Bateman saw a bump in volume Sunday in the loss to the Saints with Zay Flowers (hamstring) down for the game. Bateman caught 7 of a team-high 9 targets, finishing with 88 yards and a touchdown (21.8 points). And the touchdown grab went as designed by new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. Reduced split. One-on-one route -- with the void in the middle of the field. If Flowers is out again for next week's matchup at Dallas, Bateman can be started as a WR2/Flex option.

Bateman's 7 of 9 targets (21.8 pts) with Flowers out elevates him to WR2/Flex tier

Bateman saw a bump in volume in Week 2 with Zay Flowers (hamstring) down for the game. He caught 7 of a team-high 9 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown (21.8 points), with the touchdown grab going as designed by new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle on a reduced split, one-on-one route with void in the middle of the field. Bowen projects Bateman can be started as a WR2/Flex option if Flowers is out again for Week 3 at Dallas.
