The Las Vegas Raiders will visit the Denver Broncos in Week 10. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Brock Bowers.
Is Bowers Playing in Week 10?
Bowers is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Raiders’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Bowers in Week 10?
Can you imagine if the bye week came earlier in the season?
I kid, but Brock Bowers looked like rookie Brock Bowers coming out of the off week. He caught 12 of 13 targets against the Jags for 127 yards and three scores, looking unguardable for all 60 minutes.
Since the beginning of last season, Bowers has half of the 30-point (PPR) games from the tight end position across the NFL, and he led the Raiders in receiving by 80 yards in the near victory.
I’m not yet ready to say that he’s all the way back; we still have to see how the knee reacts, and he still does have a Geno Smith problem that could pop up at any time, but he’s back to Tier 1 status and could pull your team out of the fire should you still have playoff aspirations.
If we acknowledge that his last healthy game came in Week 1, then his last 15 healthy contests have seen him rack up 109 catches for 1,208 yards and eight scores. That’s elite-level upside for any tight end in the history of the game, let alone one dealing with below-average QB play.
If you stayed patient with a player we all labeled as a difference-maker this summer, you stand to be rewarded moving forward.
