2026 Fantasy Outlook
Stowers was drafted 54th overall by the Eagles after a pair of productive years at Vanderbilt, during which he caught 111 passes for 1,407 yards and nine TDs. He set a new TE record at the NFL Scouting Combine with a 45.5-inch vertical jump, and his 4.51 40-yard dash was impressive even for an undersized tight end (6-foot-4, 239). He’s still rough around the edges after converting from QB to TE in college, but Stowers’ athleticism and instincts give him a higher long-term ceiling than most second-round prospects at tight. He should begin his career in a bench role behind 31-year-old Dallas Goedert, who is returning for a ninth season in Philadelphia on a one-year contract. Promising as the long-term outlook may be, Stowers' rookie-year fantasy value may largely depend on Goedert's health. Read Past Outlooks
Picked by Philadelphia
The Eagles selected Stowers in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 54th overall.
ANALYSIS
Stowers (6-foot-4, 239 pounds) began his college career as a distinguished quarterback recruit for Texas A&M but couldn't catch on at the position, leading to him converting to tight end. He would play tight end for New Mexico State (2023) and Vanderbilt (2024-2025), and he proved a quick study. By the time he transferred to the Commodores, it was clear that Stowers had standout natural pass-catching ability, both in the sense of ball skills and yardage after the catch. Though Stowers might not be a good blocker by tight end standards, his 4.51-second 40 at the combine is actually faster than fellow rookie and 20th overall Eagles draft pick Makai Lemon's 4.53-second pro day 40. With a 45.5-inch vertical jump and 135-inch broad jump to go with that speed, Stowers is highly athletic even by wide receiver standards. Although he can't play the same type of tight end as starter Dallas Goedert, it might be difficult for Philadelphia to keep Stowers off the field as time passes.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Visits with Broncos
Stowers had a visit with the Broncos on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Networkreports.
ANALYSIS
Stowers established himself as a likely early-round selection due to a standout showing at the combine, which supplemented strong production in his final two years at Vanderbilt. He's been linked to the Broncos in multiple mock drafts, and this visit will likely only further that speculation. Denver has the 62nd overall pick and has a need at tight end, making Stowers a potentially strong fit.
