Zack Baun was named a 2025 team captain for the Eagles after a breakout 2024 season that earned First-Team All-Pro honors and a Pro Bowl bid, culminating in a Super Bowl 59 win. He finished the regular season with 151 tackles, 11 for loss and five forced fumbles, then posted 33 tackles, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries in the playoffs before signing a three-year, $51 million extension.

Baun is one of eight Eagles to earn a captaincy in 2025 alongside Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, Reed Blankenship, Jake Elliott, Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata, with Saquon Barkley listed among league captains in coverage. The designation signals Philadelphia’s leadership core entering 2025 and adds intrigue for fantasy IDP managers amid a potent Eagles roster.

Philly opens the season against Dallas, and Baun’s elevated role could steady the defense and boost tackle and turnover upside in fantasy formats. While the offense remains prolific, Baun’s leadership presence suggests a reliable floor for the Eagles’ IDP pieces in 2025.
