Davis Mattek remains bullish on Brock Bowers and does not plan to move him in his rankings, regardless of the team's offensive struggles or the Ashton Jeanty injury. Mattek believes Bowers was always projected for high volume (450 targets).PositiveValueMay 31, 2026
Mattek respects early tight end targeting of Brock Bowers, noting 'if you wanted to take Brock Bowers at 17, 16, 15, I'm not arguing against it' and acknowledging he has the most Bowers exposure in his portfolio. He also mentions Bowers as a potential pick at 56 alongside Loveland if available. Later, the source states they would 'take Bowers over Lamb straight up,' indicating preference for Bowers as a tight end option, though notes they plan to draft 3,000 best ball teams and cannot have 350 Bowers teams, suggesting high conviction in his value.PositiveValueMay 23, 2026
Davis Mattek is 'all in' on Brock Bowers, who is available at a significant discount due to his early return from a knee injury despite strong recent production. Mattek believes there is a legitimate chance Bowers leads the NFL in both receptions and targets this season. Recent game log shows volatility (43, 3, 14, 11, 22, 14, 8, 14 points) but the 43-point game demonstrates ceiling potential. Bowers is projected to combine with Colston Loveland for approximately 50 fantasy points twice per season; these ceiling games provide significant upside that compensates for mid-range weeks. Bowers is expected to be a primary flex option, with the team's success contingent on one of these tight ends hitting.PositiveValueMay 16, 2026
