Brock Bowers

Brock Bowers caught 4-of-9 targets for 50 yards in the Raiders’ Week 18 loss to the Chargers.

Bowers entered Week 18 with the record for receptions by a rookie (at any position), lost it to Malik Nabers in the early window of games, and reclaimed in the second half of this game after being held without a reception through two quarters. Bowers easily set the records for catches and yards by a rookie tight end. He caught 112 passes for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns, falling six catches short of tying Zach Ertz for the single-season record in receptions by a tight end. Bowers had no problems earning targets with Davante Adams on the field early in the year and hit overdrive after the team sent him to New York. Even if the Raiders add more talent at receiver in the offseason, Bowers is the team’s unquestioned top target heading into 2025. He will rightfully be drafted as the TE1 overall in all formats next season.
