Raiders tight end Michael Mayer will miss the upcoming game against the Broncos due to personal reasons. In his absence, rookie tight end Brock Bowers saw a significant increase in his route participation, achieving a season-high 81% route rate last week. This performance positions Bowers as a favorable option for fantasy players in Week 5.
