Flock Fantasy suggests Michael Mayer is an intriguing pickup for teams that lost Brock Bowers, but notes that once Jordan Tyson returns and Jawan Johnson becomes less appealing, Mayer becomes a waiver-wire name with diminished appeal.PositiveValueSep 10, 2026
Best pivot option for Brock Bowers owners. Dr. Daniel Cooper ranked Mayer at TE24 rest-of-season and TE15 in weekly rankings. Cooper prefers Mayer over Amari Cooper and Darren Waller in rest-of-season rankings, and prefers Mayer over Hunter Henry, Dalton Schultz, and Jake Ferguson in weekly matchups. Mayer faces Miami in the relevant week, which is not a scary matchup. If Juwan Johnson is unavailable on waivers, Mayer is the fallback tight end option.PositiveSleeperSep 9, 2026
Jaylen Herz identifies Michael Mayer as a streaming option for those who lost Brock Bowers. Mayer is described as a very talented tight end who hasn't been able to show production because he's been stuck playing behind Hunter Henry, the best tight end in the NFL. With Henry ranked at 16, Mayer represents upside if given opportunity.
