Brock Bowers has been nominated for NFL Rookie of the Week following another impressive showing in Week 7's matchup.
The No. 13 pick recorded a game-high 10 catches and 93 receiving yards in the Raiders' 20-15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He was tied for the most receptions of any player in Week 7 and currently ranks second in the NFL in that same category (47). Additionally, he holds the highest grade offensive grade (88.3) of any tight end by Pro Football Focus.
With his performance, he became the first rookie tight end in NFL history with 8+ catches in three straight games and now holds the franchise record for most receptions and receiving yards in a player's first seven career games.
"He's just consistently showing up when we need him," Antonio Pierce said postgame. "Obviously, you see we're trying to feature him and get him going. He's doing the best he can and does a lot of good things for us."
This guy has just been amazing - think he will be my TE1 for the next 5 years at least

An interesting article about Tua's concussion for anyone interested.

Do you have Drake London?
Last 3 scores :- 54, 32 & 30
The 54 was v Tampa Bay who he plays again this week, they have allowed the 2nd most yards against on average (386) this season. The only team that has allowed more is the Saints who he plays in 3 weeks time, Cowboys in 2 weeks that are giving up 356 yards a game on average also. So he has a very nice upcoming draw that he could cash in on.

I have Kupp so I don't need to choose but I think @Shannon is on to something with London.
I've been slow to warm up to London but his stat.s speak for themselves:
#4 in targets - 62; #3 in catches - 44; equal #3 in TDs - 5; #2 in red zone targets - 14; #1 in red zone catches - 12.
So I'm trading him in for Godwin.
It's a little surprising he's only #10 on RDT in average points per game.
But that includes a 5 in wk.01 when Atlanta had it's first game under new coaches.
His average since then of 32.17 would rank him #7
Given 3 above him are out injured - Collins, Rice and Godwin - he's looking likely to be top-6.
As Shannon points out, he's got a decent run coming up.
Different web-sites rank his rest of season SOS as #10/#11.
That may not sound the best but it's much the same as, or better than, any of the other top WRs.
The one potential down-side: he has the same wk.12 bye as many other WRs - Cooper, Chase and Higgins, Thomas Jnr, Olave and Shaheed, Wilson and Adams.
Having even two of them could be an issue if injuries hit any other of your WRs.
I now have three - Chase, London and Thomas Jnr - and I'll be moving Thomas Jnr on before their bye.

Pre season, the Rd 14 bye looked as if it could be a bit ugly but as things turn out I am finding Rd 12 for RB could be messy as well. That round sees Bijan, James Cook, Bigsby, Kamara and Hall all out of action. Depending on your RB structure and other trades you may need to use that round it could get a bit tight. For those bringing in D London as a WR other Rd 12 outs are J Chase, G Wilson and Amari Cooper.
