According to interim head coach Antonio Pierce, Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer (toe) is ruled out for Week 18's game versus the Denver Broncos.
Mayer's first NFL season will end after he was unable to play the final two games with a toe injury.
Expect Austin Hooper to see the majority of snaps against a Denver defense allowing the most fantasy production (16.1) to tight ends per game.
