Outlook Michael Mayer
Michael Mayer at New England — Expanding Role Offers Streaming Appeal
Michael Mayer enters Week 5 healthy and building momentum after hauling in eight of 10 targets for 82 yards against Kansas City. Operating alongside Brock Bowers in heavy two-tight-end sets, Mayer has developed strong chemistry with Kirk Cousins when opponents bring pressure. With wideout Jalen Nailor ruled out, Las Vegas is positioned to keep utilizing multiple tight ends frequently on the road against the Patriots.
Rostered in roughly 23% of leagues, Mayer's fantasy trust is slowly rising after commanding 13 targets over his last two outings. Our projections forecast roughly 3 receptions and 28 yards, pegging him around 7.8 fantasy points. While Bowers caps his weekly ceiling, Mayer's expanding role makes him a viable deep-league streamer.

Outlook Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at Tennessee — Big-Play Threat in a Low-Scoring Divisional Clash
Noel continues to carve out a situational role in Houston's receiver rotation behind Tank Dell and Nico Collins. Offensive coordinator Nick Caley recently noted that Noel's playing time depends on package groupings rather than a lack of confidence, and Noel has maximized his chances with 102 receiving yards on five receptions over his last two contests.
While his explosive 20.4 yards per catch over the past two weeks is enticing, Noel's volume remains too limited for standard fantasy lineups. We project him for approximately two receptions and 31 receiving yards on roughly four targets in Tennessee, keeping him strictly as a deep-league flier in a game projected for low offensive scoring.
