Brock Bowers
TE - Las Vegas Raiders
2025 Outlook
Availability
Fresh off the most historic rookie season of all time for a tight end, there's no surprise that Bowers is ranked as the consensus no.1 TE. He caught 112 balls for 1,194 receiving yards which led all TEs plus five receiving touchdowns. Bowers broke Mike Ditka's record from 1961 for most receiving yards by a rookie tight end. He also broke Puka Nacua's rookie reception record.
He finished as the fantasy TE2 overall through 17 weeks averaging 12.1 points per game. Akin to Jordan Addison/Jameson Williams among WRs.
But should fantasy managers trust in drafting him so highly in the middle of Round 2 (Picks 14-18) without any upgrade to the Raiders quarterback room?
I'm initially hesitant to pull the trigger at that price given the dynamic between expensive tight ends busting and a surplus of late-round tight ends outperforming their ADP annually.
