Outlook Brock Bowers

Elite Tier Tight End Primed for Massive Workload in Klint Kubiak Offense

Under new coordinator Klint Kubiak, Bowers is set to anchor the Raiders' passing game. With a quiet offseason in the wide receiver room, our models project him to dominate targets as the unquestioned TE1 on the depth chart. The addition of veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins, who praised Bowers as the best tight end in football, provides a massive upgrade under center.

Coming off a 2025 season with 735 yards and seven touchdowns in 13 games, Bowers is fully healthy. Our projections are highly optimistic, forecasting 94 receptions for 1,032 yards and seven touchdowns on 135 targets. This high-volume projection places him firmly in the elite tier, offering a massive positional advantage for fantasy managers.

In the draft market, Bowers' ADP has stabilized at 20.0, indicating premium early-round investment in 1.0 PPR formats. While some might hesitate at this high price tag, our projections view him as a stellar value. Holding a steady 75% ownership rate, he is a secure anchor with a league-winning ceiling.

Outlook Colby Parkinson

Crowded Rams Tight End Room Threatens to Cap Colby Parkinson's Fantasy Value

Colby Parkinson enters the season listed atop the Rams' tight end depth chart, but his path to consistent volume is highly congested. Los Angeles boasts a crowded room with Tyler Higbee, Terrance Ferguson, and Max Klare all vying for snaps. While Parkinson caught 49 passes for 483 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2025, repeating that scoring efficiency will be incredibly difficult in this offense.

Looking at market momentum, Parkinson's ADP has fluctuated, peaking near pick 140 in June before settling back down to 197. In PPR formats, fantasy managers are treating him as a late-round flyer, mirroring a recent slide in our ownership trends. Our projections expect a step back, forecasting 36 receptions for 350 yards and four touchdowns.

Ultimately, Parkinson is a low-risk bench option rather than a draft-day steal. His fantasy utility is heavily touchdown-dependent, making him a matchup-based streaming candidate rather than a reliable weekly starter in typical leagues.
