Hayden Winks - PPR Rankings on Brock Bowers
ArticleHayden Winks 2026 Half-PPR rankings analysis: Brock Bowers
From the article
Bowers is the next Travis Kelce for fantasy football. Bowers' 64.6 YPG through his first two seasons are the most since at least 2000 at TE, and his five closest comps (George Kittle, Jeremy Shockey, Rob Gronkowski, Jimmy Graham, and Aaron Hernandez) averaged 4 more YPG in their third NFL season. His 13-closest comps averaged +7 YPG, too. That includes HOF talents like Antonio Gates and Kelce. The combination of Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza at QB with Super Bowl-winning OC Klint Kubiak is such a better setup than whatever we're calling 2025. Bowers is likely to be healthier, and the Raiders are (somehow) even worse at receiver heading into 2026 if we view Jalen Nailor as a downgrade to Jakobi Meyers. I do. The defense is better but will still create garbage time receptions for Bowers. Any TE nearing 70 YPG is worthy of a borderline 1st-round selection in full PPR redraft leagues, where the value of late-round TE is lowest. He's still a target in mid to late Round 2 in Underdog's half PPR best ball, and I've bet higher on 899.5 receiving yards, too.
