Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Saturday night that Bowers is expected back after Vegas’ Week 8 bye. Michael Mayer gets another game as lead TE today after posting a 5-50-1 line on an 80% route rate last week. This matchup is tougher against Kansas City’s fourth-ranked TE defense, but Mayer remains a viable fantasy spot starter.
