Brock Bowers needs to get the ball more

Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2024 draft class fared ina 23-21 loss at the Houston Texans on Sunday and ahead to Week 17’s home game against the New York Giants.

Brock Bowers:

The first-round pick had five catches for 33 yards. He has just 61 receiving yards in the past two games. He was targeted just five times and he caught all of his targets. He has been targeted four, five, eight and five times since Greg Olson took over for the fired Chip Kelly as offensive coordinator. He is averaging 5.5 targets under Olson, while he averaged 7.1 targets under Kelly. Bowers averaged nine targets a game last season.

Jackson Powers-Johnson:

The second-round pick suffered an ankle injury in Week 10 and he is on the injured reserve. He reportedly might miss the rest of the season. He was reportedly seen stretching on a side field before practice last week, which may be an encouraging sign.

D.J. Glaze:

The third-round pick allowed another sack. He has allowed 10 sacks, which is among the league leaders. It’s been a rough go for Glaze.

Decamarion Richardson:

The fourth-round pick hasn’t played on defense yet this season. He played 16 plays on special teams.

Tommy Eichenberg:

The fifth-round pick from Ohio State played 11 snaps on defense and had two tackles, one for loss. He has only played 58 defensive snaps this season, but 23 of them has come in the past two games. the Raiders might as well use him in the final two games.

Dylan Laube:

The sixth-round pick didn’t play on offense, but he did return two kicks for 47 yards.

Jonah Laulu:

Laulu, claimed last year off waivers from Indianapolis, played 64 percent of the snaps, his lowest output since Week 11. He had four tackles and one tackle for loss. It was his seventh tackle for loss this season and first since Week 6.
