Footballguys on Brock Bowers
From the article
We have Bowers ranked as the TE1, despite Trey McBride finishing as the actual TE1 in scoring last season... We have Bowers projected to outscore our TE2, Trey McBride, by more than two points per game and our TE12, Dallas Goedert, by eight points per game. Those projections push him up to be the eighth most valuable player in PPR formats. For context, current ADP on DraftKings is 18th overall.
STACKED’s take
TE1 projection with 18th ADP; Kubiak's track record and weak Raiders WR room support elite value.
Ranked TE1 in 2026 projections despite Trey McBride finishing as actual TE1 in 2025 scoring; projected to outscore TE2 McBride by more than two points per game and TE12 Dallas Goedert by eight points per game; eighth most valuable player in PPR formats; current ADP 18th overall on DraftKings. Klint Kubiak's track record elevating primary pass catchers (Brandon Aiyuk, Justin Jefferson, Jackson Smith-Njigba) supports the ranking. Raiders' weak WR room (Jalen Nailor, Tre Tucker, Jack Bech) positions Bowers as de facto number one receiver. Draft strategy: take Bowers in round two, skip expensive QBs, and grab Brock Purdy in round ten to gain multi-point weekly edge at tight end while losing only one to two points at QB.
