2024 Fantasy Outlook
Bowers is the best tight end prospect since Kyle Pitts in 2021, and arguably a more complete player. In fact, Bowers looked NFL-ready as a true freshman back in 2021, catching 56 passes for 882 yards and 13 TDs for the national champs. He finished his Georgia career with 26 receiving touchdowns and five more on the ground, deployed as a primary weapon in a way that's almost unheard of for college tight ends. Bowers also was praised for his effort as a blocker, though he was listed at just 230 pounds for most of his college career and weighed 243 at the 2024 Combine. A hamstring injury prevented the 6-foot-3 tight end from doing pre-draft workouts and perhaps creates some doubt about the relevance of his bulked-up weight at the combine, but that wasn't enough to deter the Raiders when Bowers was available at No. 13 overall. Vegas isn't the best locale for immediate fantasy value, as the Raiders have Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell at quarterback and drafted 6-foot-4, 265-pound TE Michael Mayer in the second round last year. Bowers is much faster than Mayer and should immediately be one of the best tight ends at gaining yards after the catch, but it's nonetheless possible the rookie cedes some valuable snaps to the second-year pro. Young tight ends traditionally need a year or two to marinate anyway, though similarly talented players like Pitts (1,026 yards in 2021) and Sam LaPorta (10 TDs in 2023) have bucked that trend of late with big rookie seasons.

Scores late receiving TD
Bowers secured five of eight targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 41-24 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Bowers had a quiet day for the most part despite the favorable matchup against a Bengals defense that had struggled against tight ends. However, he salvaged his fantasy day late with a 22-yard touchdown grab from Desmond Ridder with 41 seconds remaining, which served as only the second receiving score of his career. Bowers will continue serving as one of the primary targets for either Gardner Minshew or Ridder in a Week 11 road matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 17 following a Week 10 bye.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Finally targeted in end zone
Mike Clay of ESPN points out that Bowers saw his first career end-zone target in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Bowers leads all NFL tight ends with 477 receiving yards, but the standout rookie hasn't been involved much in close thus far, as he has only one touchdown through seven games and has been thrown to only once in the end zone. Given the lack of talent in Vegas' passing game, the team would be wise to prioritize Bowers in scoring range moving forward.
