Audric Estime vs CLE — Backup Role Opens Against Former Team

Fresh off being claimed off waivers from Cleveland, Estime steps directly into a revenge spot against his former squad. With Travis Etienne Jr. sidelined on injured reserve and CJ Donaldson ruled out with an injury, Estime is positioned to serve as the primary power backup behind Alvin Kamara in a crowded New Orleans backfield.

Our weekly projection forecasts Estime for roughly 8 carries, 21 rushing yards, and 7.7 fantasy points, heavily relying on goal-line scoring chances for fantasy viability. Started in less than 3% of leagues, he is purely a touchdown-dependent stash or desperation option who belongs on benches in typical formats.

Outlook Michael Mayer

Michael Mayer at San Francisco — Streaming Appeal in a High-Scoring Matchup

Operating behind Brock Bowers in the Raiders' multi-tight-end packages, Mayer has maintained steady involvement with eight catches across his past two games. Las Vegas travels to face a 6–1 49ers squad as substantial road underdogs in a contest featuring a high 52 projected total, setting up a potentially pass-heavy game script.

Currently rostered in 30% of leagues and started in only 7%, Mayer is projected by our models for roughly four catches and 32 yards. While sharing snaps and targets with Bowers limits his scoring upside, the expected trailing environment offers enough reception floor to make him a viable deep-league streaming option.
