Jalen Carter News
Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (ankle) has been officially ruled out for the Week 6 matchup against the New York Jets. This is a shame considering how well Carter has been playing this season. Carter picked up the ankle injury during practice, but head coach Nick Sirianni doesn't believe it's going to be a long term issue. It seems like the Eagles are taking the cautious approach here with their young tackle. In his absence, Fletcher Cox and Jordan Davis figure to handle a majority of the snaps at the tackle spot.
Philadelphia Eagles rookie defensive tackle Jalen Carter (ankle) and cornerback Darius Slay (knee) are both expected to miss the Week 6 game against the New York Jets. Carter is dealing with an ankle sprain that he suffered in practice this week, but it isn't considered serious, so he will likely be back in Week 7 in a showdown with the Miami Dolphins. Slay's injury isn't considered serious, either, so he should also have a chance to play next weekend against Miami. Carter leads the Eagles D in QB pressures (23), hurries (17) and sacks (3.5) in his first five NFL games. Slay is Philly's most important cornerback, so the Jets offense will be catching a break this weekend if both Carter and Slay are inactive. Still, fantasy managers should leave the Eagles defense/special teams unit in their starting lineups.
DT Jalen Carter and the Philadelphia Eagles face the league's most sack-prone quarterback, the Washington Commanders' Sam Howell, in Week 4. Howell has been sacked 19 times in three games, six more than any other quarterback. Last week, Howell was sacked nine times by the Buffalo Bills. Going back to Howell's first career start in Week 18 of last season, Howell has been sacked three or more times in each of the past four weeks. The Commanders' pass blocking is rated as mediocre by PFF, but Howell's sack tendency is also influenced by his high average time to throw and reluctance to get rid of the football. Howell is taking 2.9 seconds from snap to release on average, which is the ninth longest amongst starting quarterbacks. Carter and his teammates are strong starts in this favorable matchup.
