News: 1 day agoStowers (quadriceps), who is on injured reserve, is officially questionable to play Monday against Dallas.

Spin: After being drafted in the second round of April's NFL Draft, Stowers hurt his hamstring during preseason play and began the campaign on IR. The Eagles opened his 21-day practice window Oct. 14, and the rookie practiced in full all three days this week. Both Stowers and fellow tight end Grant Calcaterra (back) could be ready to return from IR ahead of Monday's matchup, but for that to happen, they'd need to be activated to the 53-man roster at some point this weekend.

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.
