Outlook Michael Mayer
Michael Mayer vs. Rams — Streamer Upside in High-Scoring Environment
Michael Mayer is coming off a career-high 95-yard performance against Buffalo, proving he can produce despite operating behind Brock Bowers on the depth chart. Working primarily in two-tight-end sets for Kirk Cousins, Mayer's recent spike in usage has pushed his roster rate up to 40% across fantasy leagues.
In a matchup with shootout potential against the Rams, our projections slate Mayer for 3.3 receptions, 29.2 receiving yards, and 7.1 fantasy points. While his weekly floor remains volatile in a secondary role, his recent target volume makes him an appealing streaming candidate and deep-league flex option.

Jordan Watkins at Atlanta — Elevated Opportunity Amid Wide Receiver Injuries
With both Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel Sr. ruled out due to injuries, Jordan Watkins steps into an expanded role in San Francisco's passing attack. Watkins has already seen starting reps recently and made the most of his limited opportunities, turning three targets into 82 yards across two games this season.
Our weekly projection anticipates roughly two receptions for 32 yards in what shapes up as a high-scoring indoor matchup against the Falcons. While his 2% roster rate reflects heavy volatility, the depleted depth chart puts him on the radar as a sneaky deep-league flyer or DFS dart throw.
