From the article

Bowers finished the game with 10 catches for 116 yards and a touchdown. Bowers was all over the field, in slot 39% of the snaps, out wide 39%, and inline 17%. The Raiders had two tight ends on the field for 83% of the snaps. That means Michael Mayer was the traditional tight end while Bowers was out wide in the slot.

Bowers operating as WR1 in two-TE sets; 10 catches, 116 yards, TD vs. Saints

Bowers is operating as a WR1 in the Raiders offense despite his tight end designation. In Week 3 vs. New Orleans, he finished with 10 catches for 116 yards and a touchdown while lined up in slot 39% of snaps, out wide 39%, and inline 17%. The Raiders deployed two tight ends on the field for 83% of snaps, with Bowers positioned out wide in the slot while Michael Mayer served as the traditional tight end. This personnel usage under Klint Kubiak confirms Bowers' primary role as a wide receiver, not a traditional tight end.
