Less than 48 hours removed from news of Brock Bowers' unexpected knee surgery and the morning after Kaelon Black's promising debut, a user asked me a question: "Would you try and flip Kaelon Black to the CMC owner for Bowers or is Black's value high enough to justify holding?" Bowers is only expected to miss a week or two, and McCaffrey's workload was reportedly reeled back because he was dealing with cramps.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Unexpected knee surgery expected to sideline Bowers one to two weeks.

Bowers underwent unexpected knee surgery after Week 1 and is only expected to miss a week or two. Dave Kluge cautions against overreacting to this news, noting that a user asked about trading late-round dart throw Kaelon Black for Bowers (a Round 2 pick) less than 48 hours after the surgery announcement—just 0.7% into the 2026 NFL season.
