All Fantasy Points insights about Brock Bowers
PositiveProjectionJul 30, 2026
Projected at 14.3 PPR PPG with league-winner potential; ranked as tight end one by the source nine spots ahead of Trey McBride. Bowers is going in ADP between wide receiver seven and eight, which aligns with his historical production tier (roughly WR7-WR8 over last two seasons). The source argues his breakout season justifies taking him around Nico Collins and AJ Brown in draft order. Bowers has elite prospect pedigree and has averaged PPR points per game in his first two NFL seasons second only to Rob Gronkowski among tight ends, with significantly lower target competition than McBride.PositiveValueJul 28, 2026
Premium tight end going at 2.03 in draft strategy; represents a key decision point in the second round as a viable alternative to running back. Source loves pairing an early running back with Bowers and then loading up on receivers in the fourth–fifth round, noting that elite wide receiver depth is limited so pivoting to Bowers makes sense. Positioned as a contract-resetting player if he performs well. However, source questions the ADP spread between Bowers (203) and Trey McBride (311), suggesting the gap may be too large and that McBride offers better relative value at his later ADP.PositiveValueJul 27, 2026
Elite tight end anchor for hero RB strategy in 2026. Bowers is a second-round target after taking one of the four clear first-round RB candidates (Jamir Gibbs, Breece Hall, Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor), pairing well with A.J. Brown, Nico Collins, and Drake London as part of the elite receiver/TE group that makes the hero RB approach efficient. Also works as a second-round target in modified hero RB strategy pairing first-round elite WR like Ja'Marr Chase or Puka Nacua; Bowers expresses strong conviction and obsession with the pick, viewing it as a way to secure elite receiver and tight end production while pivoting to RB depth in round three.NegativeValueJul 23, 2026
Mentioned as a draft strategy option in the second round as part of an alternative build that starts with receivers, allowing for a stable of running backs starting with David Montgomery in the fourth round.PositiveProjectionJul 22, 2026
The source's bold take is that Bowers, available at the end of the second round, could be the TE1 by 3–4 points per game in a Travis Kelce-like fashion, making him a key differentiator in zero RB builds. Positioned as a viable alternative to traditional early-round running back selection in zero RB strategies, offering tight end upside as a flex play.NegativeProjectionJul 21, 2026
Brock Bowers is cited as one of the three elite rookie tight end comparisons for Tyler Warren's production context, alongside Sam Leaporta. The source notes that Bowers, Leaporta, and Colston Loveland all had awesome seasons at the end of last year, which has knocked Warren down a few tiers in draft rankings despite his elite rookie production.NegativeValueJul 20, 2026
Confirmed round 2 target for Schefter in 2026 drafts; Schefter will take Bowers in round two if he gets a crack at it. While Bowers' fortunes are tied to the Raiders' quarterback situation—with Fernando Mendoza benched through week 13 behind Kirk Cousins, creating early-season production uncertainty—Schefter characterizes Bowers as clean with no off-field concerns, making him a preferred draft target. Schefter favors clean, simple players to avoid championship-losing risks; Bowers fits this profile.PositiveInjuryJul 17, 2026
