STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Mayer's limited volume and elite 49ers TE defense make him unplayable.

Since Week 3, Mayer has been the TE9 in fantasy points per game. In those six games, he has had a 13.3% target share, 1.83 YPRR, only two deep targets, one red zone target, and an 11.9% first-read share. He has been efficient with limited volume and doesn't have much high-value usage in this offense. Even if the source could get past all that, he has a tough matchup this week. The 49ers have been tough on tight ends; over their last five games, they have allowed the fifth-fewest yards per target and the tenth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity. Sit Mayer.
