BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: High-End TE1
ANALYSIS: Bowers has been one of the few bright spots at the tight end position early in the season, and he’s currently the PPR TE2.

Yeah it’s only been 2 weeks, but I’ve seen all I need to see.

Per Fantasy Points Data Suite, Bowers has a 26% Targets Per Route Run (TPRR) and a 2.46 Yards Per Route Run (YPRR). These are extremely encouraging marks, and a good score in these metrics indicates a high likelihood of fantasy football success.
Bowers is coming off his worst game of the season in a Week 3 loss to the Carolina Panthers, and this week goes up against a Cleveland Browns defense that ranks 17th in DVOA against opposing tight ends. Cleveland also allows just 41 yards per game to tight ends, so this may not be the best matchup for Bowers. However, with Davante Adams and Michael Mayer being ruled out earlier today, Bowers is set to be the team's top pass catcher.
Gamers can confidently start Bowers this week as he’s been one of the few tight ends who’s been good this year. He’s a talented player and should be the focal point of the Raiders’ offense in Week 4.
