Impact Across the Red Raiders' last three games, Carter logged his 2025's highest and second-highest number of receptions, 10 and nine respectively. They ensure that his 2025 season finishes with 55 catches, his career-high. Carter also recorded 624 yards and five touchdowns.

Tallies team-high 11 targets Carter tallied 10 receptions (on 11 targets) for 98 yards during Saturday's 49-0 victory versus West Virginia.

Impact Carter logged a team-high 11 targets, most of that production coming in the first half as Texas Tech entered the locker room up 28-0. He's been one of the most productive tight ends in the country with 43 catches (on 61 targets) for 530 yards and five touchdowns. He'll certainly be part of the game plan when Texas Tech plays BYU in the Big 12 Championship Game next week.

Quiet game against UCF Carter tallied two receptions (on three targets) for 13 yards during Saturday's 48-9 win versus UCF.

Impact Carter registered just 13 yards as the game was a blowout with Texas Tech up 38-2 at halftime. Many of the starters rested in the second half. It's worth noting that Carter did also log his first rushing play of the year which went for 12 yards. Texas Tech is on a bye next week before finishing the regular season at West Virginia in Week 14.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Four catches in back-to-back games Carter gathered in 4 of 6 targets for 41 yards during Saturday's 29-7 victory against Brigham Young.

Impact Carter has recorded four catches in back-to-back games for the Red Raiders. Texas Tech leaned heavily on their run-game and special teams as they cruised to a victory over the previously undefeated Cougars. Carter has been one of the more impressive tight ends in the country with 31 catches (on 47 targets) for 419 yards and five touchdowns. It's worth noting his last touchdown did come against Kansas in Week 7. He'll look to get back to paydirt against Central Florida next week.

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back from injury with four catches Carter caught 4 of 5 targets for 81 yards during Saturday's 43-20 victory over Kansas State.

Impact Carter returned from an undisclosed injury to record four catches, the most catches he's had since Week 4 at Utah. Carter has received at least five targets in five of eight games this year. From a matchup perspective, he's one of the best tight ends in the country with 27 catches (on 41 targets) for 378 yards and five touchdowns. Carter will be an impact player when the Red Raiders host BYU next week.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Saturday Carter is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's game at Kansas State.

Impact Carter, who was listed as probable during the week, will be available for Saturday's road contest. He missed last week's contest after being forced out of Week 8 with an undisclosed injury. He's caught five touchdowns so far this season, so he will be a threat to the Wildcats' defense now that he's healthy.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Probable Saturday Carter (undisclosed) is probable for Saturday's game at Kansas State, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Carter, who missed Week 9 due to an undisclosed injury, looks set to return to the field Saturday. He has caught 23 passes for 297 yards and five touchdowns so far this season, so he should be involved if he suits up.

OCTOBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing in Week 9 Carter (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against Oklahoma State.

Impact Carter was initially listed as doubtful to play Saturday, so it's not surprising to see him get ruled out here. His next chance to suit up will come against Kansas State on Nov. 1.

OCTOBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Saturday Carter (undisclosed) is doubtful for Saturday's game versus Oklahoma State, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Given Carter was carted off the field in last Saturday's loss to Arizona State, the fact that he's unlikely to play in Week 9 is not surprising. However, it is probably good news that he's not been ruled out, indicating the injury may not be serious enough to cost him the rest of the season.

Carted off field Saturday Carter was carted off the field in Saturday's contest against Arizona State due to an undisclosed injury, according to RedRaiderSports.com.

Impact The extent and severity of the injury are uncertain, but if Carter was carted off the field, it wouldn't be surprising if he doesn't return. If that's the case, expect Johncarlos Miller and Jason Llewellyn to see more snaps at TE. Carter didn't record a single stat before departing the contest Saturday.

Hauls in fifth TD vs. Kansas Carter had three receptions (on eight targets) for 28 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-17 win over Kansas.

Impact Carter nabbed his fifth touchdown of the season as Texas Tech dominated the Jayhawks. They didn't need to throw the ball a ton as they had 40 carries for 372 yards and four touchdowns in the ground game. It's worth noting that starter Behren Morton left with an undisclosed injury which paved the way for Will Hammond. Carter's touchdown came from Morton before the injury. Hammond is more of a dual-threat quarterback which could impact the number of opportunities that Carter gets if he does get the starting job. Texas Tech will play at Arizona State next week.

Three catches at Houston Carter posted three receptions (on five targets) for 26 yards during Saturday's 35-11 victory over Houston.

Impact Carter entered the game with an undisclosed injury, so it was a positive to see him have an impact at Houston. Over the last three games, he's been extremely productive with 16 catches (on 22 targets) for 177 yards and two touchdowns. That's elite volume at the position and he's a strong consideration against Kansas next week.

OCTOBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available vs. Houston Carter (undisclosed) is available ahead of Texas Tech's clash with Houston.

Impact Carter has been a big part of this Red Raiders' elite passing game, reeling in 17 catches for 243 yards and four touchdowns through four games. The tight end popped up on Texas Tech's injury report earlier in the week with a probable tag and will indeed be good to go. His loss would've been a big absence for the Red Raiders, but their offense appears to be largely healthy versus the Cougars.

OCTOBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Week 6 Carter (undisclosed) is probable for Saturday's game at Houston.

Impact It seems an undisclosed problem has affected Carter going into Texas Tech's October opener. For his supporters, there is at least some solace knowing that the problem looks minor, as a probable tag suggests. With 60-plus receiving yards and a touchdown averaged per game this season, Carter will want to continue his strong momentum at Houston.

OCTOBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Team-high 10 targets in big win Carter gathered in 7 of 10 targets for 49 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 34-10 win against Utah.

Impact Carter led all Red Raiders in targets against the Utes with a season-high 10 opportunities going his way. The matchup nightmare has a touchdown in three of four games this year. In his last two contests, Carter has been dominant with 13 catches (on 16 targets) for 151 yards and two touchdowns. Unfortunately for fantasy rosters, they're going to need to find a replacement next week because the Red Raiders are on a bye. Carter will be back to terrorizing defenses when Texas Tech plays at Houston in Week 6.

Good to go for Big Noon Carter (undisclosed) is off Texas Tech's injury report ahead of a huge showdown against Utah.

Impact Carter is off to a great start in 2025 with 10 catches for 194 yards and three touchdowns, and he's coming off a fantastic performance against Oregon State last week in which he reeled in all six targets for 102 yards and a score. His availability is significant for the Red Raiders' offense against Utah in a big-time Big 12 clash at high noon.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Probable to face Utah Carter (undisclosed) is probable to face Utah on Saturday.

Impact Carter gathered in all six targets for 102 yards and one touchdown during the Week 3 win over Oregon State, and while the probable tag puts some doubt over his status, he should be available to suit up with no problems. Carter has been excellent for Texas Tech this season with 10 catches (on 11 targets) for 194 yards and three scores in three appearances this season.
