Remember that time we thought there was no way we were going to get a “Sam LaPorta” season – aka TE1 – from Las Vegas Raiders rookie TE Brock Bowers?
[Week 6 Full-PPR Fantasy Rankings: QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | FLEX | D/ST | Kickers]
Yes… we can ignore that story; After five weeks, it seems like a real possibility, as Bowers is the overall TE1 in all-PPR scoring leagues heading into Week 6, leading all tight ends in targets (35), catches (28) and receiving yards (313), while ranks second (behind only Dallas Goedert) in yards per route run (2.27). Not bad for a newcomer to an offense that hasn’t even signed a starting quarterback for Week 6, right?
Regardless of who is under center for the Raiders this week, expect Bowers to be at the forefront of the game plan at home without star Davante Adams as they host the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. While this has been a tough defensive matchup for teams overall, they have found themselves in the middle of the pack against fantasy tight ends, which could put him in position for another big fantasy day just a week after scoring his first NFL touchdown.
