Who Should I Start? Brock Bowers or Tyler Warren

Saturday, August 16, 6:45 PM

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers has seen his role shift under the new coaching staff in preseason games this year. After a dominant rookie year with 112 receptions for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns, Bowers was out-snapped 8-to-5 by Michael Mayer on Saturday. Mayer handled most first- and second-down work, while Bowers appeared primarily on third downs and passing situations. It's unclear if this is simply preseason management to limit wear and tear or an early sign of a new rotation. While still a TE1 with elite upside, Bowers' usage should be monitored heading into Week 1.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren caught one of his three targets for a 25-yard gain in a 23-19 preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers on Saturday. Warren continues to look sharp for the Colts after they used the No. 14 overall pick in the draft to select him. He has now caught four of his seven targets for 65 yards through two preseason games. Warren is worth a look as a low-end TE1 in fantasy drafts as the regular season approaches.
