Why It Matters: Excluding his surprise two-game absence at the start of the season, Bowers has proven to be worth every bit of the second-round pick managers needed to grab him in most leagues. He showed again why he is one of the best tight ends in the NFL and a must-play TE1 when healthy. He has topped 70 yards in each of the six games he has appeared and now has five touchdowns. A Kirk Cousins favorite, Bowers has been targeted no fewer than eight times in any game this season. He'll be in line for a lot of work again in Week 9 against San Francisco in a game the Raiders will likely need to air

it out.
