Giants receiver Malik Nabers caught five passes in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, giving him 109 receptions.
Bowers entered Week 18 with the record for receptions by a rookie (at any position), lost it to Malik Nabers in the early window of games, and reclaimed in the second half of this game after being held without a reception through two quarters. Bowers easily set the records for catches and yards by a rookie tight end. He caught 112 passes for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns, falling six catches short of tying Zach Ertz for the single-season record in receptions by a tight end. Bowers had no problems earning targets with Davante Adams on the field early in the year and hit overdrive after the team sent him to New York. Even if the Raiders add more talent at receiver in the offseason, Bowers is the team's unquestioned top target heading into 2025. He will rightfully be drafted as the TE1 overall in all formats next season.
Brock Bowers hauled in his 110th reception of the season on Sunday afternoon in their matchup with the Chargers.

This makes back-to-back disappointing seasons for Hyatt, who was drafted by the Giants in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. The speedy receiver has caught just 31 passes for 435 scoreless yards in his first two years as a pro, struggling to find his footing in a Giants offense that is short on receiver talent outside of Malik Nabers. With Darius Slayton likely to depart in the offseason, a role could open up for Hyatt in 2025, but we wouldn't hold our collective breaths. Both Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson should have solidified roles for next season, leaving Hyatt to compete with whoever else is brought in during the offseason.
