Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer could be worth adding ahead of his team's Week 2 Monday night matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, particularly for fantasy managers with Brock Bowers (knee) on their roster. Bowers is officially questionable to play on Monday after leaving Week 1 early due to a knee injury, although Raiders head coach Pete Carroll has said he expects his star tight end to suit up. Mayer logged four catches for 38 yards in Week 1 while sharing the field with Bowers for most of the game. If Bowers is unable to play in Week 2, Mayer could be in line for a significant target increase in a Raiders' offense that logged 34 pass attempts in its first game of the season.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Elijah Arroyo is not worth rostering, let alone starting in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Arroyo played just 31% of the snaps in Week 1. He is going to take time to work into the offense. The athletic and talented young rookie has a chance to push for more touches as the season wears on, but he is squarely behind AJ Barner in the tight end pecking order. However, each week fantasy managers should keep an eye on his snap share. If that rises, a substantial role in the offense will be predictable. Until then, he is better left on waivers.
