2024 Fantasy Outlook
Bowers is the best tight end prospect since Kyle Pitts in 2021, and arguably a more complete player. In fact, Bowers looked NFL-ready as a true freshman back in 2021, catching 56 passes for 882 yards and 13 TDs for the national champs. He finished his Georgia career with 26 receiving touchdowns and five more on the ground, deployed as a primary weapon in a way that's almost unheard of for college tight ends. Bowers also was praised for his effort as a blocker, though he was listed at just 230 pounds for most of his college career and weighed 243 at the 2024 Combine. A hamstring injury prevented the 6-foot-3 tight end from doing pre-draft workouts and perhaps creates some doubt about the relevance of his bulked-up weight at the combine, but that wasn't enough to deter the Raiders when Bowers was available at No. 13 overall. Vegas isn't the best locale for immediate fantasy value, as the Raiders have Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell at quarterback and drafted 6-foot-4, 265-pound TE Michael Mayer in the second round last year. Bowers is much faster than Mayer and should immediately be one of the best tight ends at gaining yards after the catch, but it's nonetheless possible the rookie cedes some valuable snaps to the second-year pro. Young tight ends traditionally need a year or two to marinate anyway, though similarly talented players like Pitts (1,026 yards in 2021) and Sam LaPorta (10 TDs in 2023) have bucked that trend of late with big rookie seasons.

Highly productive in upset win
Bowers brought in all nine targets for 98 yards in the Raiders' 26-23 win over the Ravens on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Bowers tied Davante Adams for the team lead in receptions while checking in second to his teammate in receiving yards and targets. The athletic tight end also had the Raiders' second-longest reception of the day -- 27 yards -- and he recorded his final three grabs on a key game-tying drive midway through the fourth quarter. Bowers has already drawn 17 targets from Gardner Minshew over his first two NFL games and parlayed 15 of them into catches, validating the fantasy buzz that surrounded him throughout the summer.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Encouraging results as blocker
Bowers has been stouter than expected as a run blocker in training camp, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Bowers was selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Raiders primarily for his pass-catching ability, as he racked up 175 catches and 31 total touchdowns across three college seasons at Georgia. He's proving to be a valuable contributor in all situations so far in training camp though, and Bowers has been a better run blocker than the team expected. If run blocking isn't an issue for the rookie, he'll be able to play in all situations out of the gate despite the presence of 2023 second-round pick Michael Mayer in Vegas' tight end room.
