Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Outlook
The roster math points back up. A thin receiver room leaves him the clear funnel for whoever wins the quarterback job, and nothing on the depth chart threatens his alpha role. Drafters are treating him as the position's top option around the second-third round turn, and that price is justified: healthy, he carries the highest weekly ceiling at a scarce position and a realistic path to overall TE1. Behind him on the depth chart: Michael Mayer. Full outlook

Brock Bowers Rest-of-Season Outlook
Efficient TE2 with matchup weeks
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE11 last season at 14.7 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 1 game he's TE17 at 27.6 PPR points per game, against 14.7 over 12 games last season (TE11). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 17th of 81 in route participation (68.4%), 10th of 82 in target share (17.4%) and 9th of 82 in efficiency (1.73 yards per route run). His points come from his efficiency. Kirk Cousins is his quarterback.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Michael Mayer next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Even compressed to 12 games by injury, Bowers finished as our TE10 in 2025, turning 86 targets into 64 grabs for 680 yards and seven scores while posting a stout 0.259 EPA per play and 112.2 fantasy points. Lean on the rookie blueprint instead: a TE1 finish in 2024 on 153 targets, 112 receptions, 1,194 yards and a commanding 25.8% target share that fueled 150.7 points. His 2025 share dipped to 17.4%, a function of missed time and a stalled attack rather than ability.
The roster math points back up. A thin receiver room leaves him the clear funnel for whoever wins the quarterback job, and nothing on the depth chart threatens his alpha role. Drafters are treating him as the position's top option around the second-third round turn, and that price is justified: healthy, he carries the highest weekly ceiling at a scarce position and a realistic path to overall TE1.

If Bowers Misses Time
Next man up: Michael Mayer
Michael Mayer is next on the Raiders depth chart at tight end. Tight end targets would mostly move to the receivers, so he's a streaming option at best if Bowers misses time.

His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Kirk Cousins would lose one of his main options.
