Even in a positive game script, Mayer still saw five targets, catching four passes for 26 yards through the first three quarters. In Week 2, the Raiders are 9.5-point underdogs to the Chargers.
STACKED’s take
Mayer's $45M extension and 5 targets in positive script; more volume expected as 9.5-point underdog.
Mayer just signed a three-year, $45 million contract extension and is positioned as a key receiving weapon for the Raiders. Brock Bowers is projected to be out for at least the next couple of weeks, opening opportunity for Mayer. In Week 1, the Raiders led Miami for the entire game, yet Mayer still saw five targets, catching four passes for 26 yards through the first three quarters. In Week 2, the Raiders are 9.5-point underdogs to the Chargers (the second-largest spread in Week 2), meaning they are projected to play from behind. This negative game script should give Mayer, arguably the best receiving weapon outside of Ashton Jeanty in that offense, plenty of opportunities.
