Michael Mayer

Michael Mayer was sidelined from practice on Wednesday.

Mayer was sidelined this past Monday. If he remains sidelined this week, Austin Hooper would again be in a bigger role but not one that makes him fantasy relevant.

The Raiders ruled out TE Michael Mayer from their Week 16 game against the Chiefs due to a toe injury.

Mayer scored a TD in Week 15 but missed practices with the injury. Austin Hooper will get the starting nod for Las Vegas against a stout Kansas City defense ranked 5th in DVOA against tight ends. He is a desperation add only.

Michael Mayer was sidelined in practice on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

It is the second straight missed practice for Mayer to open the week. He'll have to practice in some fashion on Saturday to have a chance of playing on Monday.

Michael Mayer caught four of his five targets for 39 yards and one touchdown during the Raiders' 63-21 win over the Chargers in Week 15.

Fantasy Impact

The rookie has played at least 80 percent of snaps in each of his last seven games, producing relatively steady results but failing to emerge as a reliable fantasy starter. Thursday's outing was certainly a step in the right direction, and he'll likely rank as a mid-to-low TE2 for Week 16 against the Chiefs.

Michael Mayer caught 1-of-2 targets for 14 yards in the Raiders’ 3-0 loss to the Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

Mayer’s target share fell Sunday after logging at least four targets in his past three games. The 22-year-old fell victim to the Raiders’ offense struggling to get anything going Sunday. Mayer and the Raiders will look to turn it around in Week 15 against the Chargers.
