Michael Mayer was considered an intriguing tight end prospect... Mayer was widely projected to be drafted ahead of Sam LaPorta, where he was an early second-rounder. While the overall numbers aren't anything to write home about, Mayer showed some flashes, especially when Bowers missed time... 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 two-TE upside under Kubiak and Bowers' injury flashes justify the TE38 price.

Mayer is available at a cheap price (ECR: TE38) as a buy-low candidate despite being overshadowed by Brock Bowers, the Raiders' generational tight end prospect. Mayer was widely projected as an early second-rounder ahead of Sam LaPorta before the draft. While overall numbers are modest, he showed flashes when Bowers missed time, including nine catches for 89 yards against the Giants. Under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, the Raiders are expected to use more two-tight-end sets, which should increase Mayer's opportunities. The source suggests he could become a productive starter elsewhere down the road.
