Jets RB Michael Carter drew 10 carries to rookie Breece Hall's 6 in Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Ravens. Carter outperformed Hall on the ground, averaging 6.0 yards per rush to Hall's 3.8. Hall edged Carter 10-9 in targets, but Carter led the team with 7 receptions for 40 yards. Hall caught 6 for 38. We'll be watching this split all season, but Carter certainly gave no reason in Week 1 for the team to decrease his role.
