Ja'Kobi Lane looked great (4-40-0, 5 targets) in his return from injured reserve and independently made his case for a large role despite Bateman's injury not leading to more playing time. Lane played 87% of snaps in 11 personnel but just 15% in heavier formations, suggesting he may be especially useful in the red zone and could give the Ravens another weapon in their receiving corps.

Lane returned in Week 6 and it was encouraging, and it'll only get better when Lamar Jackson returns. Lane wowed in the preseason and should quickly replace Rashod Bateman as the #2 wideout in Baltimore; in fact that started to happen in the second half on Sunday.

Lane was lauded as one of the Ravens' rising players throughout the preseason but broke his wrist in Week 1. He returned Sunday against the Browns and looked comfortable with four receptions for 40 yards on five targets. He's arguably the team's best red-zone receiver, and the offense will be in scoring position more once Lamar Jackson returns from his ankle injury. Lane has sneaky upside among free-agent wide receivers.

Lane returned from IR in Week 6 after fracturing his wrist in Week 1 and showed why the Ravens used a third-round pick on him; he earned five targets against the Browns, finishing with four receptions and 40 yards while catching passes from backup Tyler Huntley. With Lamar Jackson expected back possibly this week and Rashod Bateman sidelined by shoulder injury, Baltimore's passing attack becomes more dangerous. Lane has a path to emerging as a fantasy WR3/flex option in Declan Doyle's scheme, with potential shootouts against the Bengals, Bills, and Jaguars in the next three games.

Lane returned from a wrist injury in Week 6 and was immediately relied upon after Rashod Bateman aggravated a shoulder injury. He drew 3 red-zone targets (4 counting a nullified TD via penalty) on 23% targets per route. The Ravens' offense ranks inside the top-10 with nearly four red-zone drives per game and, unlike past seasons, doesn't have a large share of production going to the tight end position. Lane can be the top contested-catch option in the red zone going forward, with Zay Flowers handling designed and underneath work.
