Bowers is having arguably the greatest season for rookie tight end that we’ve ever seen. Think back to how well Tommy Tremble played against the Buccaneers, and now imagine what Brock Bowers is going to do against that same defense. I think we’re looking at 10 catches for 100-plus yards and a touchdown.
Will Dissly, Chargers
The Chiefs have the third-worst DVOA against opposing tight ends and have let up the third most catches to the position, too. Dissly has been a very reliable receiver for Justin Herbert and should continue that trend, catching at least five passes and going for 12-16 fantasy points.
Jake Ferguson, Cowboys
Ferguson has been out for a couple of weeks with a bad concussion, but he’s trending toward playing on Monday night. Cincinnati’s defense has allowed the fifth most receiving yards to opposing tight ends, and I think this game is going to explode with a lot of offensive fireworks. Look for Ferguson to get 60 to 70 yards receiving and a touchdown.
Cade Otton, Bucs
The Raiders have allowed the 4th most receptions to opposing tight ends. Additionally, Mike Evans doesn’t look like he’s 100%, so Baker Mayfield might throw the ball more to Otton than he did last week. The key thing when playing tight ends is to look for touchdown equity. Otton has that in spades and scores.
Juwan Johnson, Saints
The Giants allow the highest catch percentage to opposing tight ends in the league. With Taysom Hill out for the season with a horrific knee injury, Johnson steps in to be the TE 1, and with that, expect to see 6 catches for 70 yards and a touchdown.
