Michael Mayer has quietly settled in as the Raiders' second option behind Brock Bowers, posting three games above 10.5 half-PPR points since Bowers returned, each with seven or more targets. The matchup matters a lot here, and at the Jets it's a playable streaming week. FAAB: 5-10%.PositiveValueOct 20, 2026
Don't let the Brock Bowers name fool you; Mayer is the Raiders' tight end soaking up targets with 23 over the last four weeks as defenses key on Bowers; a mid-TE2 with real upside.PositiveSleeperOct 6, 2026
Caught eight passes for 82 yards on Sunday as Kirk Cousins threw for 365, and he is a sneaky bye-week fill even behind Brock Bowers in a pass-heavy Raiders attack. FAAB: 3-6%.PositiveProjectionOct 5, 2026
Mayer feasted with 8 catches for 82 yards, joining Brock Bowers in a dominant tight end performance for the Raiders despite the team's 3-1 record.NegativeValueSep 15, 2026
Michael Mayer (LV) led the Raiders in targets with six in Week 1, but cap the bid since Brock Bowers will be back soon. FAAB bid: 1-2%.PositiveUsageSep 14, 2026
Mayer was one of Kirk Cousins' primary targets in Week 1 under the Klint Kubiak offense, establishing early chemistry with the new QB.PositiveRoleSep 10, 2026
With Bowers out, Mayer becomes the primary tight end for Las Vegas. Last year in Bowers' absence, Mayer posted stat lines of 5-50-1, 1-10-0, 9-89-0, and 3-47-0, which the source characterizes as borderline top-12 TE production so long as Bowers remains sidelined.PositiveSleeperAug 11, 2026
Honorable mention as one of JJ Zachariason's most drafted TEs, benefiting from the Raiders' quiet camp status. Despite being a frequently drafted tight end, Mayer is not receiving the media amplification that louder camps generate, creating a potential value opportunity.
