From the episode
Brock Bowers really isn't a tight end. Like, the reality is he's kind of like a wide receiver. He's split out. He's out wide. He's in the slot. He's not your traditional inline tight end... he has run or he's been a tight end on the left side of the formation on 8% of his snaps. He's been a tight end on the right side, like a true inline guy on 6% of his snaps on the right.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalRole
Bowers' 24 targets in two games reflect his slot/wide receiver role, not traditional tight end usage.
Bowers has reached 24 targets in just two games for Las Vegas; he's split out wide, in the slot, and rarely lined up as a traditional inline tight end (only 14% of snaps in true tight end alignments). Matt Harmon notes he's 'a totally different animal than your typical tight end,' functioning more like a wide receiver within the Raiders' historically anomalous offensive scheme where RBs and tight ends collectively receive 58% of targets—a formation pattern unseen in 544 team seasons from 2009–2025.
