Brock Bowers to Practice This Week

Monday, September 21, 12:30 PM

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said on Monday that tight end Brock Bowers (knee) will practice this week as the team prepares for their Week 3 battle on the road against the New Orleans Saints, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. Bowers had a meniscus trim on Sept. 8 and did not play in the first two games of the regular season. However, he returned to practice and was limited last Friday, signaling that he has a good chance to make his 2026 debut this coming weekend as long as he does not suffer any setbacks during practice this week. Michael Mayer did not really move the fantasy needle as a streaming TE in the two games that Bowers missed, catching nine of his 11 targets for 55 receiving yards. Bowers, the former 13th overall pick in 2024 from Georgia, played in only 12 games in 2025 due to injury, but he had a 1,000-yard season as a rookie and is an elite, high-end TE1 in fantasy whenever he is active. Fantasy managers are chomping at the bit to get Bowers into their lineups for Week 3.

Colston Loveland a Bust Yet Again in Week 2

Sunday, September 20, 12:13 PM

Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland had another difficult outing in Week 2, catching just one of three targets for three yards in a 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. It's yet another letdown for Loveland, who entered the season with plenty of fanfare but failed to catch a single target in a 59-37 victory against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. Chicago had a plethora of problems on Sunday, including starting quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) getting injured mid-game. Still, the second-year tight end out of Michigan hasn't lived up to his TE2 status in the RotoBaller positional ranking.
