Listed as a start at tight end with obvious reasons following Brock Bowers' injury; ranked as tight end 4-5 in Week 1 projections. The source would start him over all tight ends except McBride, LaPorta, Loveland, and Warren. Historical college production exceptional: only two tight ends in Power Five history have multiple 800+ receiving yard seasons (Mayer and Brock Bowers). In 2024 games without Bowers, Mayer posted 78% route share and 2.25 yards per route run.NegativeRoleAug 14, 2026
Michael Mayer is identified as a really good run blocker for the Raiders, making him the preferred choice for 12 personnel point-of-attack blocking assignments. This role distinction suggests Mayer will be used in run-heavy packages while Brock Bowers handles more athletic backside assignments in outside zone runs, indicating a complementary tight end split rather than Bowers being the primary blocker.PositiveRoleMay 27, 2026
Mayer could be the second-best pass catcher on the Raiders and potentially the wide receiver two in 12 personnel, with high-end tight end two to borderline tight end one production when running over two-thirds of routes.
