2025 Fantasy Outlook
Even with the depth of the Eagles' defense, Carter emerged as a near every-down player in 2024. He lined up primarily as a defensive tackle and his biggest impact was the ability to draw double teams to free up other key pass rushers such as Josh Sweat, Milton Williams and Nolan Smith. That isn't to say he didn't make a statistical impact of his own, increasing his total tackles and quarterback pressures (jump from 50 to 75, per PFF) relative to his rookie season. Given his fit in Philadelphia's scheme, it's fair to question whether Carter's fantasy impact will ever match that of his impact on the field. However, his ability to get to the quarterback suggests there's more sack production in his future. Read Past Outlooks

The Eagles have ruled out Carter (shoulder) for Week 14.
ANALYSIS
Carter did not participate in practice this week after undergoing procedures on both of his shoulders Monday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. He also reported the third-year pro is currently considered week-to-week and is expected to be ready in time for a possible playoff run. The 24-year-old has 32 tackles (20 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and six pass defenses. Byron Young figures to benefit from Carter's absence, along with defensive tackles Jordan Davis and Moro Ojomo.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Carter fell to ninth in the 2023 NFL Draft, where the Eagles were happy to add him to their group of young Georgia defenders. He started just a single game as a rookie but had a significant enough rotation role (48 percent of defensive snaps) to show off his talent, finishing second in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting. Carter was third on the team in sacks (6.0) and third in tackles for a loss (eight), adding 33 total tackles, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery that he returned for a touchdown. His importance to the Eagles should grow in his second season with Fletcher Cox retired and 35-year-old Brandon Graham's role likely to shrink.
Carter slipped on draft day in part due to a Jan. 15 incident that resulted in charges of reckless driving, but his ability between the lines isn't in doubt. The Eagles traded up to select him at the No. 9 spot, creating a potential defensive tackle tandem of the future with former Georgia teammate Jordan Davis. Assuming Carter's off-field issues don't prevent him from making the most of his talent, he should spend plenty of time in NFL backfields just as he did in college, though Davis and Fletcher Cox make for stiff competition for snaps.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Asked to improve conditioning
DTPhiladelphia Eagles
September 16, 2025
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Carter needs to improve his conditioning, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Carter played 79 percent of the defensive snaps in Philadelphia's Week 2 win over Kansas City, so his stamina appears to be fine from that perspective. Even so, Fangio said both he and Carter have identified the need for the defensive tackle to get into better shape. It's been an odd start to the season for Carter, as he missed portions of training camp with a shoulder injury and was ejected before playing a snap in Week 1.
