The Raiders lost again on Sunday, this time to the Dolphins. Despite the loss, many NFL observers spoke highly of Las Vegas' rookie tight end sensation .
But Bowers' 13 catches for 126 yards and a touchdown weren't enough to top Pro Football Focus' list of this week's top-rated players. That honor goes to linebacker Robert Spillane. He recorded 11 total tackles, including five solo stops. Overall, the PFF grade was 81.5. Bowers has to settle for second place with a score of 80.7.
The top-rated Raiders in Week 11 vs. the Dolphins:
🥇 Robert Spillane – 81.5
🥈 Brock Bowers – 80.7
🥉 Kolton Miller – 80.0
🏅 Charles Snowden – 76.4
🏅 John Jenkins – 72.3— PFF Las Vegas Raiders (@PFF_Raiders)
Offensive tackle Kolton Miller and defensive linemen Charles Snowden and John Jenkins complete this week's roster.
Bowers didn't hit the Raiders' high mark this week, but as this season reaches the halfway point, it's clear he's not a future superstar; He's a superstar right now. New offensive coordinator Scott Turner used Bowers as his primary weapon Sunday in Miami and will likely continue to do so. So look for Bowers to be on this list most weeks, if not every week for the rest of the season.
