Rashod Bateman was a first-round pick by the Ravens as part of DeCosta's reallocation of resources into the wide receiver room early in the Lamar Jackson era. Returns on Bateman have been mixed at best, making him one of the questionable investments in the receiver room alongside Nate Wiggins and Malaki Starks.

Bateman's roster rate has dropped below 15 percent on Yahoo despite the 2021 first-round pick tallying 11 catches for 171 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets in the four weeks Lamar Jackson (ankle) was healthy; Joe Bartel notes the duo's rapport was noticeable early in the season and is comfortable betting on a BAL/BUF matchup producing plenty of points, setting the stage for flex consideration.

Ranks third in average separation score this season. Dealing with a shoulder injury that could prevent him from suiting up on Sunday, but the return of Lamar Jackson could make Bateman exciting in a hurry. The Ravens are implied to score the third-most points in Week 7 (seemingly under the assumption that Lamar is returning), making these complementary pass-catchers attractive dart throws.
