Expert Note
View More NotesSince Week 3, Michael Mayer has been the TE9 in fantasy points per game. In those six games, Mayer has had a 13.3% target share, 1.83 YPRR, only two deep targets, one red zone target, and an 11.9% first-read share. He has been efficient with limited volume and doesn't have much high cholesterol usage in this offense. Even if I could get past all that, he has a tough matchup this week. The 49ers have been tough on tight ends. Over their last five games, they have allowed the fifth-fewest yards per target and the tenth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity. Sit Mayer.

Fantasy Impact
Mayer and Brock Bowers led the Raiders' pass catchers, accounting for 16 of Kirk Cousins' 26 pass attempts. Mayer remains a solid option in deeper leagues with the Raiders' continuing to deploy both tight ends.
