Michael Mayer vs. MIA — Stepping Into a Primary Role with Brock Bowers Sidelined
Fresh off signing a lucrative three-year contract extension, Michael Mayer enters Week 1 with an immediate opportunity to lead the Raiders' tight end room against Miami. With starting tight end Brock Bowers ruled out due to a knee injury, Mayer steps into the primary tight end role in coordinator Klint Kubiak's offense, catching passes from Kirk Cousins.
Mayer's fantasy stock is climbing rapidly, seeing his roster rate jump to nearly 40% across leagues. Our models project him for around 3 receptions and 31 yards with red-zone upside, making him an intriguing streaming candidate. While the matchup features a modest scoring projection, Mayer offers a viable floor and streaming appeal for tight-end-needy fantasy managers.

Jacoby Brissett at Chargers — Trailing Script Points to Sneaky Volume
Recently named a team captain, Brissett enters Week 1 as Arizona's starter under center, flanked by talented pass-catchers Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride. However, the offense faces an early test with guard Isaiah Adams ruled out, which could leave Brissett under pressure against a stout Chargers front.
As heavy road underdogs in a projected high-scoring dome matchup, Arizona should be forced into a pass-heavy script. Our models project Brissett for 220 passing yards and 1.4 touchdowns (13.8 fantasy points). Rostered in just 9% of leagues, he remains firmly a Superflex option or deep-league streamer rather than a standard starter.
