Michael Mayer vs. Rams — Streaming Tight End Upside After Career-Best Outing
Mayer is coming off a career-high 95-yard performance on seven receptions against Buffalo, earning nine targets as the Raiders lean heavily into two-tight-end sets. While listed behind Brock Bowers on the depth chart, Mayer's involvement in Klint Kubiak's offense has surged, drawing 19 targets across two of his last three contests.
With fantasy managers pushing his roster rate up toward 40%, Mayer enters Week 7 as an intriguing streamer in a projected high-scoring matchup against the Rams. Our weekly projection expects 3.3 receptions for 28 yards (7.1 fantasy points), giving him low-end TE1 upside if Las Vegas remains in a pass-heavy script.

Outlook Omar Cooper
Omar Cooper vs. Dolphins — Rookie breakout aims to stay hot at home
Fresh off earning NFL Rookie of the Week honors, Omar Cooper exploded in his return from an ankle injury with six catches for 103 yards and a touchdown. Operating as the Jets' starting slot receiver alongside Garrett Wilson, the rookie demonstrated electric after-the-catch playmaking and immediately earned a prominent role in the offense.
Cooper's roster rate jumped past 71% this week, though our weekly projection remains conservative at 3.3 fantasy points on 1.3 receptions for 15 receiving yards against a winless Miami team. While low overall game-scoring expectations temper his floor, his explosive big-play ability makes him a viable Flex/Stream option in deeper formats.
