• Raiders' Brock Bowers: Scores late receiving TD

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Bowers secured five of eight targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 41-24 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. Bowers had a quiet day for the most part despite the favorable matchup against a Bengals defense that had struggled against tight ends. However, he salvaged his fantasy day late with a 22-yard touchdown grab from Desmond Ridder with 41 seconds remaining, which served as only the second receiving score of his career. Bowers will continue serving as one of the primary targets for either Gardner Minshew or Ridder in a Week 11 road matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 17 following a Week 10 bye.

  The best tight end in Fantasy Football, George Kittle, is on bye this week. The second best is rookie tight end Brock Bowers and he has a good matchup against a mediocre Bengals defense. Bowers had three straight games with double-digit targets before Spags locked him up. I would expect he jumps right back on the high volume train versus the Bengals.

• Raiders' Brock Bowers: Modest Week 8 line

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Bowers recorded five receptions on five targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs. Bowers made the most of his opportunity in Sunday's loss, as three of his five catches went for double-digit yards. However, he saw his lowest target total since Week 4, as Gardner Minshew distributed targets fairly evenly among the Raiders' skill-position players. Lack of volume isn't likely to be a concern often moving forward, as Minshew has looked to Bowers increasingly as the season has progressed.

• Raiders' Brock Bowers: Ten catches in Week 7 loss

  24D ago • By RotoWire

  Bowers caught 10 of 14 targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams. Bowers continues to lead all NFL tight ends in receiving yards, with 477 through seven games, and he's the clear No. 1 target in the Raiders' passing game following Tuesday's trade of Davante Adams to the Jets. Despite finding success regardless of whether Vegas deploys Aidan O'Connell -- who exited in the first half Sunday due to a thumb injury -- or Gardner Minshew under center, the rookie first-round pick has been held back by the lack of talent around him, as Bowers has just one touchdown, and his first end-zone target of the season came in the fourth quarter against the Rams. Bowers has a juicy Week 8 matchup coming up against a Kansas City defense that has allowed the most yards in the league to tight ends.

  I'm fine with any of George Kittle, Travis Kelce, or Brock Bowers in cash game lineups this week, but if Jakobi Meyers remains out I lean towards Bowers who is the cheapest of the three. He has 17 catches on 22 targets for 168 yards in his last two games and has become the clear focal part of the passing game regardless of who is playing quarterback.
