Latest Fantasy Rumors
Preseason trade candidate
WRMiami Dolphins
August 9, 2022
The Dolphins are attempting to trade Bowden, Albert Beer of Sports Illustrated reports.
ANALYSIS
Bowden is on the roster bubble after being sidelined for the entire 2021 season with a hamstring injury. He also failed to find much traction as a rookie in 2020, managing only 243 yards from scrimmage. As a result, Bowden's trade market is likely to be limited, so it may be that the Dolphins are forced to cut him if they don't plan to carry him on their roster.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Bowden, who spent the entire 2021 season sidelined due to a hamstring injury, very realistically could be on the roster bubble for Miami's new coaching staff. The 24-year-old flashed some competence as a rookie in 2020, when he racked up 28 catches for 211 yards on 37 targets through 10 appearances, but he now faces competition for even a depth gig from all of Erik Ezukanma, Preston Williams and Trent Sherfield.
After investing a third-round pick on Bowden last April, the Raiders made a surprising move to trade the Kentucky product to the Dolphins just prior to the start of the 2020 regular season. Over the course 10 appearances as a rookie, Bowden caught 28 of 37 targets for 211 yards while also logging nine carries for 32 yards. While the 5-foot-11, 187 pounder's role heading into the coming season is unclear, his versatility is an asset to Miami's offense and if injuries hit either the team's wideout or running back corps, Bowden could surface on the fantasy radar in deeper formats.
Bowden got the "Athlete" label as a four-star recruit out of high school, choosing Kentucky over some much bigger programs. Three years later, he enters the NFL as a third-round draft pick still fighting the same battle, with his long-term position unclear. He primarily played wide receiver for the Wildcats, even making the Biletnikoff Award watch list last summer. But when injuries knocked out Kentucky's top two quarterbacks early last season, Bowden pushed the coaching staff to let him take over as the signal-caller, and he went on to pile up 1,468 rushing yards and 13 TDs as a zone-read QB who rarely threw the ball. A hamstring strain prevented Bowden from working out at the 2020 combine, but he claims to consistently run the 40yard dash in the 4.4-4.5 range. The Raiders unexpectedly dealt Bowden to Miami only days before the start of the regular season, giving him the difficult task of quickly adjusting to an entirely different second offensive scheme with limited cushion. Once Bowden does get up to speed in Miami, however, he could have an easier path to touches behind Jordan Howard and Matt Breida than he did behind Josh Jacobs and Jalen Richard. The Dolphins also have a significant hole at receiver behind DeVante Parker and Preston Williams, a hint that Bowden could see more time at his primary collegiate position.
