I was under the impression that carrying is to prevent fumbles.

Is there more to it then that? Why have some put so much into it?

Carrying helps with maintaining possession of the ball just after a catch is made. If you watch replays, you'll notice the receiver occasionally bobbles the ball. This is also presumed to be the point at which the Jackhammer VA takes effect.

you are right I have noticed this a lot with my guy. He makes the catch but seems to bobble it at times. This gives the defender time to get to him and it really cuts down on his YAC.


What would be a good number for carry then?

It's plays like these that really show my WR needs carrying:

That should've been an easy catch and run for a TD, but no, my WR bobbles it and it's deflected.

Many people underestimate carrying for RB too.
Most of the performant RBs have a high carrying (at least 2nd capped).
Some people say that it helps elusive backs use SAs/make moves too.

I'm wondering if this is working too for speedster WRs and their dedicated SAs tree.

WRs don't underestimate carrying, we just can't afford to take it.

Yeah I know.
I never spent any sp in it but I trained it regulary and my player has nearly 42.

I know what to do with my next sps but I'm just wondering how powerful is carrying.
