Michael Mayer News
Sunday, March 29, 8:20 AM
The 35th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Las Vegas Raiders right end Michael Mayer flashed some upside by hauling in 27 receptions for 304 yards and two touchdowns on 40 targets as a rookie. However, Las Vegas drafted superstar tight end Brock Bowers in the first round in 2024, blocking Mayer from the Raiders' lead receiving tight end role. Even in a season in which Bowers missed five games due to injury in 2025, Mayer still finished the year with just 35 catches for 328 yards and one touchdown on 50 targets. The 24-year-old is now entering the final year of his rookie deal with Las Vegas and has yet to establish himself as a tight end who is worthy of a significant role in his team's passing game. In the deepest of dynasty leagues, Mayer could be worth buying low on in case he winds up on a different team in 2027. Still, his dynasty value has never been lower than it is entering 2026.

Harold Fannin Jr. News
Tuesday, June 9, 10:41 AM
The Athletics Zac Jackson reports that Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (undisclosed) is absent from the team's minicamp practices this week and hasn't been seen at all this spring. The Browns haven't specified the reason for Fannin's absence, but he was dealing with a groin injury at the tail end of his first year in the NFL in 2025. It doesn't sound like the 21-year-old's injury issue is all that serious, but Fannin's status is certainly worth keeping a close eye on as Cleveland enters training camp at the end of July. The former third-rounder (67th overall pick) last year out of Bowling Green led the Browns in receiving with 72 catches for 731 yards and six touchdowns on 107 targets in 16 games played in his first year in the NFL. Although Cleveland's quarterback situation still isn't exactly ideal, Fannin's pass-catching prowess has boosted him into low-end TE1 consideration as he heads into his sophomore season. He should once again be one of the focal points in the passing game for the Browns in 2026 as long as he's healthy.
