From the article

Mayer played a few more snaps than Bowers in Week 4, and far more than any Raiders wide receiver. He ran routes on 69% of the plays, and it was a tad higher in Week 3. Mayer is going to play. He is pacing toward 85 receptions on 102 targets.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Mayer's route rate (69%) and target share position him as viable TE2 option.

Mayer is a solid player who showed it in Week 4 against Kansas City, hauling in 8 of 10 targets for 82 yards and scoring a touchdown in Week 3. He leads the Raiders with 20 receptions, which may not last as Bowers returns to health, but there is a path toward Mayer continuing to thrive as their No. 2 target (behind Jeanty). Mayer played more snaps than Bowers in Week 4 and ran routes on 69% of plays in Week 4 (higher in Week 3). He is pacing toward 85 receptions on 102 targets. The source suggests Mayer may be the answer at tight end after the obvious elite names.
