Outlook Michael Mayer
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.

Outlook Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane vs CIN at home — emerging role in a potential shootout
After missing four games on injured reserve following wrist surgery, Lane returned smoothly in Week 6, hauling in four of five targets for 40 yards. Baltimore lists the talented rookie as an outside starter on the depth chart, and with Rashod Bateman currently questionable due to a shoulder injury, Lane could see expanded perimeter snaps.
While this home matchup against Cincinnati features high-scoring potential, our weekly projection remains conservative at 1.2 receptions for 16 yards and 3.8 fantasy points. Rostered in 25% of leagues and started in only 2%, Lane is a promising stash rather than a player fantasy managers should rush into starting lineups.
