Michael Mayer at New England — Surging Target Share Brings Streaming Appeal
Michael Mayer continues to carve out standalone value in Las Vegas' heavy two-tight-end packages, coming off an impressive 10-target, eight-catch performance against Kansas City. Operating alongside Brock Bowers, Mayer's role could expand further this week with Bowers managing a knee injury that limited him in practice.
Rostered in 22% of leagues, Mayer represents an intriguing streaming option against New England. We project him for roughly 3.3 catches and 28 receiving yards (7.8 fantasy points), but his red-zone involvement and potential target bump make him a viable deep-league start with TE1 upside if Bowers is slowed.

Isaiah Williams vs. Browns at Home — Slot Role Expands After Big-Play Splash
Williams established momentum last week by turning heads with a 58-yard touchdown reception against Chicago. Operating as the Jets' primary slot receiver, his path to playing time looks clearer with Omar Cooper on injured reserve and Adonai Mitchell managing a finger injury. Even with Garrett Wilson anchoring the passing attack, Williams has carved out regular slot snaps.
Fantasy managers should temper expectations despite the recent splash, as Williams remains rostered in just 2% of leagues. Facing a tough Cleveland defense in a projected low-scoring contest, our projections peg him for around 3 catches and 32 receiving yards (7.1 fantasy points). That keeps him on the radar primarily as a deep-league flier.
