Rashod Bateman at Atlanta — Shoulder Injury Clouds Low-Volume Role

Bateman is currently questionable for Sunday's road matchup in Atlanta after logging a limited practice on Wednesday with a shoulder issue. While he opens on the perimeter for Baltimore, his opportunities have cooled to just five targets across his past two games. Be sure to check back often for the latest news regarding his availability.

Our weekly projection slots Bateman for 2.2 receptions, 30.2 receiving yards, and 6.6 fantasy points. Rostered in under 30% of leagues and started in just 2%, he remains heavily touchdown-dependent in a run-heavy attack, making him a risky flex option suited only for deep fantasy formats.
