BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+Team TE Premium Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end TE2
ANALYSIS: The rookie out of Notre Dame has been a victim of this underwhelming Raiders passing attack in his first pro campaign. After what appeared to be a breakout 5-catch, 75-yard performance in Week 6 hasn't topped 50 receiving yards in a game since.

Mayer had garnered four or more targets in three straight prior to earning just two looks in Las Vegas' embarrassing 3-0 loss to the Vikings in Week 14. If there's a silver lining for Mayer's fantasy managers, he does draw a positive matchup against the Chargers in Week 15. L.A. has allowed the NFL's sixth-most receiving yards to tight ends in 2023. While the rookie appears to have plenty of talent and a plus draw against the Bolts, Mayer should be considered nothing more than a fringe option in deeper, TE-Premium leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Don't Add ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's still not a good idea to use a waiver claim or even a bench spot on Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins. He caught all four of his targets for 86 yards last week, but that performance was the exception rather than the rule […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The waiver period has passed, but Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards is still only rostered in 20% of Sleeper leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: DeMario Douglas once again led all Patriots wide receivers in receiving yards this past Sunday. New England has been maddeningly inconsistent with their wide receiver usage. However, the one constant has been Douglas. He looks like the team’s best pass catcher […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Legette is coming off a bit of a disappointing game Sunday against the New York Giants.
