Bateman's ankle injury fallout continues; sit in Week 1 despite coordinator change.

Bateman fell flat last year while dealing with an ankle injury, finishing as WR93 in fantasy points per game with only one week inside the top 36 wide receivers in weekly scoring. He posted a 10.5% target share, 0.76 yards per route run, and 10.9% first-read share. While the source hopes for a bounceback under new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, he needs to see it materialize. Against single-high coverage (which the Colts used 64.7% of defensive snaps with Sauce Gardner available last year and are expected to use heavily again), Bateman had only a 15% target-per-route run rate and 0.82 yards per route run. The source recommends sitting Bateman in Week 1.
