Brock Bowers practised in full Thursday after being limited Wednesday with a calf injury. He played through the same injury in Week 7, catching 6 passes for 73 yards on 8 targets against the Rams.

A full practice is not a guarantee he plays, but it puts him on track for Sunday's road game against the Jets. The matchup is difficult: New York has allowed 8.0 half-PPR points a game to tight ends, the 6th fewest of 32. He ranks 2nd at tight end with a Roundup Score of 87 out of 99, and we project 12.2 half-PPR points a game he plays.

Brock Bowers

Bowers has averaged 12.8 half-PPR points over his last 3 games on 9.0 targets a game with an 84% snap share and a 23% target share. He posted 0.56 weighted opportunity rating over his last three games (1st of 106 tight ends) and a 30% air yards share (also 1st of 106 tight ends). Over his last three games he is scoring 0.6 half-PPR points a game below what his usage predicts, so his role is worth more than his recent points. Michael Mayer got 3 targets on an 82% snap share in Week 7, and Ian Thomas saw 1 target on 26% of snaps.

New York has allowed 8.0 half-PPR points a game to tight ends, the 6th fewest of 32. His receiving subscore of 95 out of 99 ranks 2nd of 107 tight ends, and his wins above replacement of 0.69 also ranks 2nd. We project 12.2 half-PPR points a game he plays, with projected points from efficiency beyond volume of 0.9 ranking 6th of 107 tight ends. He should be available Sunday, though a full practice mid-week does not guarantee he suits up.

What to do

• Hold Brock Bowers and monitor the inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff to confirm he is active.

• Temper expectations for Week 8 against a Jets defence that has allowed the 6th fewest half-PPR points to tight ends.

• His role over his last three games is worth more than his recent points, making him a hold despite the tough matchup this week.
