Elite tier-one tight end ranked as a top-25 overall player. Rookie year production of 112 catches and 1,100 yards set the tight end rookie catch record by 20 catches and ranks second all-time for any rookie position (behind only Puka Nacua). Now in Clint Kubiak's Raiders offense with Kirk Cousins at quarterback—a significant upgrade from Gardner Minshew and Aiden O'Connell. Kubiak has called him a 'football robot from heaven' and will make Bowers the focal point of the passing game. Projected to be drafted in the middle of the second round or higher, positioning him as a potential first-round tight end. Demonstrated elite receiving ability by burning first-team All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie in his rookie year.NegativeBreakoutJul 6, 2026
The source is very bullish on Brock Bowers, stating he wants Bowers in every fantasy team this year. The source believes Bowers will be the focal point of the Raiders offense similar to how Jackson Smith-Njigba was the centerpiece of the Seahawks offense, and projects Bowers as a potential top-three tight end in targets, catches, and yards. The source believes Bowers will be underrated this year because Kirk Cousins is likely to play extended time, meaning the Raiders offense won't experience a rookie quarterback dip. The source emphasizes that he cannot miss a Bowers season where that upside is on the table, acknowledging the risk of discussing this in July before the Raiders' actual performance but maintaining conviction in Bowers' target volume and role.
