FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast on Michael Mayer

Mayer's target volume and role as Kirk Cousins' preferred TE option offer upside.

Mayer, rostered in 30%, has commanded 9+ targets in 2 of his last 3 games with Brock Bowers also in the lineup. He's running 2.1 yards per route (second on team to Bowers), drawing targets on 23% of routes, and gaining first downs on 13% of routes. The source acknowledges a tough stretch ahead (Rams, Jets, 49ers, Seahawks all bottom 5 in points allowed to TE), but notes that if the Raiders chase points, targets may funnel Mayer's direction since Bowers and Mayer are the preferred options in the offense with a dull WR room.
