Draft Note by Matt Jones
Week 1 at Los Angeles Chargers
With a projection of 8.75 points at the time of this writing, it's hard to get excited about Brock Bowers. But, when you look at the tight end landscape, that puts him as a TE1.
He'll make his debut this week and with so much turmoil between coaching changes and a new quarterback it's hard to predict what direction they'll go regarding the target distribution. If you have him on your roster, he's likely your best option but keep an eye on his usage in the early part of the season here.

Draft note
Vegas wasn’t the greatest landing spot for Bowers, who has Gardner Minshew at quarterback and is competing with Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers, and Michael Mayer for targets. Lauded as one of the best–if not THE best–tight end prospect ever, Bowers should play ahead of Mayer and the Raiders would be wise to use him early and often. GM Tom Telesco described Bowers as a “hybrid receiver,” while HC Antonio Pierce said that Bowers was “probably the most dynamic player in college football at the tight end position in a long time.” So it sounds like the Raiders know they have a playmaker in Bowers and will scheme him touches.
