Eli Stowers News
Saturday, August 15, 7:25 PM
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Eli Stowers caught all three of his targets for 12 yards during Saturday's preseason contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Stowers did a little bit of everything in his pro debut. In addition to catching three passes, he carved out a decent role as a blocker and also made a tackle on special teams. The only blip on Stowers' stat sheet was a holding penalty from the very first play of the game, but perhaps that can be chalked up to first-game jitters. It was encouraging to see Stowers form a rapport with Tanner McKee, who is in the mix to be Jalen Hurts' backup in Philly this season. While Dallas Goedert projects as the Eagles' No. 1 tight end this year, there's a clear path for Stowers to take over atop the depth chart with Goedert's anticipated departure in free agency next offseason. As it stands, the second-round pick out of Vanderbilt checks in at TE12 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Eli Raridon News
Tuesday, August 18, 5:30 PM
New England Patriots rookie tight end Eli Raridon is "set for a meaningful role" as the team's number two tight end option behind veteran Hunter Henry, according to Chad Graff of The Athletic. A third-round pick out of Notre Dame, Raridon recorded 32 catches for 482 yards across 12 games with the Fighting Irish in 2025. At the time he was drafted, Raridon looked like the third tight end on the Patriots' depth chart. However, a season-ending knee injury for tight end Julian Hill (knee) has pushed Raridon into a more prominent role. While Henry profiles as New England's clear top receiving option at the position, he's entering his age-32 season. Particularly in dynasty formats, Raridon's stock is rising ahead of his rookie year.
