Outlook Efton Chism
Efton Chism vs NYJ — Emerging Role in Shorthanded Receiving Room
Chism has maximized his opportunities following Mack Hollins' calf injury, earning public praise from head coach Mike Vrabel after tallying 7 receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown over his last two outings. With Hollins now sidelined on injured reserve, Chism provides depth behind DeMario Douglas and Romeo Doubs, seeing increased routes across New England's perimeter and slot packages.
Our weekly projection anticipates 6.6 fantasy points on roughly 3 targets and 24 receiving yards against the division-rival Jets. With New England favored by 7 at home, game script could skew run-heavy, but Chism's reliable hands and rising snap share make him an intriguing deep-league stash and speculative flex in deeper formats.

Outlook Rashod Bateman
Rashod Bateman at Cleveland — Low-Volume Outside Option Faces Tough Divisional Test
Bateman comes into Week 6 healthy and operating as a starting perimeter receiver for Baltimore alongside Zay Flowers. While he flashed in Week 5 with five catches for 62 yards on six targets, the passing volume remains volatile, especially with Lamar Jackson dealing with an ankle injury. In what projects as a gritty road clash against the Browns, Baltimore may lean on the ground game.
Our weekly projection puts Bateman at 6.9 fantasy points with roughly 2.3 catches and 34 receiving yards. Fantasy managers have grown skeptical, starting him in just 4% of leagues. Without reliable target volume or guaranteed red-zone looks, he is best viewed as a bench stash or risky deep-league flyer rather than a trusted lineup option.
