Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith will remain anchors of Philadelphia's defensive line through at least 2027 after the Eagles picked up their fifth-year options. Both were first-round picks expected to be core pieces of the franchise's pass rush and interior defense for years to come.
Fantasy Impact: NEUTRAL
These roster moves have minimal dynasty fantasy impact as both defensive linemen remain mid-tier streaming options at best in most fantasy formats. Monitor the Eagles' overall defensive improvement in 2026 as it could enhance offensive game scripts for **Saquon Barkley** and **A.J. Brown**, but Carter and Smith themselves offer limited direct fantasy value.
