Jalen Carter spat at Dak Prescott seconds into the Eagles-Cowboys game, was ejected, and offered a remorseful postgame apology. Carter’s past legal trouble and a helmet-slap incident with Connor Heyward color the fallout. Prescott called the moment surprising and said he didn’t instigate it, while Lane Johnson backed Carter and framed the incident as a teachable moment. A likely fine or suspension looms as Philadelphia navigates the PR and roster implications.

Fantasy-wise, Carter’s availability and discipline could reshape Philadelphia’s defensive ceiling, while Prescott and the Cowboys’ line may respond to the fallout with lineup and rhythm adjustments. The episode also underscores how off-field drama can ripple through rosters and fantasy projections, especially for a young star trying to establish consistency.
