don't overlook the talented Mayer, who was a second-round pick three years ago after a strong career at Notre Dame (he's the most productive receiving tight end in Notre Dame history). Mayer's best NFL start wasn't long ago — a snappy 8-89-0 run against the Giants last December — and Kirk Cousins often locks in on his tight ends. Miami was very poor in tight end coverage last year.

Mayer fills Bowers void with upside; strong TE history and favorable Miami matchup.

Raiders TE Mayer (11% rostered) is positioned as a beneficiary to Brock Bowers' meniscus trim surgery (1-2 games missed). Mayer was a second-round pick three years ago with a strong Notre Dame career (most productive receiving tight end in Notre Dame history); his best NFL start came recently with an 8-89-0 line against the Giants last December. Kirk Cousins often locks in on his tight ends, and Miami was very poor in tight end coverage last year, making this a favorable matchup.
