Yahoo Sports NFL on Michael Mayer

Mayer emerges as TE1 with Bowers shifting to WR role; usage metrics support streaming value.

Mayer returned as Las Vegas's TE1 after Bowers' injury, posting TE19 and TE25 finishes as emotional compensation for those who drafted Bowers. Going forward, without a primary WR, Mayer becomes the main tight end as Bowers takes the alpha 'WR' role; his 79.1% route rate, 19.1% targets per route run, and 17.7% slot snap rate position him as a viable pivot with eight targets per game over his last two weeks.
