Lining up at safety
DeJean lined up at safety in Philadelphia's base defense on the first day of training camp, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
That's the ideal scenario for IDP value, with DeJean playing safety in the base defense and slot corner in nickel packages. The other options are to play him as an outside cornerback in the base defense -- opposite Quinyon Mitchell -- or to take DeJean off the field and only use him as a nickel. An every-down role with snaps at both safety and slot corner could help make DeJean an IDP star.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Eagles selected DeJean out of Iowa in the second round (40th overall) of the 2024 NFL Draft. He was considered a potential first-round talent, but a fractured fibula in November which cut short his final college season and caused him to skip the combine may have led to him slipping down the board. He was cleared for all football activities in early April and appears primed for a versatile role in Philadelphia's secondary, just like he had at Iowa, where he ended his college career with seven interceptions in 31 games.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Working at outside corner
DeJean worked at outside cornerback when the Eagles were in their base defense during offseason practices, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
DeJean had a strong rookie season in a part-time role while working almost exclusively in the slot. It's unclear if the Eagles will continue their experiment of playing him outside in training camp and the regular season, but the move would have a significant impact on the team's defensive alignment. Kelee Ringo would be relegated to a reserve role, while rookie Andrew Mukuba would reportedly be the top candidate to shift to the slot.
