Trevor Etienne vs TB — Minimal Role in Carolina Keeps Him Off Fantasy Radars
Etienne is fully healthy after his preseason ailment, but he remains firmly behind starter Chuba Hubbard in Carolina's backfield. Even with fellow reserve AJ Dillon dealing with an ankle issue, Etienne logged just one carry for negative yardage in his sole appearance, underlining how difficult it is for him to carve out meaningful touches right now.
Our weekly projection expects another quiet outing, slating him for roughly 14 rushing yards on three to four carries alongside minimal passing-game involvement. With an ownership rate hovering near two percent and virtually nonexistent starting numbers, fantasy managers should leave Etienne firmly on the bench or waivers this week against Tampa Bay.

Michael Mayer vs. Rams — Streamer Upside in High-Scoring Matchup
Mayer is coming off a season-best performance where he set a career high with 95 receiving yards on seven receptions. Operating alongside Brock Bowers in Las Vegas's tight end-heavy offense, Mayer has commanded 19 targets over his past three outings, proving he possesses a meaningful role in the passing attack with Kirk Cousins under center.
Our weekly projection sits at 6.8 fantasy points on roughly three catches for 27 yards. With an appealing 48.5 projected game total at home against the Rams, Mayer represents an intriguing streaming option for managers needing tight end help, though his volatile week-to-week target floor makes him a riskier start in shallower formats.
