Eli Stowers vs Isaiah Likely
Isaiah Likely holds a 39.5% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/23/2026
THE CASE FOR STOWERS
Stowers is 3 years younger, which matters in dynasty at TE where value curves are long and breakouts can come late. If he earns even a modest weekly route/target role in Philly’s offense, his value can jump fast because the market overreacts to any emerging TE usage. At essentially the same SF rank as Likely, you’re paying similar price for more runway and upside outcomes.
THE CASE FOR LIKELY
Likely has already shown he can produce when given snaps and targets, so the floor is more bankable than a young TE projection. At 26, he’s in the prime scoring window for tight ends, making him easier to plug into lineups if his role is stable. If the Giants deploy him as a featured seam/slot TE and he’s consistently running routes, he can outscore the typical “stash” TE profile immediately.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Likely for contenders—prior production and nearer-term usability beat the age discount in a tight weekly points race.
Stowers for rebuilders—same price tier but younger with more time for a role/market-value breakout.
With only a ~1.2% gap, default to team context: need points now = Likely; swinging for value growth = Stowers.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
In a vacuum they’re roughly equal, but Likely is worth more to contenders while Stowers is worth more to rebuilders.
Trade?
If you can add any meaningful sweetener (e.g., a 3rd) to move Likely for Stowers on a rebuild, do it; if contending, don’t pay extra to pivot off Likely.
Superflex?
In SF, treat both as secondary assets and prioritize the one that best fits your competitive window rather than forcing a tier-up at TE.
