BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1
ANALYSIS: It usually takes rookie tight ends a couple of weeks to get going. However, Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers immediately showed his potential in Week 1 after catching six passes for 58 yards. Bowers also played 68% of the Raiders' offensive snaps while leading the team with eight targets.

All those stats should give fantasy managers some confidence in starting the rookie tight end moving forward. Despite the tough matchup against the Ravens secondary in Week 2, Bowers is still a strong start on Sunday.
The Raiders should be trailing a lot in this game, which could mean more opportunities for Bowers in the passing game. He is already Las Vegas' TE1 and seems to be connecting well with Gardner Minshew II. As a result, make sure to put the 21-year-old tight end in your fantasy starting lineup this weekend.
