Michael Mayer

Michael Mayer has failed to secure a significant role in Las Vegas, seeing his dynasty stock fall sharply as the Raiders invest in Brock Bowers and use Mayer primarily as a blocking tight end. His current value (TE37, Tier 41) places him behind unproven rookies and waiver-wire options, and he offers no redraft relevance. Mayer's collegiate profile and draft capital once hinted at upside, but his lack of production, declining trend, and limited pass-catching usage present major risks. Unless he’s traded or the depth chart clears dramatically, Mayer is a hold in very deep TE-premium leagues but a clear avoid in most formats.
