How Much Should Fantasy Managers Worry About Brock Bowers After the Cousins Trade?

Brock Bowers was coming off a stellar game in Week 9 while facing the San Francisco 49ers as he had 111 yards and a touchdown. Just two days later, and his improving outlook now takes a complete change.

The Raiders went on to trade Kirk Cousins to the Minnesota Vikings, leading to Fernando Mendoza now being the new starter. Bowers will still be a top tight end, but he now enters an unclear situation.

Why the Raiders’ Quarterback Change Matters for Brock Bowers

Over seven games while playing with Cousins, Bowers turned 70 targets into 48 receptions for 658 yards and six touchdowns. Bowers is the best pass catcher to help Mendoza adjust to being the starter, but how much success Bowers is able to still produce in this new offense will truly test his ceiling the rest of the season.
