News: 12 hours agoStowers failed to haul in his lone target during Monday's 38-21 loss to Dallas.

Spin: The rookie second-rounder was activated from injured reserve ahead of Monday's contest after missing the first six games of the regular season due to quad and hamstring injuries that he picked up during training camp. He played a total of 21 snaps (12 on offense, nine on special teams) in his NFL debut, but his lone target from Tanner McKee came within the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, when the game was well out of reach for Philadelphia. Stowers will likely be limited to TE3 duties behind Dallas Goedert and Johnny Mundt for the time being.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Stowers was selected by the Eagles in the second round of April's draft. Stowers is a converted quarterback who improved his production each of the last three seasons, peaking with a 62-769-4 receiving line in 2025. He aligned in the slot on 72% of his collegiate routes (highest among this rookie tight end class) and his career 2.38 YPRR is easily tops in this TE class. He's not much of a blocker, but he sports good speed and athleticism (he posted the best vertical and broad jumps among TEs at the combine). Stowers will have minimal fantasy value while working behind Dallas Goedert as a rookie, but he has long-term TE1 upside and will be a popular breakout candidate in 2027.
