  "account": "The FantasyPros Staff has ranked tight end Brock Bowers as a must-have player for fantasy football drafts this year. Bowers is expected to bounce back in 2026 after suffering injuries last season, and a return to form will make him one of the best targets for tight ends. Injuries to other top players like Fernando Mendoza and Kyle Pitts have led to the Raiders having a favorable position to target Bowers late in the second round.\n\nBowers' production can rival that of Trey McBride, who had 1,200 receiving yards for the Cardinals in 2025. Producing over 1,200 yards would place Bowers in the same league as McBride next season. However, Bowers has the potential to surpass that mark, with 1,300 yards not being out of the question. If he reaches that level, it is likely that he will finish as one of the top two tight ends in PPR or standard leagues, and possibly even the No. 1 overall player at the position.",
  "summary": "Raiders star Brock Bowers is a candidate to finish as the overall TE1 in fantasy football this year, making him worth a high draft pick.",
