Starter Brock Bowers (hamstring/calf) was limited in practice this week, so let's keep an eye on that as Mayer could quickly elevate here. However, even if Bowers is on the field, the Raiders' two-TE sets keep Mayer in the mix. He caught seven of nine targets for 95 yards in the Week 6 loss to the Bills.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Mayer's 27.7 routes per game and 7-of-9 target game provide steady usage with Bowers injury risk

Mayer could elevate quickly if starter Brock Bowers (hamstring/calf) is limited; even if Bowers plays, the Raiders' two-TE sets keep Mayer in the mix. He caught seven of nine targets for 95 yards in Week 6 against the Bills and has scored 16 or more points in two of his past three games. Despite a tougher matchup versus the Rams, Mayer has averaged 27.7 routes per game over his past three games, providing steady usage. He's a quality deeper-league option.
