The Las Vegas Raiders have officially ruled TE Brock Bower OUT for the team's Week 6 game versus the Tennessee Titans. This will be the second consecutive game that Bowers has been sidelined as he recovers from a knee injury that originally occurred in Week 1.
2025 Fantasy Football Impact
Bowers did not practice all week, so this news is not a surprise. There is growing sentiment that the Raiders could hold their star TE out until he is 100% healthy.
Las Vegas has a bye in Week 8, so fantasy managers should prepare to be without Bowers for another two weeks.
Teammate Michael Mayer has been a full participant in practice all week and will fill the void for the Raiders on Sunday. He could be a sneaky (and inexpensive) streaming option for an offense that has thrown 33% of it's passes to TEs so far in 2025.
Mayer is a high-end TE2 in our Week 6 TE PPR rankings.
