Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. His injury requires rest, and it looks like the Raiders might be ready to give it to him. Bowers owners should not plan on having him in Week 6 fantasy lineups. TE Michael Mayer (concussion) was a full participant on Wednesday. Barring a setback, he should be cleared for this weekend's game vs. the Titans and make for a fine Week 6 spot starter.
