The Las Vegas Raiders placed Michael Mayer (personal) on the reserve/non-football illness list Friday.Mayer has been away from the team since at least Sept. 26 as he tends to a personal matter that has sidelined him the last two games and will keep him out through the Raiders' Week 10 bye. He'll be first eligible to get back on the active roster Sunday, Nov. 17 at Miami, but in the meantime, Harrison Bryant and John Samuel Shenker will handle the TE reps that don't go to rookie sensation Brock Bowers.

Raiders' Michael Mayer: One reception in Week 3 loss
Michael Mayer caught one pass for seven yards on three targets in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Panthers.Mayer's overall route participation was limited as the Las Vegas Raiders found themselves facing a significant deficit for much of the contest, therefore using plenty of 11 personnel with each of Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker logging an offensive snap share greater than 80 percent while tight end Brock Bowers secured three of four targets for 41 yards of his own. Mayer has posted a meager 4-21-0 receiving line on seven total targets through the first three weeks of the season.

Raiders' Michael Mayer: Makes 11-yard reception Sunday
Michael Mayer caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Ravens.Mayer once again logged nearly as many offensive snaps (39) as fellow tight end Brock Bowers (43), but the first-round rookie erupted for 98 yards and caught all nine of his targets. With the Las Vegas Raiders struggling to get much going on the ground through the first two weeks of the season, Mayer could be tasked with additional blocking duties while Bowers enjoys a more fantasy-friendly route tree, especially if the team manages to build a lead against the Panthers in Week 3.

Raiders' Michael Mayer: Targeted three times in loss
Michael Mayer caught two of three targets for three yards in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Chargers.Mayer averaged just one yard per target in the Las Vegas Raiders' season opener, while rookie tight end Brock Bowers paced the team in receptions with six grabs for 58 yards on eight looks from quarterback Gardner Minshew. Despite being the No. 2 TE option in Las Vegas, Mayer played only seven fewer snaps than Bowers' 41, but the former's fantasy output could remain touchdown dependent, whereas Bowers seems better positioned to see more consistent target volume.
