The Raiders lost again on Sunday, this time against the Dolphins. Despite the defeat, many NFL observers were talking about Las Vegas’ rookie sensation, tight end Brock Bowers.
But Bowers’ 13 catches for 126 yards and touchdown weren’t enough to top this week’s list of top-rated players from Pro Football Focus. That honor goes to linebacker Robert Spillane. He recorded 11 total tackles, including five solo stops. They added up to an 81.5 grade from PFF. Bowers has to settle for the No. 2 spot with an 80.7 score.
The highest-graded 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 pic.twitter.com/ZGrp5YdO9X— PFF Las Vegas Raiders (@PFF_Raiders) November 18, 2024
Offensive tackle Kolton Miller and defensive linemen Charles Snowden and John Jenkins fill out this week’s list.
Bowers didn’t earn the Raiders top grade this week but as this season crosses the midway point, it’s clear that he’s not a future superstar; he’s a superstar right now. New offensive coordinator Scott Turner used Bowers as his primary weapon on 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 campaign.
