The Las Vegas Raiders will face the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding TE Brock Bowers.
Is Brock Bowers Playing in Week 11?
Bowers was listed as a full participant in Wednesday’s practice with a rib injury. Barring any unexpected setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.
We’ll continue to monitor the Raiders’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Brock Bowers in Week 11?
You read my concerns about Jakobi Meyers — you can go ahead and transfer them all to Brock Bowers (held without a red-zone target in six of nine games this season). But by playing the tight end position, we have no problem taking on more risk, and that makes the raw volume of Bowers more than enough to slot him in as a top-five option at the position week in and week out.
The rookie has at least eight targets in a position-best six games this season — and that’s plenty. You got a bargain on Bowers during your draft and can feel good about riding him for the remainder of the season, understanding that the cost is going to be significantly different entering next season.
