Should I Start Brock Bowers?

Brock Bowers Trending Toward Missing Week 5

Saturday, October 4, 4:14 PM

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (knee) is trending toward missing Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Indianapolis Colts, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The star tight end is currently listed as questionable after missing his last two practice sessions. Rapoport notes that head coach Pete Carroll previously expressed optimism about Bowers' status, but his knee has not responded well, and he's trending in the wrong direction. Fantasy managers will get confirmation on his status at 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday. If Bowers is active, managers should start him in all leagues. If he doesn't play, managers can pivot to one of the top streamers on RotoBaller's Week 5 tight end rankings. Bowers' backup, Michael Mayer, could be a solid mid-to-high TE2 option.
