Michael Mayer Inactive for Week 5 Against Colts

Sunday, October 5, 11:35 AM

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer (concussion) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Indianapolis Colts. The 24-year-old, who was listed as questionable, has already been sidelined for nearly two full games and will miss at least one more contest. His absence comes at a tough time for the Raiders, who are also without star tight end Brock Bowers (knee). Vegas will turn to Ian Thomas as its primary tight end this week, but he's not a dependable fantasy option.

Ben Sinnott To See More Snaps Against Raiders?

Saturday, September 20, 11:33 AM

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott could be in line to see more snaps in Week 3 against the Raiders with tight end John Bates (groin) out. Sinnott has operated as Washington's third tight end since being drafted in the second round of last year's draft, but he has a chance to see a career high in snaps this week. Sinnott only played three snaps total and caught one ball for eight yards with Bates injured in Week 2's loss to the Packers, and how often he plays in Week 3 will be telling for the second-year tight end. He's not a direct replacement for Bates because he's not as good a blocker at the point of attack, but he is solid at blocking on the move and is an excellent athlete. There could be some specific packages for Sinnott against the Raiders, and getting a real look at him in game action will be noteworthy for his dynasty value. But he isn't on radars in redraft leagues for Week 3.
