2026 Outlook
Bowers was the second-highest scoring fantasy tight end on a per-game basis as a rookie, posting 14.0 fantasy points per game. He started strong with a 5-103-0 stat line in Week 1 of 2025 but suffered a knee injury that limited him to 51% of snaps. After attempting to play through pain for several games, he sat out for a month before returning. He finished the 2025 season as TE4 in fantasy points per game despite playing at less than 100%. For 2026, Bowers should return to full health and will benefit from upgrades in coaching staff, quarterback play, and offensive line. He has the best chance of anyone on the 2026 market to take the fantasy TE crown from Trey McBride and will be a difference-maker for those who target him in drafts. The 23-year-old has top-tier potential once healthy (per Several notable WR and TE injuries could impact 2026 fantasy football outlooks).
