Brock Bowers Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

It will be fascinating to see what Brock Bowers can do for an encore after a fabulous rookie year. Playing most of the season at age 21, Bowers had 112 catches for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns, breaking the records for most receiving yards by a rookie tight ends and most receptions by a rookie at any position. It was the highest reception total by a tight end since Zach Ertz had a record-setting 116 catches for the Eagles in 2018. Bowers managed all of that despite the Raiders finishing 27th in team passer rating. Las Vegas has upgraded its QB situation by trading for Geno Smith, and the only significant pass-catching addition the Raiders made in the offseason was drafting WR Jack Bech in the second round. Bowers should once again be the leading pass catcher in the Las Vegas offense and has a good chance to repeat as the fantasy TE1.
