Michael Mayer News
Friday, November 6, 2:16 PM
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer continues to have some fantasy weight, but it will be limited against a stingy San Francisco 49ers defense in Week 9. Mayer has proven to be a flex option in the Brock Bowers-led offense, totaling 36 catches for 351 yards and one touchdown through eight games. He has also been very efficient, catching 84% of his targets this season. That includes five catches on six targets for 53 yards in a win against a solid New York Jets defense. That being said, the 49ers have been tough against tight ends in 2026, allowing just 1.8 receptions for 12.7 yards per game on average. San Francisco will be fresh off a bye week and have an even sturdier defensive front with the addition of DeForest Buckner and the return of Nick Bosa (calf). The pressure on Kirk Cousins will impact the passing game, so Mayer's target share could take a hit. Still, his efficiency makes him a solid streaming option despite the difficult matchup.

Tucker Kraft News
Sunday, November 8, 5:21 PM
Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft caught just one of his three targets for one receiving yard during Sunday's Week 9 win over the New England Patriots. He also rushed for eight yards on two carries. The Packers' passing game had a fantastic performance on Sunday, but Kraft wasn't able to join in on the excitement. This was an uncharacteristically quiet game from Kraft, who had been averaging 11.1 PPR points per game entering Week 9. Sunday's game certainly showed that the Packers can win games by just throwing the ball to their wide receivers, as Christian Watson and Matthew Golden combined for 17 catches, 335 yards, and two touchdowns. However, Kraft has the talent to be a steady component of this passing game, and so we'd expect him to bounce back as a solid TE1 option in Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings.
