Brock Bowers, the rookie tight end for the Las Vegas Raiders, had a quiet performance in a recent loss to the Atlanta Falcons, finishing with three receptions for 35 yards. This marks his third game in four contests where he has failed to reach 50 receiving yards. Despite the recent struggles, Bowers set a new NFL record for rookie tight ends with 87 receptions earlier in December, surpassing the previous record of 86 held by Sam LaPorta.

• Bowers has shown potential throughout the season, but his recent performances have been underwhelming.
• Despite a drop in usage, he remains a talented player worth starting in upcoming games.
