STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Bateman's slot rate tripled to 26% under new scheme; role shift opens WR36 upside.

Bateman is playing significantly more slot snaps (26% in recent games) compared to his previous three seasons (9.8%, 7.7%, 9.7%) and 2022 (10%), marking a major role shift. He's being used on more crossing and breaking routes off motion and executing assignments well, though he's still a pure perimeter receiver being stretched vertically. With Jacoby Lane returning, Bateman could see reduced vertical route volume but remains relevant as the offense improves.
