The Eagles and Chiefs square off again with defensive chess at the forefront. Jalen Carter returns to anchor Philadelphia’s interior, while Jordan Davis threads the run game and frees space for a revamped pass rush. Za'Darius Smith slanks in off the edge alongside Nolan Smith/Jalyx Hunt and the rookie duo Baun-Campbell to pressure Patrick Mahomes and chase big plays from Kelce.

The secondary faces a stern test as Adoree' Jackson starts and Jakorian Bennett brings fresh depth. Rashee Rice is out, Xavier Worthy is banged up, and Andrew Mukuba logged heavy snaps in the opener, setting the stage for a strategic day of containment and opportunistic plays in big-game reps.

Key mismatches, game plans, and the rotation will define fantasy angles at each defensive spot, from interior disruptors to edge theatrics and secondary misdirections, all shaping the Sunday narrative.
