Michael Mayer

Michael Mayer had a somewhat disappointing rookie season for the Raiders, with 27 catches for 304 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games. He seemed like a candidate for a second-year breakout, but then the Raiders spent their first-round draft pick on mega-talented University of Georgia TE Brock Bowers, seemingly kneecapping Mayer's 2024 fantasy value. Mayer was wildly productive in college, with more than 800 receiving yards in his final two seasons at Notre Dame. Mayer averaged only 2.9 targets a game in 2023, and it's hard to imagine his weekly target counts significantly increasing when he has to share targets with Bowers and superstar WR Davante Adams.

Michael Mayer said he has made a complete recovery from the toe injury that led to him missing the final three games of last season.

Fantasy Impact

Mayer has fully participated in the offseason program so far for the Raiders. He will likely remain off the fantasy radar with Las Vegas drafting Brock Bowers last month.
