Raiders believe Brock Bowers could return Week 2

Sep 13, 2026

The Raiders believe there is a chance TE Brock Bowers will return in Week 2 following his meniscus trim.

Fantasy Impact:

Fantasy owners were surprised when news broke earlier in the week that Bowers had this operation and could miss some time. But if he feels well enough, he will likely be back next week against the Chargers. This would be best-case scenario for the Raiders to get their star tight end back. In the meantime, Michael Mayer is an intriguing streaming option for Sunday against the Dolphins.

49ers wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling is out at least a month with a deltoid sprain on his ankle.

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport notes that surgery is not currently planned but is a possibility as the team explores all its options. Stribling became a hot fantasy sleeper during the preseason. He was carted off during Thursday’s game in Melbourne, Australia against the Rams. Demarcus Robinson stands to see more snaps during Stribling’s absence, especially after his 39-yard touchdown catch.

The Packers and tight end Tucker Kraft agreed to terms on a four-year extension worth up to $92 million Saturday.

Fantasy Impact:

The base extension is worth $75 million and includes a $26 million signing bonus. Kraft will average $19.66 million over the first three new years of the deal, a deal that now runs through the 2030 season. Kraft has worked his way back from a torn ACL and is not on the injury report as he gets set for Sunday’s opener against the Vikings. If he stays healthy, Kraft could end up being one of the best value picks in fantasy football this season.
