Summary
Brock Bowers enters Year 3 at age 23 as the primary receiving target for the Las Vegas Raiders, ranked #2 at the position in Verdict’s dynasty score (83.0, stable trend). He logged 680 receiving yards in 2025 on 64/86 targets with 7 touchdowns and 29 first downs, solidifying his TE1 status in 0.5 PPR and +6 all TD scoring formats.
Projection Rationale
Bowers logged 86.0% of the Raiders’ offensive snaps in 2025, ranking among the highest in the league. Under Chip Kelly’s spread offense, he received 64/86 targets, translating to a 74.4% target share within the Raiders’ passing game. While rushing production is limited, Bowers’ receiving profile remains an ascending asset with a stable floor and a high ceiling.
Injury Risk
Bowers carried full participation in practice across the 2025 injury report, with no DNPs and 14 starts logged at an 86.0% snap share. As a receiving TE, his injury risk is moderate, and his role security remains intact.
Opportunity Notes
Snap share holds at 86.0% with weekly marks at 77.0-98.0% across most games and only one dip to 90.0% in Week 15. Bowers’ target share remains a consistent 74.4%, with 64/86 targets in 2025. No TE2 threat exists on the depth chart. With 29 first downs on 7 touchdowns, designed play-action and underneath targets drive his receiving profile.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Chip Kelly’s spread offense with designed play-action and underneath targets complements Bowers’ receiving profile. The Raiders’ west coast scheme, under Pete Carroll, prioritizes physicality and volume at the TE position, further solidifying Bowers’ role.
Trend Assessment
Stable
Bowers’ dynasty score remains stable at #2, reflecting his consistent 86.0% offensive snap share in 2025 and 144.2 custom fantasy points across 14 games.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling clears 2025’s 144.2-point finish if targets advance past 64 and receiving yards expand beyond 680 — the combination pays heavily in this custom format. Floor tracks near 144.2 given locked 86.0% snap share and an unchanged scheme. A mid-season injury is the only realistic path to meaningful regression below that line.
Comparable Player
His role as a high-target, volume-driven receiving TE draws comparisons to Hunter Henry from 2018-2020 Los Angeles — similar usage, similar catch rate, similar late-play creation demand.
