Brock Bowers continues to do things few — if any — rookie tight ends have ever done in the history of the NFL. The Raiders’ tight end hauled in 13 of 16 targets against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11, finishing with 31.3 fantasy points. That’s not just impressive, it’s historic.
Those 13 receptions are the most by a rookie tight end in a single game. He also joined Jeremy Shockey as the only rookie tight end to log multiple games with 10 or more catches.
Davante Adams‘ departure to the New York Jets has helped opened the door for Bowers, who already was having a strong campaign before the trade. Bowers has had 10 or more targets in four of the past six games and scored 10 or more fantasy points in every one of them. In five of those games, he’s gone over 15 points.
For fantasy managers, he’s been a bright spot in an otherwise bleak tight end landscape. And it could only get better — Mike Clay’s strength-of-schedule matrix shows the Raiders have the second-best schedule for tight ends moving forward this season.
This latest performance moves Bowers…
