How high does Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers deserve to be taken in fantasy football drafts this year? Bowers is preparing to wage a bounce back season in 2026 after injuries took their toll last season, and a return to form will make him perhaps the best tight end to target in drafts.
The FantasyPros Staff appraised Bowers
as being a must-have player worth selecting late in the second round of drafts this year.”No. 1 overall draft pick Fernando Mendoza offers hope, and the Raiders also have tight end-friendly quarterback Kirk Cousins, who was quarterbacking the Falcons last year in Week 15, when Kyle Pitts had 11 catches for 166 yards and three scores… Bowers could produce the sort of 2026 numbers that Trey McBride produced for the Cardinals
in 2025.”
Producing over 1,200 receiving yards will place Bowers in the same ballpark as McBride next season. However, he has the potential to produce even more. A season with over 1,300 yards likely won’t come as a shocker, and will very likely ensure that he finishes as a top-two tight end next season, and perhaps the No. 1 overall player at the position, in PPR or standard leagues.
