Fantasy Impact: Carter, the ninth overall pick in 2023, has become one of the league's best defensive tackles. Over his three seasons in Philadelphia, Carter has totaled 108 tackles, 25 tackles, and 13.5 sacks while earning All-Pro honors in 2024. He did miss a handful of games last season with procedures on both shoulders, but returned in Week 17 and had a sack in the Eagles' Divisional Round loss to the 49ers. Carter should again be one of the top defensive tackles in the league again in 2026.

Fantasy Impact: After breaking out in 2024, Smith suffered a bit of a down year last season as he finished with just 31 total tackles and three sacks in 12 games. His sophomore season in 2024, however, proved his ability with eight tackles for a loss and 6.5 sacks. He also led the Eagles to the Super Bowl title with four sacks during the Eagles' postseason run. Smith has 10.5 sacks in three seasons and, even with the addition of Jonathan Greenard, should be a key part of the defensive front in Philadelphia.
