TE Brock Bowers, LV (2 Viewers)

[TheDirtyWord]

I think one of the issues with Bowers past the knee is just how bad Geno has been. I know you can apply logic that when Bowers is fully healthy, that's a different dynamic for the offense.

But I'm simply unsure that 'this' is what is killing Geno.

I'm just waiting on the news he's been placed on IR. But knowing the Raiders, they'll keep rolling him out there as a decoy for another few weeks, so by the time they DO decide to shut him down...it will be the fantasy playoffs. Wait for it.

I could see it, knowing the Raiders they totally messed this up. My Gut tells me they sit him this week because its the Titans so he's healthy for the Chiefs

Well, not like they are a lock over the Titans. Pete needs a win. If they lose to the Titans, big moral problems. Bowers plays if he’s able, even if not 100 percent.

And therein lies the problem. He's not 100%, it's the knee, and he'll basically just be a decoy and not get any passes. They roll him out there and risk the knee getting worse. If a couple weeks rest is all it needs, then that should be what they give him to keep the knee healthy for the long run (future years, not this year...it's over for the Raiders). They're gonna cause the knee to get worse and WILL have to put him on IR. The incompetence is rampant with that franchise.

They should have done it weeks ago, but not expecting it now.

Would keep him out till week 11. Now I can't say they won't do it, because per Dr. Chao last week if he has a bone bruise he should be sitting out multiple weeks.

But the bye week in 8 would in theory allow them to hold him about a month in total and return in week 9.

When he was first injured, you mentioned that a PCL sprain is a 4-6 week injury and would typically require an IR stint. Given that he was playing on it and had a setback in week 4, returning in that 9-11 timeframe makes sense.

Pete Carroll said Brock Bowers “isn’t quite ready yet” and more than likely will be out this Sunday.However, tight end Michael Mayer “had a great week” and will be good to start against the Titans.#Raiders

 

[bolzano]

I’m rolling with Mayer this week. He should play in 11 and 12 personnel + all downs, as he’s a trusted run blocker. So the snaps and routes run should be there. I think he’s a sneaky pickup while Bowers is out.
