Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2020
2015
Mayo started at least one game each of the past six seasons but only once started more than four. He's probably looking at more of the same this year, working as Washington's third or fourth linebacker.
Mayo might technically be a starter but isn't likely to get a lot of playing time on passing downs and in the nickel defense. He started four of his 16 games last season and played only 166 total snaps on defense.
Mayo signed a three-year extension in March and projected as the Giants' starting inside linebacker opposite newly acquired Blake Martinez. Martinez was already the much better bet to lead the team in tackles, and it now appears Mayo will miss at least the first half of the season with a meniscus injury.
A rookie fifth-round pick, Mayo is expected to compete for snaps at linebacker and try his hand at special teams this season.
