Who Should I Start? Brock Bowers or Emeka Egbuka

Monday, September 15, 8:47 PM

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (knee) is officially active for Monday night's divisional clash in Sin City against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Bowers suffered a knee injury in the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots and was listed as questionable for Week 2 on Saturday's final injury report. The 22-year-old second-year tight end will be wearing a brace on his left knee against the Bolts and shouldn't be limited, so fantasy managers who rolled the dice on him on Monday night will have him available. If Bowers is limited at all, it will open up more opportunities for fellow TE Michael Mayer, who is more than capable of having a decent game for any tight end streamers. Bowers had five catches for 105 yards in the season opener before injuring his knee, and he's already one of the best TEs in football in his sophomore campaign.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka built on his strong NFL debut with another good game in Week 2. He helped the Bucs overcome the Texans in Houston on Monday Night with four catches for 29 yards and his third touchdown of the season. Egbuka was second on the team in targets with seven passes thrown his way by Baker Mayfield. He could have had an even bigger game if he had been able to bring in either of his two deep targets, so the potential for even more production is still there for the exciting rookie out of Ohio State. He and the Bucs take on the Jets in Week 3, and if he continues to be the team's second receiver, he'll once again bring a very high ceiling, especially with Sauce Gardner focused on locking down Mike Evans. Egbuka now has eight catches on 13 targets for 96 yards and three touchdowns in his two NFL games.
