Stowers' path to Fantasy relevancy figures to be a slow, winding road until Dallas Goedert isn't on the Eagles. That could happen as soon as 2027, or if Goedert misses time in 2026. Either way, it keeps Stowers from being a good pick in redraft leagues, but he'll be a popular pick in early Round 2 in rookie-only drafts. The nearly 6-foot-4, 239-pounder has very good quickness for a big man, with very good hands and a big catch radius. He just isn't a physical player, which could limit his playing time unless he proves to be too big a matchup problem for opponents. Expect solid stats from Stowers soon after his first season.

Eagles' Eli Stowers: Three catches in preseason loss
Rotowire
Stowers brought in all three targets for 12 yards in the Eagles' 24-7 preseason loss to the Ravens on Saturday.
The rookie second-round pick took advantage of all three opportunities he saw, leading to a solid professional debut. Stowers is currently listed as the No. 2 tight end on the Eagles' first unofficial depth chart, and Saturday's performance seemingly did nothing to hurt that standing.

Eagles' Eli Stowers: Returns healthy for camp
Rotowire
Stowers (lower body) is practicing at the first week of training camp, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
The rookie second-round pick missed a few spring practices with an unspecified lower body injury. Now healthy, Stowers will have the next few weeks to make his case for a role in Philadelphia's offense. Dallas Goedert returns as the starter and has a long track record of handling huge snap shares.

Eagles' Eli Stowers: Dealing with minor injury?
Rotowire
Stowers appears to have a lower-body injury and isn't doing much at Wednesday's practice, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
The rookie second-round pick has a sleeve over his right leg and reportedly hasn't been doing much this week. Philadelphia's first-round pick, WR Makai Lemon, has also been absent from recent practices, nursing a hamstring injury that doesn't sound overly severe. Stowers' issue doesn't sound serious either, but it's possible he'll be limited for these last few practices before the Eagles break for the summer. Nothing at this stage hints at doubt about his availability for the start of training camp in late July. The concern for Stowers' fantasy value is Dallas Goedert's continued presence in Philadelphia, not a minor injury during OTAs.
