Michael Mayer at New England — Target Surge Creates Deep Streaming Appeal
Michael Mayer operates alongside Brock Bowers in Las Vegas' heavy two-tight end packages, but he is coming off a massive Week 4 performance where he secured eight of 10 targets for 82 yards from Kirk Cousins. Despite being listed as the second tight end, his reliable hands have kept him heavily integrated into the game plan.
With injuries thinning the Raiders' wide receiver room, our models project Mayer for roughly 3 receptions and 27 yards at New England. Started in just 2% of fantasy leagues, he profiles as a viable deep-league streamer who can provide TE2 value if the red-zone targets persist.

Darius Cooper Flashes Red-Zone Magic Ahead of London Clash
Cooper has capitalized on high-leverage moments in Philadelphia's offense, converting three of his five receptions this season into touchdowns. Coming off a seven-target, two-score performance against the Rams where he operated opposite Dontayvion Wicks, Cooper has earned Jalen Hurts' trust near the goal line. With DeVonta Smith managing a hamstring injury, Cooper's role in multi-receiver sets remains intriguing.
Despite the scoring surge, Cooper remains a volatile fantasy play who relies heavily on touchdowns. Our weekly projection lands him at roughly 2.1 receptions for 24 yards (5.3 fantasy points) in London against Jacksonville. Rostered in just under four percent of leagues, he profiles as a boom-or-bust deep-league flier rather than a trusted lineup option.
