The Las Vegas Raiders will visit the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Michael Mayer.

Should You Start or Sit Mayer in Week 13?
You’re late to the party if you’re reading this, but Michael Mayer can be dropped without hesitation.
On Sunday, Brock Bowers ran nine routes for every one of his and Ian Thomas actually worked ahead of Mayer in terms of routes and targets against the Browns.
This offense is a mess on too many levels to count and sustaining two viable tight ends is something even the top units struggle with. Mayer’s contingent value isn’t nearly high enough to justify holding: if Bowers were to get hurt, you get access to a marginal player in a Geno Smith led offense.
Is that really worth waiting for?
