STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Mayer elevated to Raiders' TE1 with strong usage metrics as Bowers shifts to WR.

After Brock Bowers' injury, Mayer became the Raiders' primary tight end target. With a 79.1% route rate, 19.1% targets per route run, and 17.7% slot snap rate, Mayer approaches the benchmarks for high-end TE starters (80.8% route rate, 23.5% TPRR). Without a primary WR, Mayer becomes the main receiving option as Bowers transitions to an alpha "WR" role.
