Brock Bowers exploded for 103 yards on five catches in Week 1 before leaving with a knee issue that required on-site evaluation. The Raiders removed him for the rest of the game, and tests will reveal the seriousness and timeline for his return. The injury reshapes the Raiders’ aerial plan as they lean on run-heavy concepts and their remaining weapons.

In Bowers’ absence, Michael Mayer is primed for a bigger target share, while Elandon Roberts’ sprained elbow adds to the team’s highlighted concerns. The update streamlines fantasy pivots toward Mayer and raises questions about the Raiders’ Week 2 approach while the knee tests are pending results.
