2023 Fantasy Outlook
Mayer was at one point viewed as the consensus top tight end in a strong 2023 rookie class at the position. He caught 138 passes for 1,649 yards and 16 touchdowns over his final two seasons at Notre Dame, but that doesn't mean he'll hit the ground running in the NFL. Mayer is right around average size for an NFL tight end at 6-4, 249, and his 4.70-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine was also about average for a starter. He’s a good route runner with excellent hands, but getting open against superior athletes at the NFL level is no guarantee. Mayer is unlikely to reach the upper echelon of tight end production as a rookie even if he pans out long term – over the last 20 years, only three TEs topped 600 yards in their rookie seasons: Kyle Pitts in 2021 (1,026 yards), Evan Engram in 2017 (722 yards) and John Carlson in 2008 (627 yards).

Notches two-point conversion on SNF
Mayer was on the receiving end of a two-point conversion in Sunday's 23-18 loss to the Steelers, but he otherwise didn't record an official reception.
ANALYSIS
Mayer's only target resulted in quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's (concussion) first of three interceptions, and the rookie was out-snapped, 55-34, by fellow tight end Austin Hooper, who also was held without a catch. Mayer has hauled in just one pass for two yards through the first three games of his NFL career.
