Bowers' historic TE pace and improved QB/coaching setup position him as next Kelce.
Bowers is positioned as the next Travis Kelce for fantasy football. His 64.6 yards per game through his first two seasons are the most since at least 2000 at TE; his five closest comps (George Kittle, Jeremy Shockey, Rob Gronkowski, Jimmy Graham, Aaron Hernandez) averaged +4 YPG in their third NFL season, and his 13 closest comps averaged +7 YPG, including HOF talents like Antonio Gates and Kelce. The combination of Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza at QB with Super Bowl-winning OC Klint Kubiak is a better setup than Vegas 2025. Bowers is likely to be healthier, and the Raiders are even worse at receiver heading into 2026 if Jalen Nailor is viewed as a downgrade to Jakobi Meyers. The defense is better but will still create garbage-time receptions. A former Raiders analytics director tweeted that the team had a goal last year of a single-season record for catches and targets for Brock before the Week 1 injury.
