Jalen Carter Fantasy Stats

The Philadelphia Eagles are signing two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jalen Carter to a four-year, $152 million extension on Tuesday that is worth up to $160 million, including $106 million guaranteed, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The deal makes Carter the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history, and he'll be under contract with the team through the 2031 season. The 25-year-old former ninth overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft from the University of Georgia has been a game-changing interior defensive lineman for the Eagles since he entered the league, and he has been named a Pro Bowler in each of the last two years. Carter had 33 tackles (21 solo), three sacks, 12 QB hits, and seven pass breakups in 11 regular-season starts in 2025, and he has a total of 108 tackles (66 solo), 13.5 sacks, 25 tackles for loss, 37 QB hits, 13 pass breakups, four forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown in 43 games (27 starts) in his three regular seasons with the Eagles.

The Philadelphia Eagles exercised the fifth-year option for defensive tackle Jalen Carter on Monday, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Carter will make roughly $27 million in 2027. The Eagles also picked up the fifth-year option on outside linebacker Nolan Smith for the 2027 season. Carter's fifth-year option was a no-brainer, as the 25-year-old former ninth overall selection out of Georgia in 2023 has been a Pro Bowler in each of the last two seasons. In his three seasons in Philly, Carter has a total of 108 tackles (66 solo), 13.5 sacks, 25 tackles for loss, 37 QB hits, and seven pass breakups in 43 games (27 starts) during the regular season. Carter played in a career-low 11 games last year, though, due to a few injuries and a suspension for spitting on Cowboys QB Dak Prescott. It led to a career-low three sacks in 2025. Carter is already becoming one of the best interior defensive linemen because of his abilities as both a pass-rusher and run-stopper.

The Philadelphia Eagles have received trade calls on defensive tackle Jalen Carter, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. The Eagles must decide if they want to give Carter a contract extension after already locking down defensive tackle Jordan Davis to an extension on Saturday. Carter, the former ninth overall pick in 2023 out of Georgia, has been a Pro Bowler in each of the last two seasons, so it's probably unlikely that the Eagles will be looking to trade him. The 24-year-old has 13.5 sacks in 43 games (27 starts) in his first three NFL seasons, although he did play in a career-low 11 regular-season games in 2025, finishing with a career-low three sacks. Carter has been an effective hog molly on the interior of Philly's defensive line, but he'll be expected to take another step forward in Year 4 if he's given a long-term contract extension.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (hip) injured his hip in Thursday's practice and has been ruled out for the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Washington Commanders. The Eagles already have a playoff spot locked up, so they will rest Carter and hope that he'll be ready to return for the wild-card round of the postseason next week. With the 24-year-old interior defensive lineman out this weekend, expect Ty Robinson to play an increased role on Philly's defensive line in a plus matchup against Washington third-string quarterback Josh Johnson. Even with Carter unable to play in Week 18, the Eagles' defense/special teams unit should be considered a top-10 fantasy unit in the final regular season game with the Commanders down to their third QB.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (shoulders) did not practice at all again this week and has been ruled out for Saturday's divisional game versus the Washington Commanders in Week 16, according to the team. Carter has not played for the Eagles since Week 13 after having surgery on both of his shoulders earlier this month. With the 24-year-old missing another game, Byron Young will continue to see more playing time on the interior of Philly's defensive line. Carter's absence is good news for the Commanders' ground game that should feature a split backfield on Saturday between Chris Rodriguez Jr. and rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt. The Eagles' defense is more vulnerable on the ground without Carter on the field, but their defense/special teams unit should still be considered a strong fantasy option this weekend.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (shoulders) could not practice at all this week and has officially been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15. Carter will miss his second straight game after having operations on both of his shoulders recently. It remains to be seen if the 24-year-old former ninth overall pick out of Georgia in 2023 will be able to return for the Eagles in Week 16 against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Carter's absence on the interior of Philly's defensive line is a downgrade for sure, but they shouldn't have much of a problem handling a bad Raiders offense that will be turning to backup quarterback Kenny Pickett this weekend with Geno Smith (shoulder, back) injured. With Carter out again for the Eagles, Byron Young will see more playing time. Philly's defense/special teams unit is a must-start in fantasy football.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (shoulders) will not play on Monday night in Week 14 against the hosting Los Angeles Chargers after undergoing a procedure on Monday on both of his shoulders, sources tell Adam Schefter of ESPN. Carter is undergoing treatment on both of his shoulders and will be considered week-to-week. The former ninth overall pick in 2023 wants to be as close to 100% as possible for a playoff run. Carter is not expected to go on Injured Reserve. The 24-year-old interior defensive lineman has recorded 32 tackles, two sacks, and six pass breakups in his 11 games played for Philly this year. With Carter out for potentially a couple of games, the Eagles will look for Byron Young to step up on their D-line. Carter's injury will be good news for a struggling Chargers' offensive line, although they could still have plenty of issues protecting quarterback Justin Herbert (hand) on Monday night.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (heel) is active for Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Paul Allen of KFAN1003. He had been listed as questionable after logging a pair of limited practices. The 24-year-old has played snaps in four games this season, not including when he was ejected in Week 1, and when he missed Week 6 due to injury. He has 10 tackles so far this season. Carter will return to action Sunday afternoon and provide a key boost to the Eagles as they look to slow down a surging Vikings squad.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (heel) is likely to be ready when his team plays the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The star defensive lineman missed Week 6 with the injury, but should be back for a Philly defense in search of a rebound following an ugly loss to the New York Giants. Minnesota will be without its starting center, Ryan Kelly (concussion), and possibly right tackle Brian O'Neill (knee), giving the Eagles a decent chance to disrupt an offense led by backup quarterback Carson Wentz.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (heel) has been ruled out for the Week 6 game on Thursday night against the division-rival New York Giants, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. With Carter sidelined, it will be a boost for the Giants' ground game and running backs Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. It's also a pretty big downgrade for the interior of Philly's defensive line, but their defense/special teams should still be considered a must-start on a short week against a New York offense with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart leading the offense in only his third NFL game. With the 24-year-old Carter out of action on Thursday, expect to see more of veteran Za'Darius Smith and Byron Young for the Eagles' defense at MetLife Stadium.
