All of this leads me to the inescapable conclusion that Brock Bowers will set records this year. Now Bowers gets a play-caller who just funneled Jaxon Smith-Njigba 36 percent of the Seahawks' targets. That is the highest target share for a player in the past decade.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Historic rookie; Kubiak's scheme (36% JSN target share) will unlock records.

Bowers posted 1,194 yards as a rookie (17th-most for a tight end in league history) and set the record for receptions by a rookie regardless of position. After suffering a PCL injury and bone bruise in his left knee early in 2025, he still ranked top-10 in both yards and targets per route run and posted one of the five best fantasy games for a tight end since 2000. Now he gets Klint Kubiak, who funneled Jaxon Smith-Njigba 36 percent of the Seahawks' targets (highest target share for a player in the past decade), suggesting Kubiak knows how to get his best pass-catcher the ball better than any other coach in the league. The source concludes Bowers will set records this year.
