Michael Mayer, I guess is going to take over. He's a good player... I absolutely think if your tight end sucks in the mix. Yeah. Michael Mayer has always been a guy who I thought is better than his, his, his like fantasy performance.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Mayer is a viable add while Bowers is out

With Brock Bowers sidelined, Michael Mayer is expected to take over the starting tight end role. He is a viable add for fantasy managers, particularly those who drafted George Kittle, who may be on a snap count in Week 1.
