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.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Misses practice
Brock Bowers (foot) didn't practice Tuesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.Bowers was held out of Saturday's 27-12 preseason loss to Dallas with foot soreness and is still working through the issue. The Las Vegas Raiders named Gardner Minshew as their Week 1 starting quarterback Sunday, answering one of the big questions about their offense heading into the season. One of the other questions is how snaps at tight end will be divided between Bowers and Michael Mayer, especially in clear passing situations when the Raiders will want three receivers and only one tight end on the field.
