Brock Bowers Named AFC Offensive Player of the Week

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week after a stellar 2026 debut following meniscus surgery and a knee procedure, recording 10 catches for 116 yards and a touchdown in a 35-27 win over New Orleans. He became the third non-WR in NFL history to surpass 1,900 receiving yards through his first 30 career games. Head coach Klint Kubiak heavily featured Bowers, who ran a route on 94.6% of dropbacks and commanded a 50% first-read target rate.
