Who Should I Start? Michael Mayer or Tyler Warren

Friday, September 26, 5:17 PM

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer (concussion) has officially been ruled out for the Week 4 game this Sunday against the Chicago Bears, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. Mayer suffered a concussion in the Week 3 loss to the Washington Commanders last Sunday and was unable to practice all week. The 24-year-old will look to clear the league's concussion protocol next week and play in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts. Mayer will remain involved in the Raiders' offense when he's healthy, but he can't realistically be considered a starting fantasy option with Brock Bowers soaking up heavy targets in front of him. Through three weeks, Mayer has only six catches on seven targets for 47 yards and no touchdowns. Bowers should have a bounce-back game in Week 4 against Chicago against a soft Bears defense with Mayer out.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren will look to continue a hot start to his rookie season in a Week 4 road matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Warren has caught 14 passes for 193 yards through three games as he and Michael Pittman Jr. have been the focal points for Daniel Jones in the passing attack. The Rams represent a decent matchup for Warren as they are allowing the 18th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends this year. Warren sets up as a top-eight fantasy tight end heading into Week 4.
