Outlook Rashod Bateman

Rashod Bateman at Atlanta — Perimeter Role Offers Boom-or-Bust Appeal

Bateman enters Week 5 healthy and operating as a starting outside receiver for Baltimore, though target volume has cooled over his last two games with just five total looks. While quarterback Lamar Jackson is dealing with an ankle injury to monitor, Bateman continues to serve as an explosive perimeter target alongside Zay Flowers.

Our weekly projection forecasts around 2.4 receptions and 35 receiving yards against Atlanta. Given that his start rate has dropped to 5% across leagues, he is a risky, boom-or-bust flex dart throw who needs a splash play or end-zone visit to return standalone value.
