Raiders' Michael Mayer: Limited to one catch Sunday
Mayer brought in one of two targets for 10 yards in the Raiders' 31-0 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Mayer drew a second consecutive start in place of Brock Bowers (knee), but his numbers paled in comparison to the 5-50-1 line on seven targets he generated against the Titans in his initial turn with the first unit. Mayer's run as the top tight end may have come to an end Sunday, considering Bowers is expected to be healthy enough to play in a Week 9 home matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 2 following a Week 8 bye.

Raiders' Michael Mayer: Headed for another start sans Bowers
Mayer is expected to remain a focal point of the Las Vegas passing attack Sunday against the Chiefs with top tight end Brock Bowers (knee) and top receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee/toe) inactive for the contest, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.
Bowers is missing his third straight game, but Mayer will be stepping in as the No. 1 tight end for just the second consecutive contest, after the Notre Dame product had previously sat out losses to the Bears in Week 4 and the Colts in Week 5 due to a concussion. In his return to action for this past Sunday's 20-10 win over the Titans, Mayer played 56 of 61 snaps on offense on his way to amassing a 5-50-1 receiving line on seven targets. The Raiders had Meyers available for that contest, but his absence for Week 7 along with Bowers' could free up even more volume for Mayer. The 24-year-old thus projects as a solid lineup option this week for fantasy managers looking for a Bowers replacement or otherwise in need of an alternative at the position.

Raiders' Michael Mayer: Strikes fantasy gold in spot-start
Mayer had five receptions on seven targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Titans.
Mayer returned from a two-game layoff to find himself as the Raiders' starting tight end sans Brock Bowers (knee). The veteran backup took full advantage of the opportunity, scoring his first touchdown of the season and rewarding savvy managers who scooped him up for Week 6. It is currently unclear if Bowers will be available for next Sunday's tilt against the Chiefs. If the starter's knee keeps him on the sidelines, then Mayer would retain his elevated streaming appeal in Week 7.

Raiders' Michael Mayer: Opportunity knocks with Bowers out
Mayer (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, while Brock Bowers (knee) has been ruled out, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Mayer missed the Raiders' previous two games due to a concussion but cleared league protocol earlier in the week and subsequently logged three full practices during Week 6 prep. He's expected to play a significant role in Vegas' passing offense in Bowers' absence.

Raiders' Michael Mayer: Clears protocol, to practice in full
Raiders coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Mayer has cleared the concussion protocol and is on track to practice in full, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Mayer has missed back-to-back games but now appears on track to return for Sunday's matchup against the Titans, while starting tight end Brock Bowers (knee) is considered week-to-week and could be rested in advance of the Raiders' upcoming bye in Week 7. With that context, Mayer could be positioned for a start at home against Tennessee, while Ian Thomas and Carter Runyon should handle reserve reps at the position.

Raiders' Michael Mayer: Sidelined again in Week 5
Mayer (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Though Mayer was a limited participant in practice throughout the week, he wasn't able to make enough progress in his recovery from the brain injury to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. Mayer typically serves as the Raiders' No. 2 tight end when he's available, but his absence will loom larger in Week 5 since starter Brock Bowers (knee) is inactive for the first time in his career. With Bowers and Mayer in street clothes, the Raiders are left with Ian Thomas, Carter Runyon and practice-squad call-up Albert Okwuegbunam as their available options in the position group.

Raiders' Michael Mayer: Iffy for Sunday's contest
Mayer (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
The Raiders are listing their top two tight ends as questionable for the contest, as Brock Bowers (knee) is also taking a designation into Sunday after managing just one limited practice this week. Mayer, meanwhile, was a limited participant throughout the week, but if he can clear the five-step concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's contest, he could be in line for a prominent role in the event that Bowers sits. If both Bowers and Mayer end up sitting out, however, the Raiders would be left with Ian Thomas and Carter Runyon as their healthy options at the position.

Raiders' Michael Mayer: Limited again Thursday
Mayer (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
Mayer has been slowly working his way back from a concussion he suffered Week 3 versus the Commanders. He's now logged back-to-back limited efforts to begin the week, potentially opening the door for him to clear concussion protocol and play Sunday in Indianapolis.

Mayer (concussion) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Paul H. Gutierrez of Raiders.com reports.

Raiders' Michael Mayer: Won't play Sunday
Mayer (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Paul Gutierrez of Raiders.com reports.
Mayer didn't practice this week, so his next chance to see game action will arrive Sunday, Oct. 5 against the Colts. In Mayer's absence, fellow TE Ian Thomas is in line to serve as Brock Bowers' top backup Sunday, with Albert Okwuegbunam and Carter Runyon representing possible Week 4 practice-squad elevations.
