Stowers

Stowers was targeted once. He’s now drawn five looks in three games since making his NFL debut in Week 7. With the Eagles now headed on bye, an adjustment upon their return could be more looks for their rookie seam man, especially/obviously if Dallas Goedert is traded ahead of Tuesday’s deadline. It is something to file away, but Stowers is still not a strong 12-team league stash ahead of the open date.

Stowers probably won’t have a fantasy-relevant role right away this week, but with Dallas Goedert an impending free agent and the Eagles struggling, it wouldn’t be stunning if Goedert were traded away to open up snaps at tight end. Stowers has yet to hit redraft league relevance but it could eventually come. The Eagles also activated Grant Calcaterra (back) from injured reserve.

Stowers is only notable because of his draft capital. The second-round rookie has not carved out a role for himself and would not be fantasy-relevant if the Eagles activate him from injured reserve.

Stowers had his 21-day practice window opened after he started the season on the injured reserve due to hamstring and quad injury. The Eagles also opened fellow TE Grant Calcaterra’s practice window; Calcaterra was also limited due to a back injury. Both have a chance to return Week 6 against the Panthers or Week 7 against the Cowboys.

Stowers entered his rookie season unlikely to contribute in a meaningful way but will now be forced to miss the next four games, at minimum, while on injured reserve, something that could stunt his growth at the professional level further. Dallas Goedert remains a locked-in TE1 in fantasy circles moving forward.

Stowers is listed as the Eagles’ co-TE3, so even if he is absent, that will not be a huge deal. The team is undoubtedly hoping he develops over the course of the season, so tracking his recovery is worthwhile. For now, though, TE Dallas Goedert is the clear-cut tight end to roster in Philadelphia.

Stowers had a rough training camp and has been sidelined since late August by the hamstring injury. He does not need to be rostered in 12-team leagues.

Stowers has been dealing with a hamstring injury he suffered in the preseason and he opens Week 1 with a limited practice. The 23-year-old rookie was already in line for a limited role this season after a subpar training camp but now may be limited even further with a soft tissue injury. Stowers is off fantasy radars in redraft leagues but his absence propels Dallas Goedert into borderline top-10 tight end territory.

Stowers missed his second straight practice Tuesday as he deals with a hamstring issue. There is no indication this is a major injury yet, but something to keep an eye on as the Eagles prepare for preseason Week 3. The rookie second-round pick has struggled in camp and comes into the NFL as a raw tight end prospect. Don’t expect the Eagles’ tight end rotation to change drastically should Stowers miss time in the 2026 regular season.

Stowers was somewhat involved in the first half but the rookie tight end had a long gain of just six yards in the first exhibition game of the season. The 23-year-old has significant long-term upside because of his athleticism, but it’s very clear — at least early on — that Stowers has work to do before he’s a fantasy option in 2026.
