Michael Mayer was considered an intriguing tight end prospect, considering that the Raiders selected a generational one in Brock Bowers in the following case. Remember, Mayer was widely projected to be drafted ahead of Sam LaPorta, where he was an early second-rounder. The Raiders are expected to use more 2-TE sets under Klint Kubiak, which should give Mayer more opportunities.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Mayer's 2-TE opportunity under Kubiak and Bowers' injury upside justify buy-low.

Mayer was widely projected as an early second-rounder, ahead of Sam LaPorta, but has been overlooked due to the Raiders selecting Brock Bowers. While overall numbers are modest, Mayer showed flashes when Bowers missed time, including nine catches for 89 yards against the Giants. The Raiders are expected to use more 2-TE sets under Klint Kubiak, which should increase Mayer's opportunities. The source suggests buying low now before he potentially becomes a productive starter elsewhere.
