Fantasy Football Player Notes

This has been the tale of Bowers' season all year. With the Raiders as a team holding him back, he is a name that is cemented into your lineups, despite having a low floor. Thankfully, he has overcome his situation with a top 10 finish in five of the last seven games. However, in the other two games, he finished outside of the top 20 at the position. Last week, with Kenny Pickett under center, he had one of those weeks outside the top 20. With their QB for Week 16 still uncertain, managers need to hope Geno Smith can return for a very difficult game against the Texans. On the season, the Texans are allowing the eighth fewest fantasy points to the position. Having said that, they just allowed 134 yards and two scores to Trey McBride. I'm not going to be the one to tell you to bench Bowers in the fantasy playoffs, but I also wouldn't be the one chastizing you for doing so. All I ask, it consider what other options are available before locking him into your lineup for the biggest week of the season so far.
