Jalen Carter faces a potential suspension or hefty fine after the season-opening incident, as the NFL signals zero tolerance for acts that demean the game. The league’s spring emphasis on sportsmanship and a broader crackdown on celebrations heighten the stakes for Philadelphia ahead of a Super Bowl rematch with Kansas City. A Monday decision looms, with Carter’s status and Eagles discipline in flux, while Ben VanSumeren’s injury delay and internal team handling add fantasy-relevant twists.

Fantasy managers should monitor Carter’s status and the Eagles’ defensive-line rotation closely. If Carter sits, expect increased snaps for veteran disruptors and opportunistic DLs, with the potential for a ripple effect across the Eagles’ IDP landscape and immediate matchup planning against the Chiefs.
