2026 Outlook

Primary target earner in Las Vegas offensive system. Raiders signed WR Jalen Nailor to $35M deal, positioning him as the clear WR1, which opens target opportunities for other positions—Bowers looks set to be the TE1 and second-highest target earner behind Nailor. (per [[10 Dynasty Fantasy Football Deep Sleepers (2026)]])

Sharp Football Analysis ranks Bowers as the TE2, noting he's a clear lead target in the passing tree with an upgraded play-caller, though his ceiling is somewhat capped by his rookie passer (per [[2026 Fantasy Football TE Rankings: Rich Hribar's Notes on Every Player]]). Under Kubiak's system, Bowers should get favorable looks across formations, similar to Justin Smith-Njigba's "JSN treatment" in Seattle—elite usage despite being a rookie QB situation. (per [[2026 NFL Draft Team Needs & Predictions: Raiders]])

Role / Depth Chart

Lead TE target earner for Raiders; positioned for "JSN treatment" with favorable looks across formation under Klint Kubiak's scheme. Second-highest target earner on Raiders behind WR Jalen Nailor.

Injury Status

Healthy entering 2026.
