Philadelphia Eagles — 2026 Fantasy Outlook

The case for drafting him

Philadelphia has been one of the more consistent pass-rushing units in the league over the past three seasons, averaging 42 sacks per year from 2023 through 2025. The takeaway production backs that up: 11.3 interceptions and 10 fumble recoveries per season over that same stretch, with 16.7 forced fumbles annually creating the opportunities. The 2024 season showed the ceiling on the turnover side, with 13 interceptions and 13 fumble recoveries in a single year. Points allowed dropped from 428 in 2023 to 303 in 2024 before settling at 325 in 2025, and the 2025 season included a shutout. Three defensive touchdowns over the last three years round out a unit that contributes across every scoring category.

What the model projects

The projection is 135.5 half-PPR fantasy points for 2026. The draft value sits at -10.3, which places Philadelphia below replacement level at the DST position in a 12-team half-PPR format. That produces a ranking of DST7 at the position and #99 overall, landing in Tier 9. The bye week falls on Week 10.

The range of outcomes

The three-year history illustrates how wide DST variance can run. Points allowed swung from 303 to 428 across the sample. The distribution of game-by-game scoring tells the story: in 2023, Philadelphia allowed 35 or more points twice and 28-34 five times; in 2024, those high-scoring games for opponents nearly disappeared, with only one 35-plus game and two in the 28-34 range. In 2025, the unit allowed 21-27 points in eight games, a concentration in the middle tier that kept the floor reasonable without producing many dominant fantasy weeks. Sack totals have been stable at 41-43 across all three seasons, so the pass-rush floor is real. The upside scenario looks like 2024: high interception and fumble recovery totals, low points allowed, and consistent weekly scoring. The downside looks like 2023: a leaky points-against number that suppresses fantasy value regardless of the turnover and sack production.

How to draft him

Philadelphia is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to carry a market ADP, so there is no pick cost to plan around. At DST7 and #99 overall with a negative draft value, this is a late-round or streaming-tier option in a standard 12-team half-PPR draft. The bye on Week 10 is worth noting for roster planning. If the sack and turnover floors from the three-year history appeal to you, Philadelphia is a reasonable late selection, but the projection and draft value both reflect a unit that is expected to finish below replacement level at the position.

Very consistent on the pass rush: 43, 41, and 42 sacks in 2023, 2024, and 2025 respectively, for a three-year average of exactly 42. Interceptions averaged 11.3 per season and forced fumbles averaged 16.7. The volatility shows up in points allowed, which ranged from 303 to 428 across the three seasons.

The projection is 135.5 half-PPR fantasy points. That ranks Philadelphia DST7 at the position and #99 overall, with a draft value of -10.3, placing them in Tier 9.

Philadelphia does not have a market ADP, meaning the unit is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to establish one. There is no specific pick cost to plan around, which puts them in streaming or deep-late-round territory in a 12-team draft.

In 2024, their best recent season, Philadelphia held opponents to 13 or fewer points in four games and allowed 20 or fewer in 12 of their games, with only one 35-plus blowup. In 2025, eight games fell in the 21-27 range, which is a middle-of-the-road outcome for DST fantasy scoring. In 2023, five games in the 28-34 range and two at 35-plus dragged the floor down considerably. The range is real and worth accounting for.
