Although the Las Vegas Raiders have the worst record in the NFL of 2-11, one of their bright spots is their rookie TE Brock Bowers. He is second in the NFL in receiving yards and receptions among TEs. Bowers has 87 catches for 933 yards and four touchdowns this season.
Tonight, the Raiders host the 6-7 Atlanta Falcons at 8:30 p.m. ET. The Raiders have lost their previous nine games, while the Falcons are on a four-game losing streak. Below, I detail some Brock Bowers prop bets for tonight’s matchup vs. the Falcons.
Best Brock Bowers Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Brock Bowers over 6.5 receptions (-120)
In the 13 games Bowers has played in this season, he has had seven or more receptions in six of them. Although he has only hit that mark in two of the previous four games, he has finished with double-digit targets in three.
Bowers is fifth in the NFL in targets, and although the Raiders QB situation has been unstable, Bowers has still figured out a way to make an impact. Last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Bowers only caught three balls on five targets for 49 yards. That was the first time since October 27 that Bowers had five or fewer targets.
Even though the Raiders offense hasn’t scored 20 points since Week 9, they will have a good chance to get back on track against the Falcons. Atlanta has allowed 38 or more points in two of the previous three games. Bowers has been the Raiders’ best-receiving option this season, and he will unlikely have two straight-down weeks.
Brock Bowers under 63.5 receiving yards (-110)
Yes, Bowers has received a ton of targets lately, but they haven’t necessarily translated to receiving yards. He has totaled at least 64 yards in six games this season. He has only hit that total once in the past three weeks. Bowers has two games with 100 or more yards in the last six weeks. But in that span, those are the only two times he has recorded over 63.5 receiving yards.
Bowers has shown that he has a ton of upside and has the potential to go off in any game, but with Desmond Ridder expected to start, it is hard to trust him to gain 64 yards. You can get his under yards at -110 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
