Headed to NFL
December 7, 2022
Mayer said Wednesday that he'll sit out Notre Dame's Dec. 30 Gator Bowl matchup with South Carolina to begin preparations for the 2023 NFL Draft, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 6-foot-4, 265-pound Mayer should have a strong chance of hearing his name called in the first round as the first tight end off the board in the draft following an exceptional three-year career at Notre Dame. Over his final two seasons with the Fighting Irish, Mayer tallied 138 receptions for 1,649 yards and 16 touchdowns in 24 games.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Mayer impressed as a freshman and took things to another level as a sophomore with 71 catches for 840 yards and seven touchdowns on 99 targets. Notre Dame’s offense often features the tight end but Mayer makes it a necessity as he is an athletic mismatch for any defense. The Irish have a fairly talented group of receivers but Mayer is the top option. That type of role is rare for tight ends and he is a close second to Brock Bowers in our rankings. There’s a steep drop-off at the position after Mayer so if you want a premium tight end like him, you’ll have to pounce early.
Mayer just paced all freshman tight ends in targets (61), receptions (42) and yards (450) and could be in line for an even bigger role in 2021. The former five-star recruit could lead the team in targets after the Irish’s other top three targets moved on from the program. There could be a dropoff at quarterback following Ian Book’s departure, leaving question marks at the position, however. Still, even if quarterback play drops off, Mayer’s role is secure and his five-star talent can help overcome inefficient quarterback play and make him one of the top fantasy tight ends.
