Stowers is best left for dynasty fantasy leagues
I argued Stowers should drop 10ish pounds and convert to receiver. It sounds like that's not what is going to happen with Stowers, who joins one of the worst blocking TE rooms in the NFL. The Eagles use multiple tight ends but were awful blocking out of it last year with Grant Calcaterra. That's Stowers primary competition for snaps while he develops in 2026. Both Calcaterra and Dallas Goedert are on expiring contracts, however, so Stowers' path to snaps opens up after his rookie season. It's possible he gets stronger and more technical by then. In the mean time, Stowers is going to struggle to get onto the field most likely. Goedert is very effective as a split TE in the receiving game, and both DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon will be set up for designed targets out of the slot already. Stowers should get some jump balls and some designed targets himself if he's the TE3 on game day, but that translating into fantasy points this year seems low. Remember, this is one of the lowest receiving TD teams in the red zone annually.
