productive in Sunday's loss Carter caught four of eight targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 33-22 loss to the Saints, He also gained 11 yards on his lone carry.
Impact Pressed into a larger role in the offense with Dyami Brown (knee) and Cam Sims (hamstring) both out of action, Carter became even more important for Washington when Curtis Samuel left the game with a groin injury. Carter came into the week with only one catch on the year, but he could be poised for another productive effort in Week 6 against Kansas City.

Could see bump in playing time Coach Ron Rivera said Carter will get more playing time on offense Sunday against the Saints, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The absences of Dyami Brown (knee) and Cam Sims (hamstring), coupled with uncertainty over the health of Curtis Samuel (groin), should open up more opportunities for Carter behind Terry McLaurin and Adam Humphries. Though Carter has previously struggled to make much of an impact in the NFL, he's off to a strong start this season in a special teams capacity, as he was named NFC special teams player of the week after scoring a 101-yard kickoff return touchdown against the Falcons. Now, the 28-year-old wide receiver could get more opportunities to utilize his shiftiness on offense while still maintaining a prominent special teams role.

His highlight play came on the opening kick return of the second half, which he converted into a 101 yard return and score. On the season, Carter is averaging 27.8 yards per kick return and 9.3 yards per punt return.

Battling for depth spot Carter is in the mix for a roster spot, according to John Keim of ESPN.com.
Impact Washington appears to have open competition for the third through fifth/sixth spots at wide receiver, with Carter joined by Adam Humphries, Dyami Brown, Cam Sims, Steven Sims, Kelvin Harmon, Antonio Gandy-Golden and Isaiah Wright. It's a deep group -- one where nearly anyone could win the No. 3 job, and anyone besides Brown (a rookie third-round pick) could be released. Carter probably wouldn't make the cut on his wideout credentials alone, but his ability to return punts and kicks could put him over the top.
