Michael MayerTELV
Mayer was widely projected as an early second-rounder, ahead of Sam LaPorta, but has been overlooked due to the Raiders selecting Brock Bowers. While overall numbers are modest, Mayer showed flashes when Bowers missed time, including nine catches for 89 yards against the Giants. The Raiders are expected to use more 2-TE sets under Klint Kubiak, which should increase Mayer's opportunities. The source suggests buying low now before he potentially becomes a productive starter elsewhere.
