Lynn Bowden Jr. Fantasy

The New England Patriots signed wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. to a Reserve/Futures deal for the 2023 season. Bowden spent the 2022 campaign on the team's practice squad and was active in Week 9 against the Indianapolis Colts, but he played only 14 offensive snaps and wasn't targeted at all. The former third-round pick by the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020 was eventually traded to the Miami Dolphins. In 10 games for the Dolphins in 2020, Bowden caught 28 of 37 targets for 211 yards and no touchdowns. The 25-year-old will remain in New England this year and will compete for an active roster spot this summer.

The New England Patriots signed former Las Vegas Raiders and Miami Dolphins wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. to their practice squad on Thursday, according to a source. Bowden was one of the most versatile players in the country during his time at Kentucky, and he was a third-round pick by the Raiders in 2020. Despite his versatility, the 24-year-old hasn't been able to stick in the NFL yet and had 28 catches (37 targets) for 211 yards and no touchdowns in his only action for Miami in 2020. Head coach Bill Belichick could find some interesting ways to use Bowden, but for now he'll just serve as wideout depth behind Jakobi Meyers, DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne, Nelson Agholor and special teams ace Matthew Slater.

The Miami Dolphins released wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. on Tuesday, according to a source. Bowden has plenty of versatility as a running back, slot receiver and kick returner, but the Dolphins just didn't have room for him after adding Tyreek Hill and Cedrick Wilson Jr. in the offseason. The 24-year-old will surely latch on with another organization as a special teams asset, at the very least. The former third-rounder in 2020 didn't see the field at all last season, but he caught 28 of 37 targets for 211 yards and no touchdowns in 10 games (four starts) for the Dolphins in his rookie season after being acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders.
