## Resource

Michael Mayer just signed a massive 3-year, $45M deal with $30M guaranteed — locking him in with Vegas through 2029 — but fantasy players should brace for a twist: his value might dip as Brock Bowers emerges as the Raiders’ top tight end. Mayer’s proven he can deliver when called upon, but with Bowers healthy, he may not be a consistent starter. And with Bowers’ contract options extending into the future, Mayer could face a similar role limbo — especially since he won’t hit free agency until he’s 28. Big money, limited upside? That’s the new fantasy reality. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
