The Facts:
Most fans are under the assumption second-round draft pick Dwayne Jarrett, the kid who made Keyshawn Johnson expendable, will be the starter opposite Smith. Not so fast. Carter has worked with the first team in both minicamps thus far and enters training camp ahead of Jarrett on the depth chart. So if Carter is to lose the starting job, it will be because Jarrett will have done something to earn it.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
After missing all of his rookie season in 2004 with a knee injury, Carter has shown steady improvement over the last two seasons leaving Carolina's front office buzzing with optimism over his long-term potential. But Gazette reporter Steve Reed reminded readers the numbers Carter puts up this year will largely depend on whether or not he starts. If he starts, he probably gets 50 to 60 snaps per game. If not, it's more like 15 to 30.
