Fantasy analysts identify Brock Bowers as high priority tight end target

Summary

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers enters the 2026 season as a high-value option for fantasy football managers. Following an injury-shortened campaign, analysts suggest the tight end is a target for late second-round draft picks. The team features newcomer quarterback Kirk Cousins, whose history with tight ends provides expectations for significant receiving yardage totals. Projections suggest Bowers could accumulate over 1,300 receiving yards and potentially finish as the top player at his position in PPR and standard scoring formats. The Raiders also added the first overall draft pick Fernando Mendoza to their roster for the upcoming season.
