From the episode

He's the only player to rank in the top five in yards per route run from the slot and out wide, which he's not really a tight end if we're looking at how a traditional tight end is used. Like he's basically a receiver, but he is arguably the most effective receiver in the league so far this year. 3.2 yards per route run from the slot, which is fifth. 3.9 yards per route run out wide. That's four.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Bowers ranks top five in yards per route run from slot and wide; likely highest-paid 2024 draft pick.

Bowers is the only player to rank in the top five in yards per route run from both the slot (3.2, fifth) and out wide (3.9, fourth), essentially functioning as a receiver rather than a traditional tight end. He is arguably the most effective receiver in the league so far this year and has been able to carry the load for the Raiders passing game; the source projects he will have the highest contract of the 2024 draft class and could make a strong case for a lucrative second contract given his utilization and the rising cap for receivers.
