Eli Stowers — 2026 Fantasy Outlook

The case for drafting him

Eli Stowers is a tight end on Philadelphia's roster with a bye in Week 10. At this stage of a draft, rosters are deep and streamers are plentiful, so a drafter building a deep bench might carry him as a speculative stash. That is the full extent of the case — the numbers do not build beyond it.

What the model projects

The projection for Stowers is 47.2 half-PPR fantasy points on the season. His draft value sits at -64.7, meaning he projects well below replacement level at the tight end position. He ranks TE39 at his position and #256 overall, placing him in Tier 9 on the board.

The range of outcomes

No simulated-season band data is available for Stowers in FACTS, so the full percentile spread cannot be reported here. What the headline numbers do communicate is that the projection is low and the value-over-replacement figure is deeply negative. The upside case would require a significant departure from what the current numbers reflect.

How to draft him

Stowers does not have a market ADP — he is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to produce one. In a 12-team snake draft, he is effectively undrafted territory. If you want him, you can likely add him off waivers after your draft concludes rather than spending a pick on him at all.

His projection is 47.2 half-PPR points with a draft value of -64.7, meaning he projects well below replacement level. He ranks TE39 and #256 overall in Tier 9. He has no market ADP, which means he is not being consistently drafted across platforms — making him a waiver-wire target rather than a pick investment.

He is in Tier 9. Tiers are assigned by clustering all players' draft values across every position into bands of similar worth, so Tier 9 reflects a grouping of players with comparable value-over-replacement figures near the bottom of the board.

The Eagles have a Week 10 bye. Given that Stowers projects at 47.2 points with a deeply negative draft value, the bye is a secondary concern — the primary consideration is whether he merits a roster spot at all given his TE39 ranking.
