Lane is in a similar situation to Cooper, as a rookie who got hurt in the opener and returned from IR with a solid performance in Week 6. The 22-year-old earned five targets against the Browns, finishing with four receptions and 40 yards while catching passes from backup Tyler Huntley. Rashod Bateman suffered a shoulder injury in the game, which could sidelined him for multiple weeks. With Jackson expected back, possibly as soon as this week, Baltimore's passing attack will be a much more dangerous unit. Lane might not have the same draft capital investment as Cooper, but there's a path to him emerging as a fantasy WR3/flex option.

Positive signalBreakout

Lane's five-target performance and Bateman's injury create WR3/flex upside.

Lane returned from IR in Week 6 after fracturing his wrist in Week 1 and showed why the Ravens used a third-round pick on him; he earned five targets against the Browns, finishing with four receptions and 40 yards while catching passes from backup Tyler Huntley. With Lamar Jackson expected back possibly this week and Rashod Bateman sidelined by shoulder injury, Baltimore's passing attack becomes more dangerous. Lane has a path to emerging as a fantasy WR3/flex option in Declan Doyle's scheme, with potential shootouts against the Bengals, Bills, and Jaguars in the next three games.
