Outlook Rashod Bateman
Expanded Target Share Beckons with Zay Flowers Sidelined
Bateman was held without a catch on a lone target in the opener, but the coaching staff praised his route running and expects bigger days ahead. More importantly, top receiver Zay Flowers has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, thrusting Bateman into Baltimore's primary perimeter role.
Our models project him for roughly 5 targets, 47 receiving yards, and 0.4 touchdowns (around 7 to 10 fantasy points). With Baltimore favored at home against New Orleans, game script could lean toward the ground game, but Bateman's sudden volume bump makes him an appealing flex or streaming option.
