Bowers brought in all nine targets for 98 yards in the Raiders' 26-23 win over the Ravens on Sunday. Bowers tied Davante Adams for the team lead in receptions while checking in second to his teammate in receiving yards and targets. The athletic tight end also had the Raiders' second-longest reception of the day -- 27 yards -- and he recorded his final three grabs on a key game-tying drive midway through the fourth quarter. Bowers has already drawn 17 targets from Gardner Minshew over his first two NFL games and parlayed 15 of them into catches, validating the fantasy buzz that surrounded him throughout the summer.

Bowers led the Raiders in catches (six) and targets (eight) in Week 1 at the Chargers, and that could be a sign of things to come. The Raiders love his versatility, and Bowers is worth starting as a No. 1 Fantasy tight end in all leagues in Week 2 at Baltimore. Las Vegas will likely be chasing points in this game, so Bowers could have the chance for plenty of work. I'm excited to see what he can do in this matchup.

Bowers recorded six receptions on eight targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Chargers. Despite recently overcoming a foot injury, Bowers led the Raiders in both targets and receptions in his pro debut. His longest catch of the day came in the middle of the second quarter as he worked over the middle of the field on a play-action pass. He was otherwise targeted primarily underneath by Gardner Minshew, but it's clear that Bowers will play a key role in the Raiders' offense in his rookie campaign.

Bowers (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's season opener against the Chargers. After logging limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, Bowers was listed as a full participant Friday, paving the way for the 2024 first-rounder to make his NFL regular-season debut this weekend. As the coming campaign approaches, he's in line to be a key target in a Las Vegas passing offense that also features WRs Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers and fellow TE Michael Mayer, a 2023 second-rounder. Though the continued presence of Mayer is of note, Bowers should still provide fantasy utility as a rookie, with the Raiders likely to frequently employ two-TE sets.

Bowers (foot) remained limited in Thursday's practice. Coach Antonio Pierce has stressed Bowers will be ready to go for Sunday's Week 1 opener against the Chargers despite the limited practice reps. The Raiders are expected to use both Bowers and second-year TE Michael Mayer in tandem this season, with Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers handling the wideout reps in an offense that likely won't use a ton of three-receiver looks.
