The Eagles placed TE Eli Stowers on IR, knocking him out for the first four games of the season. Stowers struggled as a blocker and was quiet as a receiver early in camp and then injured his hamstring in late August. He already looked like a long shot for 2026 fantasy value before landing on IR.

2026 is shaping up as a redshirt year for Stowers, who could use the seasoning as a former QB who didn't make the move to TE until 2023. He's not worth rostering in any redraft leagues.
While it would have been nice to see Stowers more ready to make an immediate impact, his dynasty ceiling remains intact. The 6'4, 239-pounder earned a 94th percentile Relative Athletic Score after racking up 1,407 yards over his final two college seasons.
Stowers could be a buy-low target right now, especially for rebuilding dynasty teams.
