Michael Mayer caught 5-of-6 targets for 53 yards in the Raiders’ Week 8 win over the Jets. 2026-11-01 20:00:02 This was Mayer’s fourth five-catch outing of the season. Only Brock Bowers caught more passes this afternoon. It could have been a bigger day in fantasy, but Mayer’s unconverted look was an inaccurate goal-line pass he short-armed. Mayer has a reasonable enough PPR TE2 floor, but his spiked week potential remains limited enough that he is not a very exciting streamer. |

Michael Mayer caught all three of his targets for 32 yards in the Raiders’ Week 7 loss to the Rams. 2026-10-25 22:00:03 Mayer benefited from a pass-heavy second half for the Raiders as they once again faced a big deficit. He ran a pass route on 38 of the Raiders’ 49 drop backs. With four games of at least five targets, Mayer profiles as a desperation play in tight end premium games and a 12-team option if Brock Bowers misses time. |

Michael Mayer caught 7-of-9 targets for 95 yards in the Raiders’ Week 6 loss to the Bills. 2026-10-18 21:00:02 |

Michael Mayer caught 8-of-10 targets for 82 yards in the Raiders’ Week 4 loss to the Chiefs. 2026-10-04 21:00:03 Mayer’s 10 targets were just one fewer than what Brock Bowers (11) saw on the day. Mayer made the most of his opportunities, racking up 82 yards—the second most in his career and saw four of his receptions come on the Raiders’ first four drives of the game. On the Raiders’ fourth drive, Mayer hauled in passes of two, seven, and 17 yards, with his longest catch setting up a 48-yard field goal just before halftime to put them up 13-10. We shouldn’t expect this level of production from Mayer on a weekly basis, but the Raiders’ underwhelming WR corps could pave the way for more opportunities for Mayer going forward after this solid outing. There’s a lot to like here, but Mayer will be a boom-or-bust TE2 next week against the Patriots until we see reliable target totals on a more consistent basis, while he shares the field with Brock Bowers. |

Michael Mayer caught 3-of-3 targets for 32 yards and one touchdown in the Raiders’ Week 3 win over the Saints. 2026-09-27 21:00:02 Mayer scored with just under six minutes left in the first half. Coach Klint Kubiak sent TE Brock Bowers in motion, back and forth across the formation, behind the line of scrimmage, before QB Kirk Cousins executed the play-action fake. Mayer ran an out route from the slot and shook S Justin Reid on the cut before quickly hauling in the pass. Mayer’s other two catches both went for double-digit yardage gains. He will be a viable high-end TE2 moving forward, with defenses focused on stopping Bowers. |
