Outlook Michael Mayer

Michael Mayer at New England — Viable Streaming Option After Target Surge

Mayer continues to carve out a steady complementary role in two-tight-end sets alongside Brock Bowers. After securing eight catches for 82 yards on 10 targets against Kansas City in his last outing, Mayer showed he can be a reliable check-down target for Kirk Cousins when defenses bring pressure.

Rostered in roughly 22% of leagues, Mayer's fantasy trust is beginning to rebound. Our projections slate him for around 3 receptions and 28 yards on 4 targets in Foxborough. While his weekly floor remains volatile behind Bowers, he serves as a sneaky TE2 or deep-league streamer.
