Raiders' Brock Bowers: Scores late receiving TD
Brock Bowers secured five of eight targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Las Vegas 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.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Modest Week 8 line
Brock 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 Las Vegas 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
Brock 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 Las Vegas 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.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Double-digit targets again
Brock Bowers recorded nine receptions on 10 targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Steelers.With both Davante Adams (hamstring) and Jakobi Meyers (ankle) sidelined, Bowers was able to serve as the Las Vegas Raiders' top pass catcher for the second consecutive week. Aidan O'Connell was hesitant to push the ball down the field, leaving Bowers to do the majority of his damage after the catch. While his stat line is impressive enough, he also served as the lead blocker on Alexander Mattison's touchdown run in the first quarter and had a one-handed catch wiped away by a penalty. Even once Meyers and potentially Adams return to the offense, Bowers has shown enough to maintain a significant role.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: First pro touchdown
Brock Bowers recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 97 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-18 loss to the Broncos.Bowers was a bright spot in an otherwise dismal game for the Las Vegas Raiders, and he began his day with an impressive 57-yard touchdown during which he leaped over a defender and then broke free for the long score. He was otherwise used primarily in short areas of the field, though his 12 targets were a season high. Quarterback play will likely be a problem for at least the rest of 2024, but Bowers could take over as the top pass-catching option in the absence of Davante Adams.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Less volume last two games
Brock Bowers caught two of three targets for 19 yards and added a 12-yard run in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.Bowers has just seven targets in Vegas' last two games after being targeted 17 times in his first two games, as defenses have paid more attention to the rookie first-round pick after his hot start. He scored five touchdowns on 19 rushing attempts over his three years at Georgia, so perhaps Bowers will add more of that element to his game moving forward after registering his first NFL rushing attempt in Sunday's win. Bowers will look to increase his involvement as a pass catcher Week 5 against the Broncos.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Limited production in Week 3
Brock Bowers recorded three receptions on four targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Panthers.The Las Vegas Raiders struggled to get their offense moving consistently, which perhaps explains Bowers' surprising lack of involvement. He wasn't targeted until seven minutes were remaining in the second quarter, though he did still manage to record an impressive 21-yard catch and run for his longest gain of the day. Bowers has already shown the ability to excel as a pro, as this was his worst performance of the season, though his results will likely remain inconsistent due to the Raiders' offense.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Highly productive in upset win
Brock Bowers brought in all nine targets for 98 yards in the Las Vegas 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.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Bright spot in loss
Brock 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 Las Vegas 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.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Good to go for opener
Brock 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 Las Vegas Raiders likely to frequently employ two-TE sets.
