From the episode

Oh, Michael Mayer. I don't normally do like one injury weight tight ends, but if Brock Bowers goes down, Michael Mayer is going to smash. And so I take that a lot. Mayer might even have standalone value.

Mayer is a smash play if Bowers gets hurt; has some standalone value.

JJ Zachariason identifies Michael Mayer as a one-injury-away tight end play; if Brock Bowers goes down, Mayer will "smash." Zachariason notes that Mayer might even have standalone value, offering "a couple of just random, you know, off weeks where he's usable," suggesting some floor even without an injury to Bowers.
