Brock Bowers suffered a PCL injury and bone bruise in his knee during the 2024 season, starting strong with five catches and 103 yards in week one before the injury forced the Raiders to shut him down for four weeks. Upon return, he posted 12 catches for 127 yards and three touchdowns in his first game back, but managed only four touchdowns in subsequent games as the offense struggled. However, Fitzmaurice emphasizes that the Raiders' offensive overhaul under Clint Kubiak, improved offensive line with Tyler Linderbaum and healthy Colton Miller, and better quarterbacking should enable Bowers to return to form and avoid the dysfunction that plagued his 2024 season.PositiveProjectionJul 28, 2026
Pat Fitzmaurice names Brock Bowers his number one league-winner pick, citing his rookie 2024 production of 112 catches for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns (tight end one in fantasy scoring, third among all pass catchers in receptions, sixth in targets, eighth in receiving yardage, ninth in PPR points) despite playing with Gardner Minshew, Aiden O'Connell, and Desmond Ritters (combined 82.4 passer rating). Fitzmaurice projects massive upside with Kirk Cousins arriving (noting Cousins' history of supporting elite tight ends like Kyle Pitts' 166-yard, three-touchdown game and Jordan Reed's 954-yard, 11-touchdown 2015 season with Washington) and eventual Fernando Mendoza, plus Clint Kubiak's offensive system overhaul, Tyler Linderbaum's addition, and Colton Miller's health. With no clear wide receiver competition on the Raiders, Bowers is the unquestioned star and will account for a massive percentage of the team's yards and touchdowns, positioning him as a potential consensus first-round pick in 2027 drafts.PositiveRoleJul 24, 2026
