Brock Bowers

PositiveProjection0:06

Brock Bowers has a legitimate path to leading the NFL in targets and target share due to a lack of competition in the Raiders' wide receiver room and the arrival of offensive coordinator Clint Kubiak. Jsn. We notes that the current depth chart, including Jaylen Nailor, Jack Besh, and Trey Tucker, lacks significant target competition. Despite a PCL sprain last season, his historical rookie production and elite talent profile make him one of the highest-ceiling tight ends in fantasy history.

0:00I have no problem with people kind of
0:01spewing this
0:03this popular take that's been going
0:04around the fantasy community all summer
0:06in that they think Brock Bowers could
0:08lead the NFL in targets and target
0:10share. It makes a ton of sense when you
0:12just look at it on paper. You have Clint
0:14Kubiak who was the offensive coordinator
0:16in Seattle coming over to Las Vegas. He
0:18is now the head coach and we saw what he
0:20just did with JSN. We saw the target
0:22share. It was one of the highest target
0:23shares in the history of the NFL for an
0:24individual player and I think when you
0:26look at the makeups of the offense,
0:27obviously Seattle's roster was so much
0:30better, but when you look at the
0:32personnel on offense, JSN had very
0:34little of any target competition. Brock
0:36Bowers, same thing, man. Gentry's going
0:38to get a lot of touches out of that
0:39backfield, but wide receiver depth on
0:42Las Vegas there's nothing there besides
0:44Brock Bowers. It is they signed Jaylen
0:46Nailer from Minnesota. It's Jack Besh.
0:48It's Trey Tucker. It's like there is
0:50nothing going on there outside of Brock.
0:52Obviously Brock had the massive rookie
0:55year, most receptions all time by a
0:57rookie, not just a tight end. Week one
1:00last year, big game right out the gate,
1:02over 100 receiving yards, then has the
1:04PCL sprain that obviously derailed the
1:05season, but we saw it in glimpses when
1:07he was back on the field, the three
1:08touchdown game. Like he is one of the
1:10higher ceiling fantasy tight ends that
1:12we've seen all time. Overall, Brock is
1:14just awesome. There's no debate on that.
1:16The scheme is going to be awesome with
1:17Clint Kubiak. I can't like emphasize
1:20enough how big of a difference that's
1:21obviously going to make. It's going to
1:23run through Brock.
1:24The the the drastic difference between
1:26having just the worst interior play to
1:29to
1:30that actually being like an asset for
1:31them is going to be a world of
1:33difference for everybody involved in
1:35this offense and Brock Bowers is just
1:36like it's it's Brock Bowers as a pass
1:38catcher in terms of talent and then
1:39everybody else in Las Vegas Raiders is
1:41YouTube would have to go into vertical
1:43format for you to see where my hand
1:45would go down there in terms of talent.
1:47So, honestly, the one-two turn, if you
1:50went like Saquon Brock Bowers, would not
1:52be mad at you at all.
