I'm likely to land on one player I like a bit more than the consensus: Brock Bowers. After a record-breaking rookie season, Bowers' Year 2 was marred by injuries. But now he has an improved quarterback situation and (most importantly) Klint Kubiak. Kubiak's scheme has a history of building around their top weapon, hitting that guy deep downfield with opportunities to create after the catch.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Bowers' Kubiak scheme fit offers positional advantage over consensus ADP.

The source identifies Bowers as a player to target above consensus ADP due to positional advantage; despite Year 2 injuries, he benefits from an improved quarterback situation and Klint Kubiak's scheme, which has a history of building around top weapons with deep-ball opportunities and after-catch creation (evidenced by Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, Brandon Aiyuk, and Justin Jefferson in prior years). Bowers is positioned as the next beneficiary of this scheme, offering Value-Based Drafting upside at tight end.
