Rashad Bateman is WR28 and was WR10 on WR17 usage last week. With Zay Flowers likely out (hasn't practiced all week), Bateman is the clear focal point with no other viable targets behind him. The Cowboys' coverage has been unreal with injuries to Kobe Durant (hamstring), Malik Hooker (safety), and Sean Lee (linebacker). The Ravens are projected for 28.5 points with Derek Henry and Mark Andrews likely getting touchdowns, leaving another TD for Bateman. However, the Ravens have looked worse in second halves and Lamar Jackson was pressured on 55% of dropbacks last week with Ronnie Stanley dealing with a toe.PositiveUsageSep 22, 2026
Bateman played 38 of 40 dropbacks in Week 2 with 7 catches, 88 yards, and 1 touchdown; he ran nearly every route and was the clear number two receiver behind Flowers with approximately 50% route share among other receivers. The source notes the Ravens offense is heavily focused on their WR1 (Flowers), making Bateman a short-term play dependent on Flowers' injury status, but his route volume and designed plays suggest the Ravens are committed to getting him involved.PositiveUsageSep 22, 2026
Bateman played 38 of 40 dropbacks in week 3 and posted elite counting stats: 7 catches, 88 yards, 1 touchdown. He had a 22-yard touchdown reception and is demonstrating high-volume opportunity and production consistency.PositiveRoleSep 21, 2026
Matt Harmon notes that Rashad Bateman is stepping up into the Zay Flowers role for the Ravens. While Bateman had a great game, Harmon emphasizes that the Ravens struggle to find other options when Bateman is covered, highlighting a need for secondary pass-catchers to emerge.PositiveRoleSep 21, 2026
Rashad Bateman stepped into the primary wide receiver role for the Ravens in Week 2, effectively filling the Zay Flowers role. He was the primary target for Lamar Jackson, including a touchdown on a seam route, and is currently the most reliable receiver on the team.PositiveValueSep 18, 2026
The source suggests Rashad Bateman might be ranked too low for the upcoming week, noting that despite the Ravens' offensive struggles, Bateman is the clear top wide receiver option given the lack of competition from teammates like LaJohntay Wester and Chris Moore.NegativeUsageSep 15, 2026
Rashad Bateman recorded zero production in Week 1 despite injuries to teammates. He is not recommended for fantasy rosters if Zay Flowers is active.PositiveUsageSep 14, 2026
Rashad Bateman is effectively off the fantasy radar after recording zero receptions on just one target in a game where other Ravens receivers were sidelined.
