Brock Bowers aims for bounce-back in 2026 fantasy football drafts

Raiders tight end Brock Bowers, looking to recover from an injury-plagued 2025 season, enters the 2026 NFL season with high expectations from fantasy analysts. Following a standout rookie year where he dominated in scoring, Bowers is evaluated on his potential value as a first-round pick. Analysts Matt Harmon and Justin Boone discussed his worth on the latest Yahoo Fantasy Forecast episode, noting his de facto No. 1 receiver role in a projected struggling Raiders offense. Bowers remains a top tight end option due to recent trends and lack of competition for targets. Boone considers him a solid pick in both Half-PPR and Full-PPR formats, suggesting a late first to early second-round selection based on past performance.
