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
Impresses in Week 7
Carter recorded four total tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Carter played a season high 96 percent of the Eagles' defensive snaps in Week 7 and it led to his best performance of the season, sacking Daniel Jones in the second and third quarters of Sunday's win. The 2023 first-round pick out of Georgia has now tallied 14 total tackles, including 6.0 sacks, and three passes defended through Philadelphia's first six games. Expect Carter to continue serving as the Eagles' top interior defensive lineman as the team travels to Cincinnati in Week 8.

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.
