Eli Stowers Analytical Draft Profile

Film Profile | Analytical Profile Prospect Information College: Vanderbilt Height/Weight: 6'4"/239 Hands: 9 3/4" Age: 23 (at the time of the 2026 season opener) Important NFL Combine/Pro Day Numbers 40-Yard Dash: 4. 51 Vertical Jump: 45. 5" Broad Jump: 11'3" 20-Yard Shuttle: N/A 3-Cone: N/A Model Overview My Tight End Rookie Model evaluates prospects through the traits that historically translate best to fantasy production.

The model weighs target earning, market-share production, route efficiency, alignment usage, after-catch ability, ball skills, blocking deployment, athletic translation, age, breakout timing, teammate competition, team context and historical outcome trends. Stowers stands out as one of the stronger fantasy bets in the 2026 tight end class because he combines high-end athleticism with a real receiving role. He is not a traditional in-line volume blocker masquerading as a fantasy prospect.

The model sees a movement-based receiving tight end with strong target earning, useful route efficiency and a deployment profile that is built for pass-game work. The appeal with Stowers is that he checks several of the fantasy-friendly boxes at once. He was used heavily in the slot, earned targets at a strong rate and paired that with one of the better athletic profiles in the class.

That gives him a clear path to NFL receiving utility if the landing spot leans into that role. Model Derived Athletic Scores BMI: 29. 1 Speed Score: 115.
