Bijan Robinson vs Brock Bowers

“In PPR leagues at pick two, you’re choosing between Jahmyr Gibbs, Ja’Marr Chase or Bijan Robinson . 2.11: Derrick Henry (RB – BAL It’s very rare for me to draft two running backs in the first two rounds in PPR leagues, but I can’t pass up Derrick Henry this late in the second round.”

“List of RBs last season with at least 400 receiving yards and 1,000 rushing yards: CMC, Bijan Robinson , Jahmyr Gibbs , De’Von Achane , and Chase Brown .”

“Robinson is my favorite bet to be the RB1 overall in 2026.”

“Last year, Bijan Robinson was the RB2 in fantasy points per game. For most of the season, he was pacing towards a 1,000-yard season for rushing and receiving before tailing off at the end of the season (820 receiving yards).”

“Meanwhile, Bijan Robinson is the top overall player on my board and should see a spike in goal-line rushing work with Tyler Allgeier finally gone.”

“To kick things off, I went with Bijan Robinson. He just got a massive extension, and he’ll touch the ball well over 300 times in an offense that’ll rely heavily on him.”

“The Case for Bijan Robinson Since entering the league in 2023, Robinson has established himself as an elite running back.”

“Last year’s PPR RB2 in fantasy points per game, and now free from Tyler Allgeier , Bijan Robinson feels primed to take a big step forward in 2026.”

“Round 1 starts with a coin flip between Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs at the top — Fitzmaurice gives a slight edge to Robinson’s bigger frame, but calls it close enough that he’d be comfortable with either in different leagues. Whichever one he lands, he’s generally committing to a Hero RB build and staying away from a second running back for several rounds.”

“Bijan Robinson Love has yet to play an NFL snap; Bijan has 5,600+ career yards and 34 TDs”

“There are great expectations for Brock Bowers in his third NFL season following an injury-plagued Year 2. Bowers had five catches for 103 yards in the Raiders’ 2025 season opener against the Patriots, but he sustained a PCL injury and bone bruise to his left knee in that game, was clearly hampered over his next three games (with under 50 receiving yards in each) and was shut down for three games.”

“Brock Bowers (TE – LV) Hopefully, Bowers stays healthy after missing five games because of injury in 2025. However, he was still a fantasy star when on the field, ranking as the TE2 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 14.7 PPR fantasy points per game.”

“The same holds true for tight end, where half of the teams will be fielding Brock Bowers , Trey McBride , Colston Loveland or Tyler Warren .”

“However, he was still a fantasy star when on the field, ranking as the TE2 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 14.7 PPR fantasy points per game. Despite the awful offense and playing in five fewer games, Bowers had more receiving touchdowns last year than as a rookie (seven vs. five).”

“With Klint Kubiak in town, Fernando Mendoza or Kirk Cousins at the helm, a healthy Brock Bowers , and improved blocking up front, Jeanty could be poised to post a strong RB1 season in his second season. After the injury scare over the weekend concerning Ashton Jeanty , it was believed that Mike Washington Jr. would go screaming up the draft boards.”

“During his three seasons in Baltimore, Mark Andrews remained a major part of the offense: 2025 : 16th among tight ends in fantasy points; 13th in touchdowns 2024 : 5th among tight ends in fantasy points; 1st in touchdowns 2023 : 15th among tight ends in fantasy points; 2nd in touchdowns Before Baltimore, Monken spent three seasons at Georgia, where he coached Brock Bowers. In 2021 and 2022, Bowers posted at least 850+ receiving yards in each season and combined for 20 receiving touchdowns.”

“After all, TE1 Brock Bowers goes around the mid-2nd round, after selecting approximately 18 RBs and WRs. If we’re confident Bowers finishes as the overall TE1, that could make sense. But we also know that around half of those RBs and WRs will bust, which means plenty of candidates can still score 250 at those positions.”

“Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty are unique, as they can definitely coexist. Jeanty will run a bunch and catch a lot of passes, while Bowers will have wide receiver-esque production in this offense, with a target share that could reach 30%.”

“Brock Bowers (TE – LV) Going around the 21st overall pick, Bowers has real belief behind him as a potential consensus first-round pick a year from now.”

“A fully healthy Brock Bowers with improved quarterback play, an improved offensive line and really no new weapons to compete with means the possibility of a 30% target share.”

“They also have Brock Bowers fully healthy, which is a massive addition to the offense as a whole.”

“He’s the one player I wouldn’t want to miss out on, as he’ll likely be the TE1 this season if he can stay healthy. Bowers will be the No. 1 receiver for this Raiders offense led by Kirk Cousins and/or Fernando Mendoza .”
