Year-3 WR trap: theoretical upside that slowly dissolved into nothing

Jakob Sanderson cites Rashad Bateman as a historical cautionary example of a year-3 wide receiver with theoretical upside that failed to deliver dynasty value. Bateman represents the trap of spending roster value on young players with multiple narrative paths to success who ultimately dissolve into nothing. Sanderson groups him with Jahan Dotson as examples to avoid repeating when evaluating similar bets on players like Jalen Coker.
