Michael Mayer has been the TE16 in fantasy points per game, with four weeks with at least 10.5 PPR points. During that span, he has had a 12.1% target share with 1.71 YPRR, one red zone target, one deep target, and a 9.7% first-read share. The minimal touchdown equity and first-read share make Mayer a fringe streaming option only.

Mayer's low first-read share and touchdown equity make him a fringe streaming option.

Since Week 3, Mayer has been TE16 in fantasy points per game with four weeks of at least 10.5 PPR points, but his 12.1% target share, 1.71 YPRR, one red zone target, one deep target, and 9.7% first-read share indicate minimal touchdown equity and limited involvement in the offense. The source rates him a fringe streaming option only. Against New York this week, the Jets have allowed the ninth-most yards per target to tight ends but held the position to only one receiving touchdown and 14th-fewest fantasy points per opportunity.
