Who Should I Start? Brock Bowers or Elijah Arroyo

Saturday, December 6, 7:02 PM

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers is coming off an awesome two-touchdown game against the Los Angeles Chargers last week. Bowers hauled in all four of his targets for 63 yards and two trips to the end zone in the loss. This marked the first time that Bowers has scored a touchdown since Week 9. Fantasy managers are finally getting the elite tight end that they drafted at the beginning of the season. The expectation is that Bowers will see heavy usage this weekend. The Raiders only have three healthy wide receivers, so there's not a ton of competition for Bowers. The 22-year-old is by far the best receiving option on the team. He was held in check during his last outing versus the Denver Broncos in Week 10, catching one of three targets for 31 yards. Bowers will seek revenge in a home matchup this weekend. Fantasy managers should plug in Bowers as a high-end TE1 for this weekend.

Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo (knee) could miss the Week 15 game against the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday after injuring his knee in Sunday's blowout win over the Atlanta Falcons, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. "This week's probably in jeopardy for him," head coach Mike Macdonald said. The 22-year-old second-rounder out of Miami was unable to haul in his only target against Atlanta before leaving the game. Arroyo has pretty much only been stash-worthy in dynasty/keeper fantasy leagues this year, as he has only 15 catches for 179 yards and one touchdown on 26 targets in his first 13 NFL games. If Arroyo cannot play in a solid matchup against Indy this weekend, fellow TE AJ Barner will have more streaming value as Seattle's top pass-catching tight end in Week 15.
