Brock Bowers heads into his third NFL season with the Raiders as the consensus top-ranked tight end for fantasy football. Pro Football Network analysts currently place his average draft position at 22nd overall, representing the back of the second round. Despite battling a PCL injury during the 2025 season, Bowers maintained a significant target share and finished as the league's second-best tight end in points per game. The team enters the new campaign with Kirk Cousins at quarterback and offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak calling plays. Bowers is expected to serve as the primary pass-catching option for the Raiders given the current depth chart of Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor, Jack Bech, and Malik Benson. Analysts indicate that while taking a tight end in the second round carries risk, his projected workload provides a path for a breakout season.
