Brock Bowers takes down the Jets with a pair of TD grabs in Week 8

Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers caught seven of 10 targets for 92 yards with two touchdowns in Week 8 against the New York Jets.

Why It Matters: Excluding his surprise two-game absence at the start of the season, Bowers has proven to be worth every bit of the second-round pick managers needed to grab him in most leagues. He showed again why he is one of the best tight ends in the NFL and a must-play TE1 when healthy. He has topped 70 yards in each of the six games he has appeared and now has five touchdowns. A Kirk Cousins favorite, Bowers has been targeted no fewer than eight times in any game this season. He’ll be in line for a lot of work again in Week 9 against San Francisco in a game the Raiders will likely need to air it out.
