2023 Fantasy Outlook
Rowe signed with the Panthers this offseason after spending the 2022 campaign with the Dolphins. Playing 14 games, he finished with 56 tackles, two sacks and two forced fumbles. In Carolina, he'll join a safety cohort that includes Jeremy Chinn, Xavier Woods and fellow free-agent addition Vonn Bell. That crowded group could restrict Rowe to reserve snaps behind Bell in new coordinator Ejiro Evero's scheme. Read Past Outlooks

January 14, 2024
The Steelers elevated Rowe to the active roster Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Rowe will join Pittsburgh's active roster for the fourth game in a row ahead of Monday's playoff opener against Buffalo. The 31-year-old was signed with the Steelers' practice squad in late November, and he's played a significant role while starting safety Minkah Fitzpatrick has been sidelined over the past three weeks. Rowe has played at least 86 percent of defensive snaps in each of these contests, tallying 29 tackles and two passes defended over that span. But, with Fitzpatrick set to return, it's unclear how much playing time Rowe will see Monday.

Rowe is coming off the best statistical season of his career, with 91 total tackles, 11 pass breakups and two interceptions. 2020 third-round pick Brandon Jones could push for a larger role this season, but Rowe is the clear favorite to start at strong safety for the duration of the season.
Coming off a career-best 2019 campaign, highlighted by 81 tackles and a pick-six to end the season, Rowe looks firmly entrenched as Miami's starter at strong safety. His tackle volume and solid eight defended passes provided Rowe with notable fantasy value in IDP formats last season, and Miami's secondary stands to significantly improve in 2020 due to the addition of Byron Jones and the return of Xavien Howard.
Rowe followed coach Brian Flores to Miami from New England, and appears to be the favorite to win a starting cornerback gig across from Xavien Howard. Versatile second-year pro Minkah Fitzpatrick is a threat to nab snaps at cornerback no matter who officially tops the depth chart, but if Rowe is able to build upon the potential he flashed with the Patriots and keep healthy (he missed 27 of a possible 48 games during his time in New England), he could emerge as a key member of the Dolphins' secondary.
Although Rowe flashed potential in his rookie season after being drafted in the second round, he reportedly enters the 2016 season firmly behind all of Leodis McKelvin, Ron Brooks, Nolan Carroll and Jalen Mills. Rowe will likely need an unfortunate series of injuries in order to see considerable playing time and is not worthy of IDP consideration in the slightest.
Chip Kelly traded up in the second round to select Rowe. The Eagles’ coaches have been very high on the University of Utah product, and he’s expected to compete with Nolan Carroll for the team’s second starting cornerback position. Rowe can also play safety, which means he could challenge Walter Thurmond for the second starting safety position as well.
