Philadelphia Eagles
2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

January 20, 2024
Carter finished his rookie year with 6.0 sacks, 33 tackles, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery (which he returned for a touchdown) in 16 regular-season games.
ANALYSIS
He may have started just one game and played a modest 51 percent of the Eagles' defensive snaps, but the ninth overall pick in the 2023 Draft made the most of his opportunities to stake a strong claim for Defensive Rookie of the Year. His sack total ranked third on the Eagles and fifth among all rookies.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
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.
